cloudy with a chance of pizza

I don't find much time to blog about all the crazy happenings and funny things that come out of my kids' mouths,  (heaven knows we're not lacking for stories in this crazy home)  but I really wish I would write some of the silly things down more often.  So without further ado;  a story from this morning!

To set the scene, our house has been pretty chaotic for the last three weeks.  Stephen has been working late hours and he's started teaching another class at UNI for the spring semester.   There have been at least three nights out of the week over the past 3 weeks that he hasn't been home until after the kids are in bed.   This has made it extremely difficult to stay on top of the cleaning and errands that need to be done, as I've just been in survival mode.  Oh yeah...have I mentioned that we've only had one vehicle for quite some time now?  We haven't had a full refrigerator or cupboards in a while....and even if I could muster up the ambition to bring my three small toddlers to the grocery store,  I don't have a way to get there during the day and our grocery store closes at 9pm.  Ok,  I'm not whining.  Just setting the stage for our morning :)

I once again wanted to get to the grocery store last night, but Stephen wasn't home until 8:00 and I couldn't make it in time.   This morning we were at an all time low for food.  I was struggling to figure out what to put together for the kids for lunch.  Stephen happened to be working in the area this morning, so I called and asked if he could stop by the store and grab something for lunch for the kids before he left for Waterloo.  He said that he'd grab a frozen pizza and leave it on the front step so he could get on the road asap.  I heard a knock at the door and thought he had changed his mind and decided to come inside.  I told Grady to go open the door, so he ran to the door and found a bag.  

"Moooommmm!!!  I found a PIZZA!  It dropped.  It got dropped by the sky!!!!!!  I found it!!"  Then Ella joined in, chattering away about the pizza that dropped from the sky.   I haven't laughed so hard in ages.  Oh, to be a kid and actually believe that a frozen pizza in a Fareway sack dropped out of the sky.  I just played along and we had a magical lunch time :)
