Ladies and Gentlemen....

IT'S FRIDAY!!! WOOHOOOOO!!! There is something about Friday that always gets me super excited! Even if I have to work tonight...which I do...I still love the ring of TGIF!!! AUUHHHH YEAH!!! Maybe it's the realization that I don't have to watch one or both of the kids all day and night long by myself. During the week...Monday through Friday...I feel as though I'm the sole parent of three children. On the weekend...for some reason...it changes.

Anyway, enough of that...So...it's FRIDAY!!! This week has been a busy one for all.
This weekend we are expected to get a bit more of the ugly white stuff. I hate it when it snows...we have to scoop it...but I guess we need it so we aren't so dry in the spring/summer. This is the way it goes when you have four seasons!!!

Apart from the regular in's and out's of the week I made my first trip to Trader Joe's! In back in October of this last year, we had our first Trader open up at One Pacific Place. It was THE PLACE TO BE for almost the last two months. Even at 8 a.m. the place would be packed with people check'in it out and pick'in up what they needed. I thought, before this week of course, that it was another Whole Foods with super outrageous priced food that honestly tasted like arse!!! Don't get me wrong...if you can afford it...please go and shop at Whole Foods...but let me tell ya...I'll stick with the health food dept at Hy-Vee over Whole Foods.

In any case, I couldn't have been more wrong. One of the girls I work with at the hospital was telling me about these salmon patties and Alaskan cod that they sold at Trader's. OMG!!! I couldn't have been more wrong! Oh...I said that once didn't I? Yeah...well...I ended up with a very large bag full of food and I only spent just over $45 for one trip...AND the food actually tastes good!!! Dude...it was the bomb-digity!!! Don't get me wrong, the plain frozen yogurt I sampled was nasty, but the granola they threw in with it was AWESOME!!!

So...being the tard that I can be sometimes...I took some pic's for you all to show off my purchases.
Ok...so I had to pick up a few reusable bags while I was there. Along with my Vera Bradley addiction, Warren is convinced that I have an addiction to THESE type of bags as well. I had a mountain of them...but I still buy more! What can I say...I LOVE 'EM!!!
OK...so I had to buy one of the freezer bags b/c it is only the best one I've seen in ages! I'm so excited to use it this summer when we go to the zoo for lunch!
Here is my mother load of food! SO GOOD!!!Ok...so after taxes I spent $47 and some odd cents. It was worth every cent...and I'm sure I spent two times less what I would be spending at Whole Foods....don't get me wrong...I like the place...but it is PRICEY!!!

This weekend promises to be just as busy as the weekend has been. We have tickets to see "Elmo's Healthy Adventures" at the Qwest Center. I can't wait to see Ian's reaction to ELMO! He loves the dude!!! I thought Sophia loved the guy, but her's was a very subdued love for the dude! I'll post pictures tomorrow and let you know how it all went!!!

Well, I'll letcha all go now! Try and have a fabulous day! Try not to forget...IT'S FRIDAY!!!
