Yesterday was our first day back at the brick and mortar school where we go two days a week (I actually work there, Elijah goes to his preschool class. The rest of the kids go to a homeschool class where they work on hands on projects in science, history and art).
Leaving the house presented our first real challenge of eating from the pantry. I didn't have many things to pack for lunch and I didn't have any baggies to pack food in. So, I just started pulling things from the freezer...taco soup for the girls and gumbo for me. Rather than packing five individual lunches I just put it all together in one bag.
Luckily for Noah and Elijah I had bought some lunch meat at the store. They don't really dig soup unless it is Ramen Noodle or Chicken Noodle soup from a can. In his mind homemade soup is yucky!! And, I still had a few chips from the largest bag of chips I had seen in my life that Jennifer left here New Year's Eve. (They are now gone!!)
I did spend my first money on Monday 1/4/10 - $9.65 (milk, sugar, lunchmeat, and chunk cheese). $40.35 left for the month!!
