$3,000 of Groceries

Have you ever wondered what $3,000 of groceries would look like?

It's hard to really get perspective...I took all but the first seat out of our 15 pass van....

Just in case a new blog reader would think I spend $3K a month on groceries...no, they are not all ours. We coordinate a United Natural Foods co-op. LOL

Frigthening! Aren't they?

Enjoying Nolan and Zander's birthday present...laser tag guns. We are dreaming of a big field at night...but evidently the house will do just fine.

OK - I know. I get it. This is teaching our children to play with guns.....but what can I say? They enjoy playing laser tag and this is far cheaper than going to the "place".

Winners - Claim your prize

Finally, some book winners. Thanks for your patience. You have one week from today to email me with contact info. Either email me at our family email or at dschoosingjoy@gmail.com , rather than the old yahoo one. I actually CHECK this one because it pops up right by my google reader. I had to go with the "one week" thing because books were backing up. Any books that have been unclaimed within a week will be re listed. With the exception of the singles book, Arielle picked numbers and then I went to see who had won.

Here you go:

*When God Writes Your Love Story* - I said I would give any singles who entered priority, then parents of singles....we had two singles enter. This is a no brainer! I'll send a copy of this book to BreAnne (my babe) and Ruth Russell. Bre and Ruth, email me your mailing addresses and I'll have these shipped from Amazon.

*I Do Again* - This one goes to Hope of Reflections of Hope

*The Love As A Way of Life Devotional* - Darci - dkoski@roadrunner.com

*For Couples Only* - Jodi at Snapped!

*Intimate Issues* - Because of a very generous publisher and a postal glitch, I have several copies to give away of this title. These copies go to Connie (from Kelly's giveaway), Bobbie Jo from Just Me Bobbie Jo , Kris from Just as I Am, Yvonne from Grateful for Grace, and Holly from Household Six . This one made me chuckle. I think Arielle was tired of "choosing numbers" and so went 3, 4, 5, or whatever....but then I realized all but Yvonne are military spouses....PWOC sisters...yep...doing my part to stir things up in the military. ::snort::

Get a Cow!

Today was our weekly milk run. I bought 4 gal from United. Some members of my family are resistant to organic milk. ::snort::

We picked up 12 gal at Sams - a few gallons less than usual as Mike is gone.

Cashier - Big smile. "You must have a daycare."

Me - "No, I have a family."

Cashier - "Get a cow!"

We laughed hard.
