It’s raining, it’s pouring…
Go figure that the weekend I am keeping my brother’s 3 kids it POURS the entire time. We did get a nice long romp in the park yesterday, but had to sprint home in the rain. It hasn’t stopped. I had my heart set on going to the pool today. I whined at Meeker this morning as he was leaving for work at 5am…
“What are we going to do!? I want to go to the pool!”
He calmly replied “You’re a teacher, I’m sure you’ll figure something out”
Oh yeah, I work with kids as a profession. I tend to forget during summer that I can’t whine like a 5 year old, I have to be in charge of the 5 year old. And the 7 year old, and the 1 year old. Speaking of which…
The 5 year old – Ellie
The 7 year old – Sydney
The 1 (almost 2!) year old – Easton
We made pizzas yesterday; it was floury, messy, yummy fun.
Trying out the (vegan) dough…
We also tried some baby bell peppers to see if they would go well on the pizza.
The kiddos took these pictures…
The verdict: kind of good…but a no go for the personal pizzas.
All three passed on the veggie options (spinach, peppers, broccoli) and went for the plain old cheese and turkey pepperoni. A classic.
Yum.
Almond milk is good, too.
For the grown-ups.
I had a slice, and then we played in the rain…
Giggles.
Right now, everyone is still sleeeeping, but I’m sure it will get lively in a few minutes. I’m thinking pancakes for breakfast…I’ll be back with some rainy day updates!
Yum! What a fun time; is there any way pizza could fail to be pleasing?
Toooo fun!!! Great photos….. You’ll be getting even more creative on this rainy cool Saturday. Have a great time!
We love you guys..
Playing in the rain is the best! I’m sure you’ll come up with something to entertain ‘em
Girl you certainly have your hands full. I used to be a dance teacher to kids ages 3 and up and I always took the Summer off just as the kids did with school. But it was funny how when I would baby-sit some of my friends kids and completely blank for a minute on what to do with them. I kept thinking, teach them ballet, oh wait, it’s the Summer, there are other things we can do besides learn how to dance. haha
Oh no! Bummer about the rain but I am definitely sure that you will think of something. You are the most creative person I know in your classroom!
Aww they are so darling! I love the picture of them rolling out the dough.
You can never go wrong with pancakes! … or with pizza for that matter.
Thy too funny that you forget you’re a teacher. Pancakes and Sundays go together like pb&j!
Awwww…those kids are too cute for words. What a fun way to keep them entertained too…I would have loved doing that when I was little!
SUCH cute kids!! Have a blast with them :0)
I am sure that you and the kids are going to have fun no matter what the weather. I remember being little and loving going to my aunts and uncles houses simply because they werent my parents and always made sure that I had the best things to eat!!
AWWW HOW FUN!! pizza making is the BEST when you are a kid!
the kids are adorable. and seems like you’re an amazing aunt, pizza making was definitely so much fun for them!
Personal pizzas? What a marvelous idea. The kids look as if they’re having an absolute *blast*!
awww those kids are so cute! i bet they had a blast making a pizza with you!
CAN I JOIN IN!! haha so fun!! <3 what a great way to spend time with the little ones too
Ooh making homemade pizzas is a great thing to do on a rainy day. I am impressed that they went for the vegan dough, it must have been really tasty! Cute kids too
Aww, such adorable kids!! I remember making pizza when I was little…such a fun (but messy) activity! The “grown-up” one looks delicious. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
Your nieces and nephew are adorable! And what kid (or adult for that matter..) doesn’t like pizza?!
I know I am craving it now… 
Hey,
gosh those kids are adorable and I bet you’re a fun aunt to be around.
You’ll find something to entertain them with I’m sure. How about some fun activities where y’all can move around or maybe an indoor pool??
I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures of your fun activities!
Awwww – the kids look adorable!
I´m just so sorry it´s raining so much :/
Kids are meant to have fun in the sun!
Wish you a lovely week, Katie!
