E is for..

E is for Experiments. Not experimenting with science or sexuality. -that was what high school was for- Today is about experimenting with Pinterest. I do not know if you have realized yet, but over there ------> is a link to my Pinterest! Today I did ghetto boxes to awesome storage, string cheese bites and detox smoothies. 

First things first. My storage boxes, were diaper boxes. I have a ton of them, and why not use them for legos? Unfortunately I am not a crafty person in the least, so I am always hesitant to try anything remotely crafty. I am however VERY pleased with the way they turned out. I let Monster pick out the tape we used how he wanted the tape, and I did my best!
I started out with three boxes. I only remembered to start taking pictures after I was done with the first one, but it was 2 am and I was a little spacey. Did I mention I never sleep? Ever? It makes for loopy happenings. I actually had to take a sleeping pill to knock my butt out. I remember vaguely having a conversation with my cable company about my DVR not working. I woke up and had to call them and find out what time I arranged for the cable guy to come out because I could not for the life of me remember. In my defense, I took a sleeping pill at like 5am, then they called at the ungodly hour of 7am. Who does that??? Normal people? That is insane. I am not a morning person, and luckily neither are my kids most days. I should really give them my husband's number, he was very awake at 7am.

Anywho, back to my box. Here are some pictures of the two that I remembered to take pictures of before I started them. Then I just started wrapping them around the box like so.

I think I did pretty well considering :) Monster is very very pleased with them so I am a happy mama!
I do not have pictures of the other ones so I will just have to make you use your imagination. 

String cheese bites? Really good! I think it would have been better had I used regular bread crumbs instead of Italian bread crumbs, but I was not running to the store for regular bread crumbs. I am LAZY! Next time I plan on making them smaller however because I figured, hey, string cheese bites can totally be made into mozzarella stick style right? I was wrong. Too much cheese in one thing can make for messy four year olds.

Detox Smoothie! Now this was amazing. The spinach at the store was gross looking, so we opted for the Kale version instead. While I traditionally like my pineapple juice with alcohol and grenadine what? I figured you can not really do much to screw up pineapple flavor right? So we did it. I think I overdid the ginger because it was a flavor explosion!! Plus the Monster enjoyed drinking something that looked like the toxic waste that turned the TMNT into superheros. *I may or may not have told him it would give him superpowers and then took him to the store so he could make the doors open and close magically and then brought him home and told him he was turning into a ninja so fast that I could not see him.*

So there you have it, my attempt at actually doing things off of Pinterest. I think it turned out well! What is your favorite pin? How about the pin you use time and time again and you think it was a godsend? Any you would like to see me attempt? Lemme know!
