I always knew that when my kids got older they would have more expensive toys, they would need/want more clothes, they would eat MORE! But I had no idea it was coming so soon. If you don't know me very well...I am very cheap! But I'm having to grow out of that as my kids grow up. I used to buy a week worth of groceries for $65-75, not anymore! The other morning I made Cinnamon Rolls, you know the kind that comes in a roll like biskets, there are 8 in a pack. Colson, my 6 year old, my baby, ate 5-FIVE!! Now I had made 2 packs, I guess from now on I will have to make 3 packs. Next day... I made "Shells and Cheese." It's kind of like spaghetti/lasagna. I made it like always, a whole box of shell noodles, spaghetti sauce, cheese, etc. We scrapped the bottom of the pan! I can't imagine what it is going to be like when all my kids are teenagers! I do love for my kids to eat! Anna Kathryn is very picky, so anything she will eat is good. But I think I may have to get a 2nd job just to feed them!
On another note, school is going pretty good for everyone! Homework SUCKS! I don't know who came up with it, but they obviously didn't have have 4 kids or a life! I helped Tanner with homework the other night for 45 minutes. Now 45 minutes is not that long, but when there are 3 other kids that need help, supper to cook, laundry, etc. And it's not even baseball season!
So I guess this kind of sounds like I'm complaining, I'm really not!! I love my kids, I love cooking for them, I love helping them with homework! They are the BEST!
PS-The picture right below- is Anna Kathryn cleaning off her feet in the dog bowl! We are rednecks!
