6 c. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 c. rolled […]

So I guess that means it really should have been a $33 or $34 dollar week. I apologize profusely for misleading you.
I contemplated making something else. I contemplated asking Josh to run to the store when he got home.

I LOVE my guys. Perfect. Just perfect.
Here they are outside, in the cold, at 10:30pm. Crazies.

All that. For $32. Let me explain:
This is the food part, accrued from Kroger’s and Aldi’s. The food part of our adventures today totaled $35.78.

So I finally get DSL. So you’d think there’d be all sorts of pictures and maybe even a video on this week’s Meet and Greet.
But no. My card reader broke. The one I got for Christmas. It’s less than two months old.

This is potentially the longest stretch we’ve ever lived in the same apartment. So we’re not sure…

Take one potty chair:
Throw in an entertaining read:
And some favorite toys:
And, here’s the kicker, add one step stool:
And you’ve just set up a work table/play area that will keep a restless toddler ON THE POTTY until, well, her work is done.
