Our Menu for January 16-23

Yesterday was Friday...grocery shopping day yet again. 

This past week went by soooo fast.  Sometimes I feel like I live at the grocery store...or stores I should say.  Ruy left right after lunch yesterday to go to the beach for the weekend so it was just me and the two "littles."  I had to go to Sam's Club, Kroger, and Wal-mart again this week.  I really wish all three of those stores were right beside each other and had some sort of connecting doors so that I didn't have to get the kids and all my stuff in and out of the van three times.  And I wish that it was possible for me to never step foot in Wal-mart ever again but sadly there are just some things that I can get there so much cheaper than Kroger or Sam's club...and they have some things that I buy that neither Sam's Club or Kroger sell.  

I brought my "big girl" camera with me to the store yesterday because I wanted to capture a few pictures of our grocery shopping adventures but as I figured, neither Alanna or Liam seemed in the mood for it, so I decided just to leave my camera in the car.  So this is the only shot I got of them :) 

Well here is our menu for the week.  I try to stick with it as much as I can but sometimes things pop up and I have to change it up a bit.  Usually that just means that I swop a dinner or a lunch for another day.
