..been a Pinteresting day!

With school creeping up, I'm shoving as many of those "I'll do it during the summer" to-do's in now! (<--That sentence makes sense, right?)  This morning, I got up and looked at my fro hairdo (note to self: quit going to bed with my hair wet!!) and decided to try one of my MANY 'hair' pins from my pinterest board.  These will also come in handy when school-days roll around.  Think I pulled it off pretty well-if I do say so myself!  Pretty easy too!

After making myself a little more presentable (what am I going to do when I have to start wearing makeup again???), I convinced myself to organize Clark's closet and dresser, and then I headed to Grace's room.  I cleaned out her closets/dressers with all those outfits that don't seem to fit her anymore.  Always a sad day! :( My baby is growing up!  Now, for another trip to 'Once Upon a Child' for a few extra bucks.  It felt very refreshing to get that chore out of the way.  

After hanging out by myself- organizing closets, I needed some 'fresh' air.  I've been putting off a trip to school, but I went ahead and loaded some things and headed up there.  I planned on just dropping off my things and high-tailing it out of there!  Should've known better...  I sat up there-in the heat- and cleaned out drawers and started to organize my classroom.  

Two hours later, I was feeling wiped so I stopped by the store (for another Pinterest idea) and then headed home.  I have had this pin for a while, but I have had plenty of 'Diaper Genie' refills up until now.  A few of my friends have mentioned that this works, so you can imagine how pumped I was considering how stupid expensive those bag refills are!  I was a little skeptical because I don't have a 'Diaper Genie'--I have the -much cheaper-knock off- version.  It didn't work quite as well, but I can definitely rig it to make it work!  Especially...since I'm about to be doing double time in the diaper department!

For lunch, I tried out two of my food pins from Pinterest, and last night for dinner, I made a recipe! Check 'em out and try them yourself if you think they look good!-->

LAST NIGHT'S DINNER:
-Baked sweet potato with Almond Butter & Cinnamon
-Grilled onions & boneless pork chops
-Steamed broccoli & artichokes
(I have to brag about the fact that Grace ate all of it up!!  Steamed broccoli is one of her favorite foods. Weird, I know!)

TODAY'S LUNCH:
Egg Salad with Triscuits
(Check out my pinterest board for full recipe)
I've done this recipe before, but it's always a big hit in our household!

Courtesy of Patsy, I tried out a little dessert/snack that I think Grace will love!  They turned out really well. 

*Now, don't get me wrong, these are no Oatmeal Raisin cookie--but definitely a great, healthy alternative!

I had to make a small batch of 'raisin-less' for Mike!

I think I deserve some serious credit for the healthy food pins I've made--because there are MANY unhealthy options to choose from!  

HOWEVER... today is MIRACLE TREAT DAY at Dairy Queen!! For every Blizzard bought, $1 will be donated to a local Children's Miracle Network Hospital!  Mike and I will definitely be doing this tonight--we have to think of the children!  ;)

S'MORES BLIZZARD TREAT?  Yes, please!

I am happy with how a lot of my pinterest projects have turned out-- including all my nursery projects!  Now...with school coming up, here are a couple ideas I have my eye on!

To use for CONTENT OBJECTIVES & DAILY GOALS?

Can you say Dollar Store?!

Have everything I need for this!  

This looks way better than what I have going on now!

I also love this picture because it is the story of my life! With 30 students in my little classroom, this will be my pregnant belly and me  ---hopefully not knocking students up-side the head! :(

Patsy informed me the Carter's is having a sale (online, I think).  Well, any time I plan on going to Carter's, I always hit up the outlets.  They were having a storewide 40% off sale.  Can you say self control!?  Grace needs a few winter items, but I'm not sure what to even get Clark at this point.  I have a little bit of clothes, but I also don't know what I'm going to get from showers or my wonderful friends/family???  I have to say that I don't have that great of self control... Since my due date is beginning/middle of October, I just had to pick up a little Halloween outfit! ;)

In closing...I just have to say Go Rangers!  They have been rocking it lately and are a lot of fun to watch!  Hopefully, they can keep up their momentum without Nelly.  Leonys is on a roll and Beltre is my hero!  Nothing makes me happier than watching them beat the Angels!  Josh who?

AND..I do have to say- my friend, Jennifer, mentioned something about Jurickson Profar being like JP from 'Angels in the Outfield'.  OMG--that's all I can think of every single time I watch him play!  He's even about the same age as JP would be today.  "Hey! It could happen!"
