Guess what Month it is?

I said the above in the voice of the Hump-day camel, just so you know!  It's February and we are doing another No Spend Month in the Scheller household!  Remember the rules?  If not, go check out our experience from last year here.  Now that you're reminded of our rules, let's hope I do better at documenting things this year. (And that we don't have to buy Zach a truck like we had to last year! Ha!)

One thing we are doing a little differently is that we are each allowing ourselves one lunch out a week since I go to lunch on Mondays with my friend, Elyse, and Zach goes out with some friends from school on Thursday.  I'm betting that's only $10 combined, though, so I wouldn't say it will break the bank!

We are hoping to really save and be able to deposit a good chunk into the ol' savings account because we have some things on our house "to-do" list that are more pricey (Windows- I shudder to think!) and also some general things we want to do, like taking a weekend get-away trip soon! 

So, that's our general plan!  We are meal-planning again, because that makes it so much easier to me if I have everything for the week ready to use and in my kitchen than if I have to run to the store.

Saturday was broccoli-cheese pasta
Sunday was Tyson chicken strips and Cream cheese chili dip (Hey, it was the Super Bowl! Although, funny fact, we didn't watch ANY of it!)
Monday- Cheddar Broccoli soup with rice and italian chicken strips
Tuesday- Philly Cheesesteak Pasta bake
Wednesday- Broccoli Beef Braids
Thursday- Tacos
Friday- Salads!
Saturday- I will be babysitting, so I'll eat at their house, and poor Zach will be left on his own!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
