I caved last night and went to the store to buy a 10lb.bag of grapefruit. I couldn’t get that sweet ruby red taste out of my mind.
I had two before bed last night, and one for breakfast this morning.
I also had a bowl of oats/nuts/granola
When I got to school, a sweet co-worker walked into my room with an apple for me! She read about my apple ration situation last night and was kind enough to bring me one from her stash.
(Thank you so much, Linda!)
I didn’t pack my lunch last night (whoopsies) so I ran to Sprouts to grab a veggie sandwich on my lunch hour twenty-minutes.
Every dang time I go to Sprouts, I ask for a sandwich without tomatoes – and they NEVER listen to me. Makes me so angry…I detest tomatoes on my sandwiches. Hate. I picked these off and put them in the trash, but there was some nasty/seedy residue left over. Other than that – it was good.
I ate it along with some sour cream and onion Pirate’s Booty.
Yum city.
Now I’m home and snacking…favorite kind of dinner. Happy almost Friday!
In the 3rd grade world…
My morning journal prompt today was: If I were president…
One student wrote all about how Bronco Bama should show people his birth certificate (which he spelled “sirtificit”) – because that’s what presidents should do. And if this boy were president, he would show his birth “sirtificit” to everyone he ever met.
Birth certificate issue aside, I think our president would be cooler if his name really was Bronco Bama.
haha!! I love how he thinks the president is Bronco Bama – that is too cute.
Brono Bama. That’s hilarious!!!!
My kids have been making up gadgets and writing commercials for them.
I especially loved the “Do Everything Grandma 5000.”
She cleans, cooks, takes care of your babies, and buys you everything you want. Plus she runs on car batteries.
Haha, the grandma 5000 – that is so creative! I love it. I forgot – what grade do you teach??
Ha! That’s hilarious. You have the best job spending all day with those little cuties.
We talked a bit about President’s Day today and I asked my students who the president is and one named our principal. Many of them really had no clue. We read a story about what the president does and even after that they really were only able to report that the president helps people….
Bronco Bama!! Too funny!!
I live in Alabama, so I think it’s extra cute
Hehe, Bronco Bama.
too funny! 
Oh gosh. The President’s nickname cracked up. It also made me laugh that this little guy knew about the current news going on–just goes to show kids pick up on a lot.
Kind of a Colorado spin on our prez… I like it! I wish I could send you a piece of the grapefruit I had a few nights ago. It was THE BEST grapefruit I have ever had. And I don’t even usually like citrus fruits that much but I am on a huge orange, grapefruit, lemon kick lately and I have no idea why… I swear, I eat like a pregnant woman.
haha, this kid is obsessed with football – so I’m sure he WISHES our president was named after our football team. Too funny.
And yes for citrus fruits! They’ve never been my faves either, but lately – I can’t get enough. No shame in eating like a preggo – they follow their cravings and that’s when the best food is eaten!
Happy Friday, Deane! Katie
hhaaaaahahahahaha! I’m totally going to start referring to him as Bronco Bama. That’s classic.
I love that we now have a cowboy as a president
PS – I LOVE pirates booty!
Little boys and their imaginations are priceless. I wonder what the president would think if someone called him Bronco Bama…
I love Pirate’s Booty!
Your kids are seriously just too funny.
Too funny!! Do you laugh at them when they do these things? I think it would be so hard not to just die of laughter! They’re so cute!
Oh man, my laughter depends on the kiddo. Some of them LOVE it when I laugh at them, but others are really sensetive about it. The “Bronco Bama” kid legitimately thought that was our president’s name – so I let it slide and didn’t laugh in his face. But I sure as heck went and told other teachers (and the whole blog world) about it ASAP!
HAHAHA. I love it!
Bronco…Barack-o… it makes sense.
AND that sandwich looks heavenly. even with the to-maters.
and to answer your question, I’m an electronic media specialist, so I work with the entire school, but most of my work is with 4th and 5th graders. I looove the Pre-K kids though!
hahaha Bronco Bama!! too cute!
i guess it is a preggo thing to crave grapefruit!! Hey when you crave it you CRAVE it and need it then, at least thats how my cravings work haha
I just found my new nickname for the prez. He should pitch that to Fox News, they’d get a kick out of it.
I’m the same way with lettuce on my sandwiches. LOATHE!
I’m with you on the anti-tomato-on-the-sandwhich train!
bronco bama, that is hilarious!
haha that’s so funny and you always have the yummiest looking food!
i love grapefruit too! and yes! you always have totally yummy looking good! so am curious as to where did you get your granola from or the brand, as i am still on a hunt for the granolas that look a lot like yours, really yummy and chunk awesome! or rather like the ones they sell at starbucks. i love the ones at starbucks but they are rather ex for a small packet. thanks
I actually made that granola…it was from Jessica (at How Sweet It is)- her pb granola bars. I just crumbled them up to make granola. Easy peasy. Good luck with your granola search!
Katie,
The perks of elementary school teaching are definitely found in children’s writing. I love stories from your classroom. I teach 4th/5th grade. When my kids aren’t being cute, I check out what cute things your kids have done.
Sarah
Hahahaha! That just made me LOL
Tooooooooooo funny!!!
