Egg Pizza

For Easter, Mike and Carolyn gave Oliver and Adelaide a little kit to make egg pizza.  The kids were really excited about this project so a few days after Easter we got to work on our pizza.  

This project was Adelaide's dream come true.  One of the things she really loves is using her hands.  Her preschool teachers tell me that she spends most of her free time at the Floam table just feeling it and making things with it.  She could not hold herself back when the ball of dough was placed in front of her.
 Then, while Oliver was working on rolling out the dough and I was helping him, I look over and see that Adelaide has completely greased her hands with a stick of butter.  The butter was everywhere!
 Including in her suddenly greasy hair.  Yes, that is butter in her hair!  This look makes me smile because she has this funny look on her face, as if to say, "What?  Isn't what I'm doing normal? "
 While the cookie baked, Oliver worked on the frosting and I washed Adelaide's hair.
 We decided to turn our frosting into a purple color and then decorate with some pink frosting, jelly beans and M&Ms.

It was a really fun project that tasted delicious too!
