damn, my kids eat a lot...

[Joia]

the boars head lady was at the supermarket yesterday with some kind of deal if you buy 2 lbs of cold cuts and/or cheese. The turkey was $1.60 off so I bought a lb of it, thinking it would last a week. I also bought 1/2 lb maple ham and corned beef for myself...

there are 2 slices left of the turkey!!!:eek:

I did make a sandwich for myself with 3 slices and one for my husband also with 3 slices and the little ones ate the rest!!! can you believe it?

Since Yesmeen really started eating, I have to go to the supermarket twice as often.

I have to buy 3 bunches of celery at a time because Rio can eat an entire bunch over a 24 hour period of time.

We bought a ginormous jar of pickles at costco, they were gone in 3 days.

Rio could easily eat an entire bag of string cheese in one sitting, but I cut her off at 4.
