Fruit

Ok, so I am often asked about my grocery shopping with this many kids. So, I thought I would show just the fruit I buy for one week minus the grapes. Since I have done away with most of the sugar/junk in our house fruit gos very quickly. Plus I pack lunches for school and the boys have track so I send lots of fruit for their day.

2 bags apples, 2 bags oranges, 2 bunches bananas, and 2 bags of grapes.

 

I only shop weekly for fruit, milk, and sometimes bread. I am a coupon shopper and a stock shopper, so I do not have to go often. When I go to the meat market I place a order for 150 pounds or more of meat. This way I do not have to mess with it. I'm blessed that our meat market wraps our meat in the size packages I need.  I am going to be making a coupon trip this week, and I will try to take pictures and show you. (If I remember.) M is home this week so it will make my trip a little easier.

Kite flying

We had a kite flying day with church last Sunday. We did not get to fly kites to long though b/c it was to windy out. We had like 40 mph wind that day, so the kids played on the playground a while before we went home. Didn't stay out there long with K's ears hurting like they have been. The kids had fun though.

V played basketball the whole time we were there and C played with his friends trying to fly kites. K sleep most of the time.
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Prov. 22:6

1st soccer game for C

Sorry it has been so long since I have been able to post. Had sick babies and been very busy (K has been so sick. Praying this is under control now.). C had his 1st soccer game last week and they won 6 to 0. They did so good. They also won the game yesterday 4 to 0 and C made 2 goals. Here are some pictures of the game and V playing with the babies at the park after the game.
