Cici's Pizza Rocks! (when you only have one kid)

So after coming home from two hours at the pool this afternoon, Micky actually took a 2-1/2 hour nap today! (Can I get an Amen?!). During that time I was able to put a third coat of paint on the boys' bookcase, a second coat on the legs of the end-of-bed table for the guest room, transplant some petunias, water the lawn, and pick out some 1940s patterns for a new project! Whew!

In celebration of this fact, when Micky came downstairs starving and screaming for cereal and goldfish (what, those aren't one of the food groups???) I informed him we could have pizza for dinner. Hooray!!! (yah, I know, not really a step up from cereal and goldfish.)

Had a coupon expiring tomorrow for a free adult meal, too, so "cha-ching!" got all our dinner and drinks for only $3.40. Now you tell me if that's not an awesome deal? On top of that, Micky eats three times the amount if food I do, and - what an angel - he ate all his pizza before even touching the brownie sitting on his plate.





Bonus: not one meltdown the entire meal. (okay, well a small one as we were leaving because Micky insisted on being the one to push open the two-ton door all by himself - but all things considered, that hardly counts. ;)

A fantastic end to a great summer Saturday!

Just a few things:
Amen! (to the nap)
Wow! (to how much you got done during the nap)
Congrats! (to a successful and thrifty dinner out)
And there is nothing wrong with cereal and goldfish (if you do find there is, please don't tell me because that's mostly what my youngest has survived on).
