better luck next time

I was reading a friend's blog about how she is trying to create family traditions that don't have to do with holidays. And it got me thinking about how I want the same. We didn't have a lot of traditions in my family growing up outside of holiday traditions, but a 'few' is better than 'none'. So in my attempt to start one, I stole her idea of pizza and movie night. Everyone helps in the kitchen making pizza for dinner and then we all sit down with our meal and watch a movie. And for the most part it went off pretty good. Sydaleigh had a blast helping me cook, kneading the dough, playing in the flour, making a mess-all of that was a lot of fun. But the tradition pretty much ended there-after the pizza came out of the oven she was no longer interested and didn't want to eat it, said it was yucky ( she actually likes pizza, just a typical two year old thing to say), and we never even made it to the movie part because her friends were outside. So, I'll probably be putting the kibosh on this tradition and keeping my brain peeled for something else we can do.

very proud of her little ball of dough...

and very proud of her little pile of flour
