Guess who already has a snow day tomorrow? No, not Punky – she doesn’t go to school.
This 3rd grade teacher – who incidentally has a piece of mushroom in her teeth in this picture.
The other happy news?? I got a new camera today!! I’ve been saving up for months, and Meeker surprised me and ordered it last week. It came in the mail today. It was like Christmas when I came home from work…a snow day for tomorrow and a brand new camera to play with?! When I called my mama to tell her all the good news she exclaimed…oh double happy day!
So, most of the day I took pictures with my old camera, but dinner (and the 2 above photos) are from the new guy. I have SO much to learn about it, I can hardly wait.
Breakfast
Protein shake made with almond milk and chocolate protein powder + ½ a frozen banana. As an afterthought, I had a piece of millet bread with peanut butter and raisins as I was walking out the door.
Lunch
This salad delicious and was really only $3.99.
Plus a new (to me) kind of apple…
A pinova! It was delicious and crispy – almost like a sweeter gala. And yes, this picture was taken while my kiddos were in the room. It was about 2 degrees outside today, so we had indoor recess – which is when I ate my lunch.
Snack
Ezekiel sprouted grain wrap with peanut butter, cinnamon and raisins + another apple. I love these wraps – so grainy and good.
Dinner
Portebello mushroom burger – from the Engine 2 Website – my new favorite place for recipes. Meeker couldn’t believe he was eating a meatless dinner. Especially one that had the word “burger” in it.
But after a couple of bites, he said he really liked it, and if he had to go on a “vegetarian diet” – he would eat meals like this. I win.
And I was so excited about my new camera – I photographed and took a bite of my burger before I remembered to put the caramelized onions on top.
That’s better.
In the 3rd grade world…
Well, it doesn’t really get more exciting than snow days, however, this math project came pretty close.
She got an A+
What a smart little student; I’ve never been so proud of someone I don’t know.
Hahaha, LOVE THIS!
What kind of camera did you get? Yay for a snow day! With the amount of snow they’re calling for Chicago to have, we’ll have on on Wednesday… and possibly Thursday. I’m excited!!
I got a canon rebel…so far, I’m in love. And I’ll keep my fingers crossed for YOUR snow day – there is nothing better!
That is SUCH a cute project. I love the “just kidding” part.
knowing you have a snow day early is the BEST!
Wow, way to go student!!! I wish my FIFTH graders could explain their math like that! Way to go Teacher too!
You will love your camera!! I recently got the T1i and love it. You will love it for food photos, but even more for your lil’ babe coming!!
What a great math project! And your mom is too cute
Enjoy the snow day–how much are you guys supposed to get? We’re looking at 8-13 inches here.
Ha ha, what a cute one that last one was.
Congrats on the new camera! I could tell from the first photo right away. Have fun with it!
What an adorable math project!
Yay for a new camera and a snow day too! That’s a great day!
Yay for double happy days! And I love the burger photos- now I reaallly wish I had made that for dinner!
1. Your third grade has much neater handwriting than any of my third graders.
2. Even though we are out of snow days, I wouldn’t be upset if I got a phone call for one. We are supposed to get “snow lightening.” Whatever that is.
3. Yay for new cameras!
Yay for a snow day! I think I get to stay home tomorrow, but I’ll have to work. Eh. Have fun!
Yay for double happy days! That student is too adorable!
Aw that remainder project is TOO CUTE! I can definitely see why she got an A+
We in d.c. have a snow day too tmrw! Well, only if you work for the govt really, and it’s bc of some weird ice storm haha.. either way, I’ll stay in my pjs if given the option.
I’d have given that kid an A for sure!

yea douglas county for having a snow day love it!
That is really nice writing for a 3rd grader. Please tell me a parent, or older sister printed that.
I bought myself a new camera (Canon Rebel) as my Christmas gift to me and I am so in love with it. Best money I’ve spent in awhile.
Haha, nope that’s her writing! Most of my little girls have extremely nice printing. But we’re learning cursive right now and *holy cow* – I cannot read a single word of it.
you have such pretty hair! congrats on the new camera!
that is SO cute. you and babycakes both getting brownies. yum
I miss projects like those! Haha!
I actually saw that apple in the store too! I had to add it to my apple-names dictionary! Lol
I have nto tried it yet. I swear I am dead hooked on my Fugi and Honeycrisp apples. I. refuse. to. budge.
I don’t blame you! I’m pretty strictly a ‘gala eater’ – but this was so close, that I’m glad I tried it!
WHOA! thats quite impressive! so cute of your little student! these kids are smarty pants!
I have seen the engine 2 diet cookbook and it does look so great, lots of natural foods and delicious recipes!
I love, love, love your math student. Does that mean all pregnant ladies get two brownies? Ha! Enjoy your snow day.
What great photos of you and Punky! Hope you’re enjoying your double happy day!
That burger looks so good, especially with the onions. I’ll have to check out that website.
I live in the Denver area too and my sister is a teacher here. She was probably more excited about her snow day than the kids!
I love alfalfa sprouts on hamburgers/sandwiches!
That is an awesome day!!! And your math student is super cute!
Hooray for a new camera and for double the brownies!!
I’m SO happy for you for getting a very nice camera!! I remember how excited I was when I got mine. I’m sure you will have so much fun with it. =)
That math project is awesome, specifically the last part.
And I’m really interested in getting the Engine 2 book, thanks for the website!
Cute! I love “in the 3rd grade world”
