Cereal

What is it with my kids and cereal? I could feed them cereal for any and every meal and they would be in high heaven. I just bought ten boxes of cereal at Smith's last week and we are now down to the last three boxes. I was thinking that it would be a good item to have in my food storage, but I guess that it was more like our week storage. You would think that it is the only thing I feed my family, but fortunately it isn't. I have limited the amount that they have eaten, but I guess having 5 kids just adds up to a high cereal consumption. I guess that I am happy that the cereal I bought is whole-grain, but I still don't think that it is healthy enough to eat that much.
Another thing that I can't figure out is when did my kids start thinking that they need a big "after-school snack". As soon as they come home, it is like a tornado has hit. I guess this is where the cereal consumption hits and ties into my thoughts right now because this is the what happened this afternoon about 3:30; cereal boxes, milk, bowls, and milk everywhere, as well as lots of craziness!!!!! Oh, the joy of kids!

My First Post

Today is the day of trying something new, adding to my blog. My sister, Liz, has been guiding me on getting this page set up so that I could actually start into the blogging world. I feel very unfamiliar with this new world of technology, but I am excited to learn!
