Weirdo Kid

Hmmm. One of my weirdo kids decided they had to create and sleep in this contraption. And yes, there is a sleeping weirdo in there.  LOL.

Rummage Sale Scores

My son's school had a rummage sale. We arrived close to the end when they had a $5 fill-a-bag special. As it so happens, I come from a long line of gifted bag stuffers.

I crammed into a little plastic grocery bag:

Three boys' long sleeve shirts
Two pair girls' short shorts
Two pair girls' jeans
One girls' yoga pant
Three girls' summer tops
Four girls' long sleeved tops
One girls' summer dress
One girls' summer skirt
Two adult women's sweaters
One women's dress

Shoes were not part of the deal. They were two pairs for $5. The boots are a great find, the sparkly shoes are cute but not well made.

FREE Pi Day Celebrations

Pi Day (not pie day) comes around every March 14th at 1:59 pm  This is the calendar representation of 3.14159...  While this is a great time to bring out your inner (or well hidden) math geek.  It's an even better time to get your kiddos involved in some fun math action.

MoMath museum has fun stuff planned at the museum and across the street at Madison Square Park.

LES Girls Club also has activities from 1pm to 3pm. College students from Bucknell University have been in town celebrating Pi Day with the girls since Wednesday. The event culminates with three activities today.

DIY Waterproof Matches

Done.

Homemade Pizza

One of the very few meals my family  universally enjoys that I make is pizza. Usually I buy flat bread, pitas, or even premade pizza bread like Mamma Maria's. But lately, I've been making my own pizza dough (as well as tortillas) and they come out excellent.  And, by making it myself, I use only healthy ingredients like whole wheat flour and no hydrogenated oils, lard, or preservatives.

I also used my homemade spaghetti sauce and chopped up, frozen veggies (purchased on sale).  These factors make this low cost meal even less expensive. I also pared the pizza with some salad.

They may look funny,  but they are so yummy!!!
