There aren't that many things that Greg gets excited about, so when one comes along, I really enjoy it. And Friday night was opening ceremonies of the Olympics, one of the things Greg REALLY enjoys!
So we surprised him when he came home from work with a sign, balloons, a gold medal for him to wear, and matching new shirts for us. I think Addie and I had just as much fun putting it together for him as he had in coming home to it.
I made Olympic pizza- using yellow pepper, zuchinnni, tomatoes, olives and red onion to make the olympic rings. Under it all was Canadian bacon, because, well, it was the only Canadian food I could think of. We've been eating very carefully for the last month or more to shed some pounds, so pizza- even veggie pizza- was a thrilling treat.
This is Greg's face when he found out we were having pizza. He liked the rings too. :)
And for dessert? Graham crackers, yogurt, and fresh fruit making more rings. I know, I'd already done it on the pizza, but I had tapped the depths of my creativity by the time I got to planning dessert.
The Kropfs joined us and we all enjoyed watching the opening ceremonies- more for the fun company and watching the parade of nations than anything else. Now Greg is happily enjoying the competitions!
