I also decided it would be fun to have pizza rather than making sack lunches. Quickly, I made the dough and pizza sauce, grabbed the other pizza ingredients I had on hand, got ready to go, and shoveled the kiddos into the car. I had to make a quick stop at the store for mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. When I got back into my car, due to the fact that I had decided to let the dough finish rising in my car on the way down (it's a 45 min drive), it now smelled like a freaking bakery. Yummo!
We got to Hosanna's and the kids all ate strawberries with their pizza while we had the really tasty salad she made with spinach, fresh basil, and other really delicious, healthy things. Then we spent the afternoon chatting over top of the unbelievably loud and raucous children who were apparently having a blast running through the house. They even put on a play for us, which I will not go into too much detail about because, well, it didn't make very much sense. It was, however, very entertaining and Hosanna and I were in stitches watching it. There was also some Wii playing, movie watching, popcorn and popsicle eating, and even a little spider killing fun. Hosanna made a fun Easter garland from paint swatches and an idea from Pinterest, Jonathan kept taking his clothes off, and Zeb somehow managed to sleep through most of everything. We were there for 6 hours! (Hosanna is a gracious woman.)
Driving back home, the boys agreed that it was a way better day than if we had just stayed home and watched movies. It may just have been one of the best snow days ever!
