K-E-Double L- Oh- GOOD!
Albertsons does it again. Forty-nine boxes for $43.88 plus a $10.00 cash coupon for my next grocery purchase. It works out to be $0.70 a box. Regular price is a gut-wrenching $4.65 a piece; sale price still gives me heartburn at $2.00 each. Cereal I would never, ever buy at that price. My receipt says I saved a whopping $183.83! Talk about evil inflation and price gouging... Holy Corn Pops, Batman!
Over the last two weeks, Albertsons had a sale on cereal for $.25 a box, there were lines and of course, it turned into a crazy free-for-all a la the infamous Cabbage Patch or Tickle Me Elmo mobs of the 80's and early 90's. Saving my sanity, not to mention whatever's left of my somewhat working body, I opted out. My only thought (or concern) is why all the cereal discounts when there is a world-wide wheat/grain shortage? I'm not the brightest or the biggest star in the heavens but it seems a little hazy to me. Any guesses?
Milk jug tip goes to Charity for the heads-up!
Our BIGGEST April Fools!

He's a barn stormer that D.J., even from the get-go. One of his favorite things to do was hop up and down the hall, around the kitchen wall and back again non-stop. Needless to say, he was over-joyed later that month when we bought the boys a trampoline for their birthdays.(Garibaldi Bay, OR 2004)
D.J. has never been afraid of gooey-gross things (he's a boy... I shouldn't be surprised) and has always had an inquisitive mind. We took home so many shells that trip and by the time we returned home I was beginning to doubt the stench would ever clear out of my car no matter how many Little Trees were hanging from the rear-view mirror.

D.J. is as D.J. does, one of my favorite pictures of him. We just finished posing for a bunch of 'serious' family pictures taken by our friend and photographer, Quillan when D.J. popped up out out of the creek just as she was packing up her car to leave. Of all of the 200+ pictures she snapped that day, this captures who D.J. really is. How could you not adore him?
Happy Birthday D.J. !!! We LOVE you!!!
