Last night I got creative and let the kids make either a pizza or calzone, making and kneading the dough, spreading tomato paste, toppings, etc. We learned measuring and cooking, some of us learned patience (when I noticed tomato paste being scraped under the table and on a light pink shirt). So I'm thinking, this dinner is going to be fantastic! I also whipped up a pasta salad from a box...as a filler. During dinner the kids are beaming as we compliment them on their pizza. Moments later, I hear a spitting and gagging sound, and turn to see Ammon spitting out pieces of pasta salad. "Mom! I can't EAT that! It tastes like...like tires!" Josh and I cracked up, now come on...I can't make him eat tires! :) Funny.
And a word to the wise...if you're going to eat a bowl of cereal, toast, and a glass of milk, don't try to do an intense DVD workout right afterwards. Even if it's the DVD you ordered from Amazon.com that's taken forever to get here and you can't wait to get started. It's not worth it.

I love how kids are overly dramatic in their criticism of our meals. . .but tires, that made me laugh! As for working out after cereal and toast . . GAG, I can only imagine, take a break sister first, don't you know the rule about no eating 30 minutes prior to exercise!
Hee...hee...Ammon is a cutie! Just a thought though...how does he know what tires taste like? Hope you are doing good...oh yeah girl take it easy on your intense workout...:)
