 Kalin and Emma created a lovely chocolate fruit pizza.

 Double fruit pizza... I knew I became a home ec teacher for a reason.  I did some lunges while holding 10 kg of flour to make up for my indulgences.

 Heaven and Shamara made a delicious vanilla fruit pizza.  I would know, I had a piece.

 Kenzie and Taylor designed a beautiful fruit swirl pizza.

Shawna and Ashley chose not to be photographed with their pizzas.  Ashley is probably still laughing about letting me lick the same spatula Kalin had already licked; do not trust that red head.

 Siobhan and Gabby went for a grape explosion in the middle of their pizza.

 Lauryn and Kiley used their fruit pizza to share love... literally.

 Heidi casually slipped into the lab just as the girls were putting the finishing touches on their pizzas.  What a nice coincidence...

Abi and Taryn tried to look creepy behind their baking.  I'd say they nailed it. 

Replace Olympics with first day of school and this is me.

 I went to a roller derby boot camp this weekend.  It was tons of fun and I learned a lot.  Hopefully I can remember it all and put it into action next weekend at my bout.  I played in my first scrimmage and really leveled some girls.  It felt so great!  Unfortunately I spent more time in the penatly box than I would have liked to.  I think the refs just liked calling out Becka the Wrecka.  I don't blame them.

 Sophie started crawling a little bit today!

Sr volleyball try outs start tomorrow at 6:30 in the gym.  Come prepared to sweat.  We're playing for keeps this year.
