Today we went to a friends house for a play day and the children had a go at making their own pizzas ~ we cheated slightly and bought the bases ~ but the children added the tomato puree and the cheese and chose their toppings.
Here are Dan and Lauren at the very start ~ with their pizza bases ~ ready to get started!! Lauren piling on the tomato puree ~ lucky she is a tomatoey kind of girl ha ha !!!
Daniel adding his cheese and other toppings....
Lauren with her finished pizza ~ she ate every last piece ~ so it must have been nice!!
Dan chose sausage and salami ~ he doesn't like peppers or tomatoes ~ so no 'healthy' toppings for this boy ha ha !!!!!
There were 8 children who made pizzas in total ~ I have 5 to look after this week (including Dan and Lauren) and my friend has 3 ~ so it was slightly hectic at times ~ but the children all did a great job and had alot of fun too!!
Tomorrow we are going to have a go at getting the children to make a chocolate brownie tray bake and then let them decorate it once it has the icing on ~ we have bought smarties and jelly tots and some chocolate sprinkles ~ so that should be more fun for them.......last time we attempted a cake make and decorate session ~ the children ate most of the sweeties before we managed to get them on the cakes ha ha !!!
Half term is going really well and the weather has been dry and suprisingly mild ~ so that has helped as the children have been able to get out in the garden and burn off some excess energy!
There was no weigh in for me this week ~ as the session was being held at lunch time (for some unknown reason!!) and obviously with 5 children that was just not possible to attend! It is back to the usual time in the evening next week ~ so I will hopefully have a good report for you ~ of at least another pound having upped and left! According to my scales I have lost weight this week ~ but the scales at the weigh in are more accurate ~ so I will wait until next week before I comment tee hee!! I am very nearly where I want to be ~ and this last week I finally managed to fit into a size 10 pair of jeans (not sure what size that is in the US and Australia etc !!) ~ which was what I originally wanted to achieve......BUT ~ I know what I am like ~ I reach one goal and then set myself another ~ I think that I will shift a few more pounds and then get some serious toning up done ~ as believe me ~ those days of things 'pinging' back into place after losing weight ~ are LONG GONE!! Tee Hee!!!

Good for you Tabitha about getting in to your size 10 jeans. That's great!! I went to Weight Watchers to be weighed in today and finally started losing the holiday weight I put on. Still more to go but at least it's a start.
The pizzas looked really good. Your kids are so adorable too!!
Much love from NJ,

Those pizza's look yum ~ Dan's looks really nice and i'm starving LOL!!
It must have been hectic at your place, i can't (and don't want to) imagine what it was like LOL!!!
Size 10 ~ great!!!! You must feel just great about that.
My goal was to get into a 16, now my 16 is stating to get a little slack. But i will be happy being a size 14 ~ the last time i was a 10 i was at primary school :D
Hope the rest of the holiday goes smooth.
Love,

How fun!I always loved any type of "cooking" and decorating desserts as a child.
AhhhMannnn!!LOL...I Want PIZZA NOW!!!Hahaa...Sweet pictures!!!hughugs
I am so impressed with all of your weight loss. I always lose a few pounds and then packed them right back on.
You continue to do great on your weight management! Kudos to you, gal!
Glad the kids had fun with the pizzas. Clever idea to get them involved in the food making!
Personal pizza making. It sounds like a pretty good idea to keep eight children engaged.
Best wishes on the weeks weight loss. And I have to be honest here, I have always hated Professional Scales and their blankety blank, accuracy.
Looks fun and Yum!
Looking after 5 kids and actually getting out to visit?
You are a star girl...
Hey best pizza dough ever and easiest is
Sr flour and natural yogurt mixed till a dough forms...The Best!
How much fun is that? Good choice on getting a pre-made base--we did this for my younger daughter's party and I spent all day getting the dough ready. A total pain!
You have really cute kids!
yum!!! the pizzas are making me hungry, tabitha. food crafts are the BEST:P i hope the brownie decorating went well, too:)
love,
dani
