Some Tuesday Fun & A Recipe!

It was amazing out today. Needless today say, we spend a lot of time outside. This is my favorite part about Tuesdays off... Getting to play with these little ladies. 


We had some breakfast, and jumped on our bikes to see what we could see, feel, and hear.




Some of our friends came with us. We couldn't just leave Brobee at home!

Baby Rosie Came with us too. Charlee was a great mom and was prepared with her bottle incase she got hungry.

One of the things we saw and heard were birds... So they girls tried to play tag with them

... and pigeon tag turned into sister tag



Jovee was stuffing her pockets with leaves. Yup. She's a 2 year old.

Charlee loves to love on Jovee.  She is such a sweet girl!

We played with some chalk in the front yard. Normally, in Phoenix, that sun would be miserable... but it was in the 50's today and it was GLORIOUS to bask in!

Here's our family! Charlee insisted Ricky wear a bow tie... Not sure how he feels about that!



We mastered the Hop-Scotch!



I love getting action shots with their hair all crazy





Jovee collected things she found through out our adventure in the trunk of her tricycle. She brought out each thing to give to her papa one by one.

We don't spend enough time playing in the grass with bare feet... it was amazing.

Charlee and I made some pizza rolls!

They turned out awesome and the girls ate ALL of them!!!


Pillsbury Crescent Pizza Rolls with Dipping Sauce

1 can of crescent rolls
1 Pack of large pepperonis
shredded mozzarella cheese
1 table spoon of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of melted butter

- preheat oven as directed on crescent roll package
- open, unroll and divide the crescent rolls
- starting with the smallest corner, lay out a pepperoni and sprinkle with cheese
- roll it up! and tuck in the corners
- melt butter and toss in the garlic
- top butter mixture on top of the pizza pockets 
- sprinkle cheese on top
- bake according to directions on crescent rolls... sometimes I have to give it an extra 3-5  minutes to cooke the bottom of the rolls
- bake ac


for the sauce:
Can of Crushed Tomatoes
Can of Tomato Paste
2 Tablespoons of minced garlic
Italian seasonings
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup of parmesan
(if you want... add a splash or too of white wine... I didn't do that for the kiddos but you can if you're making it for grown ups... its yummy)

- Over medium heat stir together all ingredients...
- put in a serving dish to dip :) (duh)


Feel free to leave out the cream/parmesan/mozzarella if dairy is an issue. I add it in after I've taken some sauce out for Jovee since she has a dairy allergy. Seriously Crescent rolls are the funnest thing ever! You can put, really whatever you want in them and they're delicious! 



We had an all out fun day! I am so blessed to be the mommy to these two sweet ladies. I love getting to explore the world with them and play together. Also, we've been praying about it and decided that we are going to jump in and home school the girls. It's something Ricky and I are SUPER excited about! Let the journey begin!

Sincerely,
Jen
