Happy Wednesday!
grape nuts, shredded wheat, and raspberries
Isn’t that the cheeriest bowl of cereal? I thought so – and it tasted like a bowl of sunshine, too.
My lunch was the same thing it’s been each day since Monday. And it tastes good every time.
ww bagel toasted with mustard, spinach, and cucumbers
I got home from work, and remembered that I had the best husband in the world. He cleaned the bathroom (my least favorite chore) and made a crock pot full of buffalo chili for dinner.
I only had a little bit because it was so spicy that I was worried I might go into early labor. Not kidding…it blew my head off.
But it all worked out in the end because it was the perfect excuse to have a wineglass full of cookies ‘n cream ice cream to cool off my mouth.
Worked like a charm.
In the 3rd grade world…
We are studying US monuments and memorials in social studies. I had my kiddos design their own monument to honor a person or event in their life.
Most kids created a monument to honor a family member (or a dog), but this one was imaginative and made me laugh.
We honor Michael Jackson because we like pop. We also honor him because his songs are good.
Then the boys explained that this would be a wall (pink stairs on either side) with MJ’s famous black hat sitting on the top.
You have the best husband!! Tell him to remember if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!!!
hahaha! Chesley you are so funny!
I know i’ve said it before – but I absolutely love your Kiddo-Stories. They’re just SO friggin’ cute!
This made me miss my hubby being home so much, I love when he does sweet things like doing the dishes because I hate it.
Buffalo chili, yum!
Oh yum, that looks like the perfect dinner!
Your adorable kids never cease to amaze me. They are too cute.
Yummy buffalo chili sounds so good!!!
And that bagel looks awesome! I may have to try that tomorrow for lunch.
ice cream in a wine glass = best of both worlds!!
Haha, so cute!
Cookies N’ Cream ice cream is the best!
That little monument is too cute!
Hahaha I love that an 8 year old knows all about MJ and is already a fan!!
Michael Jackson was amazing. How creative those boys are!
Cookies n Cream = drool
Have you ever tried Trader Joe’s “Joe Joe’s” ice cream? It has also won my heart in the same way.
By the way, I have been wondering what kind of milk you use. You usually say coconut milk, but what kind? Sounds like a great taste for cereals.
Oh, I wish we had a Trader Joes anywhere in our state! The closest one is in Santa Fe, NM…a good 5 hour drive from here. I would love try that ice cream, though.
I use the “So Delicious” brand of coconut milk…but Silk also makes a pretty good one.
No Trader Joe’s is tough. But you are much closer to an In N Out Burger, which is quite a flight/drive for us here in MN – if you care for their burgers (excuse me while I drool).
I got some Silk Coconut Milk today and tried it with some Weetabix and dried fruits. I see why you keep having this for breakfast. Thanks for the inspiration!
hahaha omg the MJ honorable mention is amazing!
ok you got me craving grapenuts from reading your daily posts and I havent even had them in about 10 years! I used to LOVE them heated up!
I love the idea of eating ice cream out of a wine glass – it just seems festive.
Oh your students are so creative. That’s awesome. Love the helpful hubby and ice cream in a stemless wine glass. (genius)
Hahha I love that you didn’t ‘want to go in to early labor’… yes, spicy will do that to ya
Mmmm what a great, perfect excuse for ice cream, ha! I love eating it out of wine glasses, yum!
I love finding blogs of fellow teachers
Isn’t it crazy the stuff they can come up with? We wrote “If I had 100 dollars…” and one of mine responded “I would buy all of Michael Jackson’s clothes.” haha niiiice.
