Pizza Day

Guess what? First Tuesday of the month today. That means that my dad, sister and I got to make our homemade pizza. We used to make it every Tuesday, but for the new year we took it down to once a month. But that makes it a lot more special to have.
Don't that look good? My father makes the dough from scratch (and not just buying the dough in a baggy from the store either. I'm talking right from the beginning, with making the yeast rise and the kneading and stuff), and my twin Annette and I put the toppings on.

Personally, I think Jacoby likes the look of our pizza. He wishes he could have a slice. But he lives in Utah, and I'm all the way down in Florida. So, unfortunately, he can't. More for me, then! Nyeh! (wipe off the drool there, buddy ^,~)

Sorry that neither of us have posted here in a while. But I know that Jacoby is most likely busy with his huge, mysterioso, 100 clues project. (Check his regular blog to get in on it.) So anyway, I don't put a lot of pictures up here since I don't have the best camera in the world and I don't take many pictures of familiar things. Familiar to me, anyway.

I just want to close with a pizza joke. It's only slightly long, but it's pretty funny. My Uncle Danny told it to me when my family and I went to Israel.

-------------------

So it's lunchtime at this school, and the cafeteria lady says, "Okay kids, it's Monday and today we're having pizza." And the kids get all excited and start pounding on the table, chanting "PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA!" And they get their pizza.

The next day the cafeteria lady announces, "Alright, today is Tuesday kids. Guess what we're having? Pizza." The children shout and bang on the tables again, just the same as Monday. "PIZZA, PIZZA, PIZZA!"

Wednesday the lady says, "We're having pizza today, boys and girls." And they chant "Pizza, pizza, pizza." Not so loud, but they're still excited.

The following day the cafeteria lady tells the children, "Well children, today is Thursday, so guess what we're having...? Pizza!" And the kids are no longer shouting, but they still chant, "P-i-z-z-a, p-i-z-z-a, p-i-z-z-a."

Friday the cafeteria lady makes an announcement. "Now, my dears, I hope you enjoy your lunch today. We've got... Pizza!" By now the children's chants sound long and drawn out.

"P--i--z--z--a, p--i--z--z--a, p--i--z--z--a."

And of course on Saturday and Sunday, the kids get the weekend off. But then it's Monday again and the kids walk in for lunch and there's the lunch lady. She says, "Okay kids, it's Monday and today we're having pizza." And all the kids in the room go...

"PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA!"

-------------------

What do you think? In my opinion it's a lot better when it's told out loud than reading it. You need comedic timing, you know. You have to use an increasingly slower voice as the kids get more tired of pizza, and then an excited voice when they get pizza again. That's the funny part.

Okay. That's all I'm saying now.

*Edit* I think you should change the background around now, Jacoby. Just my opinion. Also, I don't want to be the only one posting in my book club. I'm only saying.

Prez Fest Pics and Vids

I got to go to the President's Day Festival and it didn't rain again all night! I had such a blast! All the rides I went on with my sister were so much fun. It was an unforgettable night. I hope Jacoby doesn't mind me putting up a couple movies as well as pictures. Don't worry, they're really good ones.

This thing was called the Ring of Fire. Cool, huh? This is my kind of ride. It's a roller-coaster going in vertical circles. So much fun. We go on it every year.
After this ride, The Orbiter, was over, the strap-in guy offered to take our picture. Alright, pop quiz, to see how well you guys know me. Can you tell who's who between us twins? (Hint: what color are our clothes?)
Alright, so have you theme-park goers ever had an Elephant's Ear? I never had, until last night. Don't worry, it didn't come from an actual elephant. It's just fried dough and powdered sugar on top. I also shared pizza and fries with Annette. And we never threw up on the rides!

Alright, here's the first movie you'd enjoy. This is me riding a mechanical bull for the first time in my life. Have you ever done this? It's so exhilarating! I stayed on for a good 45 seconds too.
This is a picture of me after I rode the mechanical bull (see the sticker?) and after I was conned into throwing darts at balloons for $10. I won this stuffed penguin after all my trouble. I named him Prezley, after the President's Day Fest, or after Elvis Presley, whichever you prefer.

I wonder if this is good quality? We went on the Yo-Yo and Annette had it so easy that she decided to take a movie while she was on. It's almost as if you're riding with her!

This is the view you get of the entire festival at the top of the Ferris Wheel. That was the ride that the whole family went on. You can see the moon up there, right? It was yellow. I had such an awesome time at the Prez Fest. Probably the best I've ever had.

You won't believe this!

Yay! This is Bettina Levy speaking. This is my first ever post on J. N. Future Author's Picture Perfect. (Hi, Jacoby! ^,^ You can edit this out later. Just wanted to say hi.) I kept wondering what I would put up here as a first post and today I found the perfect candidate. It's a photo I just took today! See, my mom and brother came home from the farmers market and came back with a giant, prize-winning zucchini!

Here it is as compared to my own arm! That's a cubit.

It is SOOO big compared to Adam's sweet hamster, Hazel.

Look at that! It's like, 3 times as long as her and twice as thick. That is, in size, not in intelligence. Hazel is actually the brightest of all the hamsters we've kept over the years. She's so cute, isn't she?

Anyway, can you believe this is a zucchini? I thought it was a green squash when I first saw it! I wonder how we'll fit it inside the fridge!

(Well Jacoby, whaddaya think?)

Duo Authors!

I can't believe it! This blog is now duo written! ^.^ My friend Bettina and I had a trade off, I could post on her review blog if she could post on this one! ^.^ Thanks Bettina! I can't wait to write, and see things written!

Gabriel

My baby bro Gabriel.

You have no idea how hard it is to make a baby smile for a picture! most of the time he was rolling over, or crying. but despite all that I was still able to get some excellent shots!

I <3 my brothers ^.^
