*Disclaimer* Our camera is acting crazy, so photos look kind of strange... I'm really glad we bought the extended warranty

Our Thanksgiving week began with a *quick* trip to Atlanta to visit some family. Ava bonded with her cousin Joseph while Lucas and Josh had a blast playing together. I told Ava that right now she may enjoy holding Joseph's hand, but one day he's going to pull her pigtails and she will think he has cooties.

Why is it so hard to get 3 and 4 year olds to pose for a picture? Lucas used to be so good at smiling on command, but now we're lucky if we get something like this. Is this a boy thing?

See, I told you there is something wrong with our (new) camera. Anyway, if you can see past the strange colors, this is me with my cousin Margaret. She and her family are moving to live with the yankees and we will miss them so much!

Jump ahead to Thursday (Sorry the photos are out of order - I'm really in need of a nap and a shower, but that's another issue all together.) We celebrated Turkey day with Matt's family at his parent's house. Here Lucas is chilling with his cousins before lunch.

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
