Operation: Eat More Veggies

So the long weekend is over. I don't know about you but we ate way to much crap.

We even took the kids to McD's for the first time ever this weekend! It was the end prize of the room cleaning competition, boys vs. girls.

So this evening I grabbed a food pharisee in training, Lula, and hit up the grocery store. This is what 42 bucks will buy you. I feel better already. The rutabaga is the "new" veggie for us. The kale is slowing becoming a staple.

Racky the other day, "I'm beginning to like kale chips!" Hallelujah!!! I did hit up Rite Aid yesterday $1.60. They forced me to buy the candy bars, okay not, but she said I had to spend 62 more cents so that is what I grabbed. I'm down $3 UP rewards but the toothpaste alone would have cost $5.49. I hope to get better at making coupons work for our "needs".

(Don't you just love to see what people spend their money on? I do!)

What would you choose?

If given a choice animals will choose the good stuff. What would you choose?

Very interesting article.

Remember these...

They finally have been made into applesauce. What a relief!

Here the math, because I'm a nerd like that.
$3 for lids
$20 of apples

So $23 divide by 60, we got 60 quarts out of it plus they ate mad crazy gobs of it all day today.

.38 a jar!!!!!

Not too bad I do say.

Baby Talk

The other I lay in bed and heard her say "mama" over and over again. It has to be one of the sweetest sounds. (She is 9 months old already.) Now this beauty was saying mama really early, like before 6 months, and she hasn't shut up yet:-)

I love seeing their different personalities come out. They are all so unique. If Benna, the baby, talks as much as Lula I pray that the Lord is merciful and pours out grace to be able to stand all the questions! Or I might just lock them in a room together!

People perform to what you inspect.

So today I was correcting about 10+ of Racky's math lessons. His normal average of 2 wrong has gone up. "People perform to what you inspect."

He had answers like "I don't know what they are talking about??" And "Huh?"

Nice! Why not just ask me?

So I guess I need to start checking his work daily or at least every other day:-) The joys of a homeschooling mother.

Hmmmm....

So I picked up this book from the library. I'm really not sure if I should read it.

I tend to be closed minded and take offense to things that aren't even directed at me. I'm afraid I will judge my sweet man unjustly.

What to do? Do I really want to know.....

Can you tell she's my favorite?

Go read it, she's great!!!
