One of these things you wonder if you did the right thing?

The other night we had a salesman come and show us a food plan that will save us money on food each month.  He was a very nice man and he cooked the free meat and vegetable that he had brought with him.  It was very good and then he went on to show us how we could save money on our grocery bill.  He did shave off about $300.00 for the month.  We ordered and they brought the food put it in the freezer.  This is done on a six month basis.  Then we pay monthly. This is our first order.  They arrived this morning at 7 a.m.

We also ordered some none perishables.  As I look at those I don't think it will last 6 months. 

This guys really know how to tuck it all in.

All in.


Hopefully we learn from this first order.  They don't sell fresh fruit or dairy so I'll keep track of what  I spend on those and decided if we done good.
Now I need to find a place to put all of this stuff.
We did buy a new freezer, we didn't need to, but it is a better one.  I didn't really like getting into the chest freezer.  Because of that, we did get additional 20% off the food bill each month.
Hmmmm.

Oh that GIRL

I went out to get the mail this afternoon and this is what I saw on the trampoline.


Her mom liked dogs when she was small must be a family trait.

Primary Class Lesson on flowers, plants and trees.

Yesterday was fun in the Sunbeams.  It was a fun lesson to prepare for.  We all made a flower picture, then planted a bean seed in a cup of soil and then ate an apple and orange.
I think the kids all enjoyed it.

Valentine Hearts

I teach the Sunbeams (3yrs) on Sundays.  This month,  Sunday was the day before Valentine's Day.  I usually have about 8 children in my class with time left over from the lesson.  Trudy, being a teacher, had some foam hearts and heart stickers that she asked me if I wanted to use in my primary class. Of course I said yes.  Then Sid, when I was about to print them out suggested that I didn't have to cut them all out just add I and U on each side of the heart. Cool.  I'm glad for all the help I can get.


I did have time left over, so I handed each child their heart and a package of little hearts.  I explained that they could give these to their moms and dads.  Well,  one little boy said, this was his heart and the other children knew who they were giving their heart to, not to mom and dad.

I had made one so they would know what to do.  Man those kids went to town, I had a hard time getting the backs off the foam hearts but these kids didn't. I wish I had taken my camera to take pictures but I forgot and I didn't even have my phone.  One little girl turned her heart over and put all her stickers on the back so she wouldn't ruin the heart.
It was a lot of fun.

Then on Valentines I got a surprise, My honey gave me roses.
 Today is Friday and they are still beautiful!!!!!!

Morning Fog 2 of 2 blogs posted today.

This morning when Stevie and I went out to the bus we were singing, I'm singing in the fog instead of rain. We had our umbrellas and were just having fun. Then I started to look around at the beauty of the fog and my surroundings, when I went back into the house I got my camera. I have painted a misty forest before and I thought 'wow',  if I could have seen this landscape before, my picture could have been so much better.












It is kinda of mysterious and magical that fog. 

Morning Pizza



Sid doesn't cook very often but when he does he gets creative.

This is turkey pepperoni, that he layered in first, and then poured our egg beaters on top and then added a whole wheat wrap.  Turned on the unit and a few minutes later this, that he cut into fourths and then we rolled it and ate.
