these yummy Pizza Pinwheels<\/a> for dinner, with great help from Analise.\u00a0 These are a guaranteed hit with everyone in your family.\u00a0 I used store bought pizza dough and spaghetti sauce, and I dipped mine in ranch.\u00a0 Everyone liked them.\u00a0 Well, truthfully, Josiah didn’t, but I think he’s being obstinate, so I’m refusing to admit that he didn’t like pizza in a roll.\u00a0 Just imagine all the rationalizing I used to coax him to eat it.\u00a0 I bet he’d eat it on a different day.\u00a0 And really, if his super-picky sister eats 2, there’s no legitimate reason he can have for not liking it.\u00a0 And he ate his cucumbers and tomatoes, so he did better than anyone else on the veggie front.\u00a0 Another small victory.<\/p>\nEveryone took their own dishes to the kitchen.\u00a0 Score one for mom… or rather, notch one off my to-do list.<\/p>\n

And the kids were in bed without whining by 7:30.\u00a0 Tired sweeties!\u00a0 (Except the tornado sirens brought them out a couple minutes ago.\u00a0 All’s quiet now, though.)<\/p>\n
Life is good.\u00a0 I’m a thankful mom tonight.\u00a0 It’s the little things!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I let the kids pull games out of the closet this afternoon.\u00a0 They played with them relatively peacefully, then put each game away before getting out another.\u00a0 Yes, there was heavy coaxing from me, of course, but I’ll still call it a small victory.
