The Root Family

So. Last post. Told you I was addicted to Pinterest. Which I am. Love it. Check it a dozen times daily. Good CAN come from it. Take "preschool". I have been working on daily alphabet activities with the boys for the last 8 weeks straight. 16 letters down, 10 to go (each letter gets 2 days). I PLAN on posting about everything we have covered. Just not motivated enough to delve into that right now. BUT. I will post about the Pinterest challenge I took part in. My friend's cousin decided that a Pinterest challenge was needed for those who waste away their day with pinning, not doing. So, in honor of the doing, I share with you some of the things I have done.
This morning I painted my nails. Toe nails, mind you. I do not do finger nail polish. Saw a bunch of fun ideas floating around on Pinterest but chose this one. Glitter tips. You can bet the hubby LOVED the combo of loose glitter and nail polish. Needless to say, our bathroom floor looks like the aftermath of a pixie accident.
At the very beginning of the week, I revamped some shoes. An idea that is EVERYWHERE on Pinterest. Took some old black strappy shoes with rhinestone buckles and turned them into something I would wear. Cut off the ankle straps, removed the buckles, and added a simple leather flower. And have received a BUNCH of compliments on them.
For the boys, I have used Pinterest regularly for "preschool". One of our letters this week was "O". Found a craft site that taught us how to turn toilet paper rolls into octopi. Found another pin for the most ridiculously adorable lunch idea - owl sandwich. The boys loved eating baby owls. Maybe we should make lunch fun more often...
I could do wonders with Pinterest. But trying to do much outside of our normal "preschool" pins is just an exhausting thought. For now, I will pin. And pretend that every idea that I pin will happen...
