Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

*****************************

I did NOT go to the doctor this week and come home with a vial of medicine and a bag full of syringes. I do NOT feel even more like a druggie with all the new and different meds that are constantly being added to my list! When it came time to give myself said medicine with one of the {SUPER scary} syringes, I did NOT sit and hold the syringe for at least 30 minutes before I could muster the nerve to actually inject the medicine! Before that, I did NOT call my pharmacist to get more detailed instructions on how to actually use the syringe.

We did NOT go car shopping this week! I am NOT SUPER excited that I may be getting my very first NEW car in the next few weeks. We have NOT pretty much decided to go with a 2010 Honda Pilot! I am NOT really looking forward to having a car that is reliable and BRAND NEW!

On Saturday, I did NOT accidentally give Grant Henry's clothes to wear and give Henry Grant's clothes to wear! I am much more observant than that, and I would definitely notice if my children were wearing each other's clothes. It would NOT take 4 hours and Grant saying "Momma, I'm wearing Henry's shirt" for me to notice that they did in fact have on each other's shirt. The shirts that they were NOT wearing also did NOT have both of their names written across the front!

Grant {NOT} wearing Henry's shirt!

Eli is NOT officially a walker! He is NOT growing up way too fast....and walking everywhere SUPER fast too! This weekend he did NOT really enjoy his new found freedom in the backyard! I am NOT a little excited that now we can spend more time outside and I won't have to worry so much about him eating every piece of grass and dirt from the ground!

SUPER Spaghetti

Spaghetti is one of our favorite meals. The boys love it because it is yummy, and I love it because it is quick and easy to make! It is also a pretty healthy meal {lots of veggies in just a little bit of sauce}...especially when I add in a few extra things to make it SUPER Spaghetti!

Our SUPER Spaghetti has:

Extra Lean Ground Beef

Organic Ragu Spaghetti Sauce

Regular Spaghetti Noodles

{the wheat ones just don't taste as good...and the boys can tell the difference!}

and a few tablespoons of Ground Flax Seed Meal!Eli really enjoyed his first taste of SUPER spaghetti!

And he even liked it for lunch the next day too!

Crafty Way to Organize for School

I got this SUPER cute and SUPER organized idea from my blog friend Kelli...who actually got the idea from this blog!
********************

I figured with Henry starting Kindergarten and Grant starting Preschool, we are going to have a ton of school papers coming home every day! So this is my attempt to get organized and have everything in one place. First, I gathered my materials. I bought some {color-coded...Henry=blue, Grant=green, Eli=orange} folders at Walmart for 15 cents each. And I printed out each of the boys initials on some notecards that I already had.
I cut out the letters in a SUPER cute star shape.
And used my circle cutter to makes circles out of some left over cardboard.
I used double sided foam tape to attach the letters to the cardboard circles, and then I used hot glue to attach the circle to the front of the folder.
I used some SUPER cute stickers to finish writing out each of the boys' names on the folders.
Now all three boys have a SUPER cute color-coded folder {even Eli...you know just in case he has some baby work to do}!
I added some SUPER important school papers...lunch menu, newsletter, and teacher's notes!
And placed the SUPER cute and SUPER organized folders in my filing shelf in the kitchen.
I think {HOPE} this may be the beginning of a very organized school year for us!
