End of School Year Fun

Pajama/Sundae Party

Morgan's class had a little party one of the last few days of school and the teacher invited Blake to come too. He had a BLAST! He's going to think every day of preschool is as neat as that day was. ;-)

Snack time 1st thing....the program has to provide a snack and ice cream doesn't count.

Play time! Blake fit right in and played with all the kids just like he was one of them.

Playing Alphabet Bingo. (Morgan had to leave for a vision screening...)

They went to another room and watched a movie, then came back for the ice cream!

YUM!!

Finishing the day on the rug singing some fun songs. :-)

Bowling/Pizza Party!

Morgan's teachers also planned another party for the day after their last day of school at the bowling alley. (Morgan's teachers really are the best...couldn't have asked for better!!) The students' bowling and pizza was paid for, but the families had to pay for their own if they wanted anything....luckily another little girl didn't want to bowl for a while, so Blake got a chance to try it out and they had plenty of pizza for him too :-)

They really are best friends :-)

Morgan helping Blake get his ball down the lane.

She's looking pretty proud of that one! :-)
I'm kinda sad Morgan is done for this year and is moving on to kindergarden where she'll be in school ALL day. She seems excited though. It turns out that after a failed vision screening and a trip to the eye doctor that she needs glasses, so she'll be starting the school year with those too. Blake gets to experience all the preschool fun (hopefully not the glasses part) in the fall and he can't wait! I think he's most excited about making a bunch of friends :-)

Pepperoni Pizza Muffins

I had been craving pizza for quite a while recently. I kept hoping someone would want it around Christmas time, but no one did. I hadn't had it (except for a couple frozen pizzas) since sometime before my trip to Germany. I seriously can't even remember when! So lately anytime anyone said the word 'pizza', an ad came on the TV, anything, it made me want it even more! Finally, Rich and I ordered a couple from a local pizza place and I'm good now. The pizza was very satisfying and my craving is gone, but while I was still craving it, I had seen a recipe for Pepperoni Pizza Muffins that sounded delicious. I still wanted to try them, though, so I made them this morning!

Pepperoni Pizza Muffins

• 3 cups biscuit/baking mix
• 1 can condensed tomato soup
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup diced pepperoni
• 2 Tbsp chopped ripe olives
• 1 Tbsp dried mince onion
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Place biscuit mix in a large bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients; stir into biscuit mix just until moistened. Fill greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350 degrees for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: 14 muffins.Rich and I tried them and I love them! He still likes the Onion Cheese Biscuits better, but since I do the baking, we'll probably end up with more Pepperoni Pizza Muffins again before the Onion Cheese Biscuits :-) I think I'll try them with mushrooms and green pepper next time too, because you can add anything that you like on a pizza to the batter!
