School Pinterest Project #3

I pinned this one quite some time ago, but never got around to making it.  Actually, I've combined two different projects that I had planned.  We'll see if the second part works. 

Most of the pins describe this as a cookie sheet decorated with ribbon and the desired labels, but I found this silver magnetic dry erase board for about the same price.  I also used narrow decorative duct tape instead of ribbon so I wouldn't have to use glue.  (Plus, it can be changed if needed.). The magnets are just discs (from a pack of 52) from the craft department at Wal-Mart.  I used a chalk marker to write the numbers on them.  The locations were printed on address labels.  

At the bottom, the board has a place for push pins.  (I think it was designed to be the right side, but I turned the board.). I made this section for "nameless" papers.  We shall see if it holds them well enough.

School Pinterest Project #2

I modified this project just a bit.  I hate, hate, hate stopping class to discipline.  I decided it would at least be worth trying this out next year.

I saw the template for the "stop" sign on Pinterest and decided to put the procedure a student should follow on the back.  My labels turned out to be too big, so I mounted the signs on red construction paper.

I still need to laminate them, and they'll be ready to go!

School Pinterest Project #1

My name is Angie and I'm a pin-a-holic.  Until now, I'd only made one project other than trying out recipes.  This week, I've tackled 5 projects.  All of them aren't finished yet, so I'll save them for future posts, but here is one that is completed!

Using these items

I made pouches for my students to put in their binders to keep their tickets and passes in.  The duct tape not only makes the bag more decorative, but it also reinforces it and makes it harder to rip out of a binder.

Finished product!

The hard part was punching the holes.  I had to go to school and get my heavy duty hole punch!

Because there's no wrong way...

...to eat a cookie!

He's a boy after my own heart!  Just as I have quirky eating habits, Lincoln prefers his arrow root cookies one "peak" at a time!

Once an infertile...

Though I realize it so completely selfish of me, I still feel a moment of grief every time AF shows up.  Why is that, I wonder?  

I don't expect to ever be one of those women who gets to surprise her husband with the news of an impending family expansion, but there is just something about the arrival of AF that reminds me every time.  

*sigh*

Now I have a 10 month old to catch up with...

9 month check up

Lincoln and I ventured to the doctor's office this morning for his 9 month checkup.  (Never mind that it was over two weeks late!). My big guy is growing, growing, growing!  

9 month stats:

Weight- 21 pounds 10 ounces

Length- 29 inches

Loves "fixing" toys, Mickey Mouse, watching "Little Einsteins", and moving fast.

Has 4 visible teeth with more on the way...

Crawls with one knee on the floor and the other leg ready to sit up at will...

Pulls up on furniture...cruises around the ottoman

Is a people watcher...

Here he is sporting his bandaid after a thumb stick this morning.

I love this little (big) guy so much!
