With the thought of a rainy day ahead of us, I could only hope for some quiet time at home with the kids. Olivia and Zach were up for this, especially since their favorite thing to wear is pajamas. Fun Friday, here we are! My neighbor, Jill, watched the kids while I ran to an appointment and, after talking to my sister, took her idea of making our own pizzas for dinner tonight. I picked up a few things at the store and we were set. I know my kids love to cook, so Olivia requested to make Pumpkin soup and I came up with the idea of a sweet treat for them of Orange Sweet Rolls. Hey, what says rainy day more than cooking goodies?

Skylar came over, ate lunch with us and we borrowed The Lion King. This is the first time Olivia and Zach have seen the movie, so what a treat (along with all the other goodies). While our sweet buns were cooking, Garrett, another neighbor, came over and we decorated mini pumpkins with glitter. Ding, sweets are ready, pumpkins are beautifully decorated, I've arranged for playdates for both kids and homemade pizzas (cooked by the kids) are on tap - am I June Cleaver or what?! Garrett thought he hit the jackpot! I think my kids know better than to expect this type of behavior everyday, but it has been a fun one!
