Exit: White Cheddar Cheese Ball Snacks. Enter: 14 lbs of homemade laundry detergent. Greta wanted one of those cool apothecary jars like the original Pinterest posting for the homemade detergent. However, since we spent an entire morning locating the ingredients for the soap, there wasn't time for another shopping outing.
If you know Gavin, you know that hauling around a monster container of snacks--in this case said cheese balls--throughout the house is his mantra. For the remaining few balls, he will have to carry around a zip-lock bag, because the container is now the new home of a year's supply of laundry detergent. We highly recommend this Pinterest idea. It really did only cost about $20.00 and is suppose to last at least nine months. The laundry came out very clean and the smell is Pinvigorating!
Good thing the laundry detergent has such a pleasant aroma because the smell of making deviled eggs left us all wondering who "let one go?" Another Pinterest idea: using a zip-lock bag to mix the "deviled" part of the eggs.
It is truly a Pingenious idea. The ingredients easily blend together. The best part: snip the corner with a pair of scissors and squeeze the contents into each shell.
A Sprinkle of paprika and, in Steve's words, deviled eggs are the original "poppable food." Pincidentally, Greta's neighbor wasn't Pinpressed.
Greta has a bay window that was screaming "window seat!" So we found some cute fabric and let the Pinspiration begin. What makes a window seat Pinterest-worthy? It's not the really cool combination of colors that blend well with the aqua-themed kitchen, nor is it the fabric glue that we used to close the last seam, it's not even the idea of adding Velcro to help hold it in place......
It's the "dis-pinterest" of You-Know-Who that makes the window seat project blog-worthy. Steve read that the fabric glue needed "pressure" to make it "hold" so, as you can see, he applied some. Pincidentally, Steve would like to use the fabric glue to fix the seam in one of his pants.
OMG! This next Pinterest idea is absolutely Pinaginative! Monsters have taken over where holes once were.
It was complete Pinsanity Saturday morning as we created one monster after another......
And the jeans are cute, too, huh?
Each Pinsanity day included at least one "normal" activity. Saturday was hiking 2.2 miles there.....and 2.2 miles back from.....
.....this amazing waterfall. There were a few moments of "are we going to do it?" thoughts, but we all made it, there AND back. We had "scary" trees to manipulate around, huge rocks to explore, incredible views to take in, a hanging vine to dangle from, and mountain lions to avoid (not really, but Steve had the boys looking for them). I think one of the most interesting sites along the way was seeing the friendliness of the other hikers. I know this because as we passed each one Greta would ask, "how much longer to the waterfall?"
