Shopping and Meal List Week 5

My goodness did it get cold quickly!  It feels like January in November here in South Carolina.  You can take the girl out of Florida but you can't ever make her love the cold.  Adding insult to injury is this horrible time change.  Getting dark at 5:00 makes it so hard to get motivated to do anything late afternoon- not to mention the tiny people want to eat dinner at 4:30 every day now.  The baby decided she would stay on Daylight Savings Time so she is going to bed at 6:30 and up by 5:30 every morning.  It is going to be a long four months.
