hello, lovely

     After being totally out of it for the first week of 2012, I have definitely made up for it in week two! We kicked off our weekend (Saturday night) with homemade pizza. We used the raw dough you can buy pre-made in a ball at Raley's. It turned out great!

What? You didn't know Power Rangers could make pizza as well as fight dinosaurs? Well, this one can.

Next time I will separate the dough into several balls so that Adrian and Sawyer can make their own "kid kind" without mushrooms or olives.

 Also earlier that day Adrian and I put together what turned out to be THE MOST AMAZING Chocolate Pie. If a Chocolate Pudding Pie and Chocolate Mousse had a baby- it would be this Nestle Chocolate Satin Pie. Add in that it's super easy to make and we have an instant winner for my family.

Okay, who forgot this kids bib?

 Another highlight of my weekend was putting the boys in matching outfits. Is it mean? I've done matching PJ's before- but this time it was full on twinsies in public. Whatever.  I probably only have like...one more year before they refuse and think it's silly- and by then I guess they'll be old enough to where it might indeed be silly. I really tried to get a picture of them standing together.

Like- holding hands. Or resting hands on each others shoulders. Or doing some cute twinsie pose, but nooOOOo. Not going to happen.

  After dressing like Gufous and Gallant- Adrian made me promise to let him put on his Power Ranger costume to go to MEGA PARK. If you live in Reno and have not visited Damonte Ranch Park yet, you are big time missing out. It is so awesome.  I am afraid to go on the level three play structure and can't imagine how this thing could have passed a safety inspection. I expected at every height he reached for my little man to topple off the thing. I listened as my friend Kristen went down the Super Slide with her three year old- screaming. Kirsten, that is.

                          Adrian rode his bike all around the place(another new development!)

                             and Sawyer toddled around jabbering at any kid who came close.

                                                          All in all- it was a great day.
