Christmas Again?

I had a "a-ha" moment about 3 weeks ago. I also had the same "a-ha" moment yesterday morning. It was then that I confirmed that I love grocery shopping when the store first opens at 7:00 am. I go in, there's nobody around. The morning management staff actually speaks and says "good morning" to me. The girl at the register is friendly. It's just fabulous.

I also love coming home when I've just grocery shopped. Anybody would think it's Christmas in our house. Jeremy headed out the door to go to work. Then both the Madore-ables helped me put the pantry goodies away. Each time they openened a bag, they got so excited. Here are some things that were said while opening bags:

Samantha: "Mommy! You bought gold fish crackers? I love gold fish crackers!"

Sarah: "Mommy! Noo-noo's!" (a.k.a "Mommy! Noodles!")

Samantha: "Mommy! You bought a lot of Jell-O!"

(Editor's note: She doesn't need to know that it's 4/$1.00 this week)

Sarah: "Cra-cra!" (a.k.a "Crackers!")

Samantha: "TACOS?!? I love tacos! Does that mean we're having tacos for dinner tonight?"

Sarah: "Greeeeeen GRAPES!"

Well, you get the idea. Lots of "diving in"...and just like Christmas morning, there was quite the mess of plastic bags all over the kitchen.
