Skippity doo-dah. I love starting a week that’s going to be short!! Tomorrow is already the middle of the week! I started off this morning rather grumpy (my house was dirty, and that always puts a damper on my enjoyment of mornings), but after some exercise and breakfast (eaten in my clean car), I was feeling perkier.

Chia seed pudding (minus the walnuts in that recipe) with banana slices
At 11:20 I stood outside in the sunshine for recess duty, which lifted my mood considerably. Then my lunch pushed me right over into blissful.
Maple almond butter

Plus a baked sweet potato

Aaand I just realized I forgot to take a picture of the final product – I only had 10 minutes to eat lunch, so I guess I spaced it. Trust me, it was pretty fantastic. And get ready to smile really big…

I saw this apple sweater on Etsy the other day and just HAD to buy it. My pink lady is wearing a sweater. It doesn’t really get better than this.

When I got home, I tried a new melon for snack.

It was okay…a lot like a cantaloupe, but not as flavorful. I probably won’t buy it again.

The almonds/pecans were as good as ever, though.
Dinner was semi-homemade. And yes, I just rinsed out the melon bowl.

Pad Thai

I bought this sauce the other day, and then today combined it with ½ a sweet potato, tofu, broccoli, asparagus, and rice noodles. Oh and a dollop of peanut butter on top. Yum city.
Now I’m about to make tacos for Meeker! It’s taco Tuesday, but I wasn’t feeling it. When you want pad thai, you’ve just gotta have it!
Have you ever bought anything on Etsy before? I just found it a few days ago, and I’ve already spent $35 on miscellaneous items like “apple sweaters”…it could be dangerous.
In the 3rd grade world…
Another good tattle-turtle entry, albeit, a little blurry.

Zach is making his face get really red.


Just when I thought I’d seen it all…an apple sweater. Too funny.
Adorable!! I need a sweater for my pink ladies too!! So cute!!
Oh my God, an apple sweater. HOW do people not think of these things sooner?!
Oh that is TOO cute! I want an apple sweater!
Etsy looks like trouble!!
Love that apple sweater! It’s too bad that my mom retired from teaching, she would’ve loved that!
I’m in love with your apple sweater – even better you’re a teacher. For reals.
Holy God I neeeeeed that! Well maybe not need… I think it’s best I don’t click on that link!
OMG I just about died looking at that apple sweater. Too funny.
I love Justin’s nut butter! I have a bunch of his squeezey packets at my desk in my office. Now if I can just muster up the courage to bring my beloved sweet potatoes into work like I want to, we can really be lunch twins.
Have a good night!

I’ve visited Etsy a few times awhile ago but I haven’t bought anything. Maybe I need to take another look? Everyone needs an apple sweater!
That apple sweater is like the cutest thing ever, sorta like a tea cozy for apple…too cute!
I love Etsy, it can be dangerous though…I am always tempted by the earrings and the art.
Hehe, that apple sweater is TOO cute!
I agree with Chelsey – it fits perfectly with your job!
My friend has an etsy shop but I’ve never bought anything from there. I can’t believe someone came up with apple sweaters!
Omfg. That apple sweater just kills me – keep on rocking it lady! I haven’t started Etsy-ing yet, but that’s because I truly fear for my wallet book once I start!
Apple sweater is one of the most cutes things I’ve ever seen
Gotta get one myself
I have to check that site out!
that apple sweater is TOO cute for WORDS!!
Ha! That apple sweater is freakin awesome! In fact, Etsy is awesome. Google Etsy Steampunk…they have some killer jewelry made out of clockworks
I love your apple sweater! so cute
Ha, ha. Love that apple sweater!! It’s the perfect teacher gift and now I want to get my friend one!
LOL that is adorable! I cracked up when I saw that Pink Lady sweater…oh, the things people come up with
An apple sweater!!!! I’m so having my mother in law make me one of those
Ha! I have two packets and I was trying to come up with a tasty way to use them other than on toast or something-perfect.
I have heard of Etsy but refuse to go over there because I would end up spending $35 on things I didn’t need either. Like apple sweaters…..but that is about the sweetest little thing I’ve seen!
I want an apple sweater!! So cute!
I’m in a bad mood when my house is messy too, and my car is almost always messy – which doesn’t help.
The pad thai looks fantastic!
I hate when I but I cool fruit and it ends up flavorless! I get that with carrots sometimes, is that odd?
anyhow, never bought anything on Esty, an maybe its for the best. Beside, I bet a could knit a cute apple sweater myself.
I need a nectarine sweater (we’ve got some serious brusing issues today). PS the tattle turtle make my day!
I love the apple sweater! Thats adorable.
And that little note, too cute! I love the things kids say. I used to sit in my moms classroom marking their work and laughing to myself. It was one of my favorite things to do.
WHY OH WHY do children make their faces go red? I swear they will do it until they pass out!
That apple sweater is absolutely adorable! That pad thai looks amazing, I really want to eat it! Yum with a capital Y. xx
That apple sweater is so cute! Your pink lady is looking very ladylike…
PS – Your breakfast looks REALLY good!

I love the apple sweater! That is the cutest thing ever!
OMG. That apple sweater just made my life!
That apple sweater is adorable – and functional! I always hate throwing a washed apple in my bag to slosh around with pens and dirty books and things. This will keep it clean! Which etsy seller did you get it from?
At least it wont get bruised with it’s sweater on.
What a great little apple outfit!~!~
Oh man is someone making their face get red was my biggest complaint of the day it must be a fabulous day! I absolutely adore etsy. I even have an app for it on my iphone. Yes. Addicted. I am it.
Isn’t that the truth?! Sometimes I want to be 8 years old again.
