First Pizza With Cheese!

Home made pizza tonight with cheese was a huge hit! She loved it! I'm not surprised, these pizzas are legendary, made with ready dough from Trader Joes and rolled super thin, then first a layer of olive oil, tomatoes, four-cheese shredded blend and fresh mozzarella plus the glorious pizza spice from Penzey to top it off. And the best thing: she had no reaction!

Silly boy

So silly.

Liberry

Lucia's been asking to go to the library for a few weeks now, and I found out about their summer reading program so we planned a date. I took her to our local branch and signed up for a library card, then let her pick two books as the library dictates a trial run. For the summer reading program, she gets a sticker for every book she "reads." And when she gets right stickers she gets a prize. So cute. She came home and read her books already. We will take them back Saturday to get new ones.

The faces of Espen

He has a super expressive face. So fun!

Kindergarten

Welp, Lucia is going to kindergarten! This fall, instead of next. We looked at the cost of her continuing preschool AND baby care and it's insane. I was on the fence anyway; I felt like she was left out of her friends graduating and getting excited about kindergarten, but she wasn't getting a chance to.

And now she will. We enrolled last week and we'll hear back sometime this week (hopefully) for our school assignment. I've learned a lot about school ratings and scores (in a very quick time frame, gulp). While the school she will likely be assigned to scores a 9 out of 10, we've heard only really positive things about it, so we're excited and eager to see what happens. School starts Aug. 26. It's right down by Lake Merritt, so it's about 1.3 miles away. It's apparently a smaller school and intimate environment, so we think that might benefit us. Plus it's only 1.3 miles away from home, so that's good too.
