We made pizza the other day (one of S's favorite foods)! We used ready-made garlic naan bread as the "dough" and S had a blast making his own pizza for the first time. He did a great job spreading tomato sauce, sprinkling mozzarella cheese and placing the toppings (we used mushrooms, onion and italian sausage). It turned out super yummy! Making pizza is a fun and easy way to prep lunch with your little one! We'll definitely be doing it more often.

Have a wonderful weekend!

We had a blast scooting through Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve in Los Altos this past weekend. It was a perfect sunny day and we walked to the farm area and back. The little guy got to say hello to all the farm animals, chased around some squirrels and scooted up and down the hills while hubby and I took turns on the grown-up scooter. We love all the tree trunks and greenery around. It was a weekend of great company and beautiful scenery!

S's friends come over and play often, and like school, wherever there are kids, there are all kinds of germies. So a few weeks back I thought: "hm, I wonder if there is a kid-safe sanitizing spray for toys that I can use to clean the toys after kids come over and play?". I was on a mission to find something like that because it sounded so convenient, but alas, I couldn't find a thing! A lot of moms online suggested using a mix of water and white vinegar to sanitize surfaces and toys, and that was the best thing I found.

We're excited it's friday because this means daddy is coming home tomorrow! Before my husband went on his business trip, our bedtime story-telling routine had changed quite a bit. We used to just read books and tuck the little guy in, but recently, he hasn't wanted to read books, he wants original stories told by us. So mama and dada took turns telling stories each night. It really put us to the test because we had to be quick on our feet and come up with twists to make the stories interesting.

We did a couple of crafty things at home last week, the first is making a mask to go with Super S's cape. He loved it SO much even though he kept having to adjust it to see through the eye holes. I'm not sure felt is the best fabric to use for this, but we had some left over from the cape materials so we went with that. I think he felt even more super with the mask on, so he willingly posed for me as I snapped pictures. You'd be amazed how long a cape and a mask can entertain your little one!
