Not a grocery report.
I do have a picture.
But that's all.
I had a busy day yesterday...I did household stuff in the morning, including making our main meal, and once Mr. FG left for work, Sonia and Zoe and I headed off to do a photo shoot for some friends.
Then we ran a few errands, which included buying crickets for Joshua's gecko, and buying a Christmas present for Joshua from Sonia and Zoe.
I was home for about a half hour, and then we headed out again to drop Joshua off with his boy cousins while the girls and I went to my mom's house to watch Anne of Green Gables with almost all of the girls on my side of the family.
Even my littlest niece was there!
And then after I got home and got the kids in bed, I decided my living room and kitchen really needed to be cleaned up.
Oh, that's better.
I took these before and after pictures with my new point and shoot because I can take a picture of a whole room with it (my SLR lenses aren't wide angle!).
Not perfect, but definitely better.
That little camera does pretty well at night with no flash...I'm pretty impressed.
Anyway!
That's why I didn't get a grocery/menu plan post written. Have a happy Saturday. 🙂

Ah Anne of Green Gables my absolute favorite. I still read the books over and over and over again. I can't wait til Emma is old enough to enjoy them as well.
Happy Saturday. Can't wait to share 'Anne' with my wee girl 🙂
We had girl movie night last weekend. We had a great time too. Fun memories they'll treasure.
Thank you for making me feel normal! My kitchen looks like yours more often than it looks decent haha! Nice to know I'm not alone (although I have fewer excuses than you do).
This is kinda random, but I saw a Saxon Math book in your kitchen photo. Math wasn't my strong subject, but I really liked Saxon. It helped me seeing all the examples they had and all the review. Yay for homeschooling!
Same here. I have never thought math was super-thrilling, but I liked Saxon the best. The constant review was really good for me.
OH, I just LOVE "Anne of Green Gables"..that whole series of movies, books and thte spin-off tv show "Road to Avonlea" are my FAVORITE...I'll bet all of you had a grand time watching that 😉 🙂 Your photos are really nice, especially of your little ones 🙂 🙂 Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂
I just wanted to say the little girls are beautiful especially your littlest niece.
Oh I love that scene from "Anne" when she decides she's going to walk that ridgepole! My favorite part though, is the combination of her green hair and the look on her face as she folds her hands and leans back against her headboard right after she finds out she gets to stay! Awesome movie. No one uses that sort of vocabulary anymore. : (
My daughter in law swears that my son is the sweetest. "How did you get him to be this way?" My daughter answered----"Many hours of being forced to watch Anne of Green Gables with me."
:>)
Love your before and after pictures.
thank you for sharing your family with me...i feel i really know you and them!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Hi Kristen, just wanted to wish you and your family a merry Christmas. I like reading your blog and looking at your pictures all year 'round, but getting a peek at your Christmas preparations has been especially fun. 🙂 Merry Christmas!
This is inspiring me to get cleaning...almost.
Looking good!
It's amazing one simple thing can make a difference. Since all the talk about point and shoots, and not using the flash, I've tried it and have taken some good photos - Thanks!
I love that Anne-with-an-E movie so much. I remember watching it serialized on PBS when I was a kid, desperate for the next installment!
