Whenever we have pizza, the kids love taking the leftovers to school for lunch the next day. Since I don't have a trapezoidal tupperware suitable for pizza slices, I started doing foil-gami over the leftovers. Over the years we've had bulls, kites, hearts, kids faces, and lots of other things. Pretty easy...all you need is some foil and a sharpie. Last night it finally occurred to me that this is an idea worth sharing! Duh.

My husband makes fabulous homemade pizza. He combines interesting toppings and they're often quite gourmet and delicious. Last night he dug through the fridge and ended up tossing this together:
 |
| Grape tomatoes, artichokes, BACON!, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh mozarella, and homemade basil pesto. |
The crazy city we live in does not do Trick or Treating on Oct 31. They do it the night before and call it Beggar's Night. I know, right. Who makes up these crazy ideas? Anyway, it ends up stretching out the event into a two-day fiasco, so on Beggar's Night we had this gourmet feast. (I needed something quick because....CANDY TIME!)

Ok, so I wasn't really Ultimate Mom this week and I never will be. But at least everyone showers daily. Just keep the bar low and it's all good.
We did go to a Halloween Party a couple of weeks ago and the four of us had a theme going on. You'll never figure it out. ;-)

Some cheap t-shirts and 2-yards of yellow felt. This years' costumes cost about $12 total. Perhaps instead of striving for Ultimate Mom, I should embrace what I truly am: The Frugal Fairy.
Besides, they LOVE having pancakes and eggs for dinner.
