Canning

First things first. AREN'T THEY ADORABLE? This is picture day and since I KNOW that their school pics won't turn out.... I took these. SUPER cute. Savannah is a character as you can see in this pic. Her personality just shines right through her.

And then there is Mikenna. Too cute for words. She LOVES the camera and will pose most of time it is around. So here is her cute photo for the morning.

So the other day I decided that it would be fun to "can" because chicken was on sale for 1.57/lb and hamburger on sale for 1.58/lb the 93% lean!!!! I can't even get that at walmart for less than 3/lb.

I called my aunt :) and asked her what she was doing tomorrow (today) and she said nothing (ya right... she has twins) and I said ya all want to can 50 lbs of meet? She said there was nothing that she would rather do and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to can meats
.
Off to albertson's we went (trailing my 3 and her twins) to purchase 50 lbs of chicken and hamburger. SERIOUSLY? Yes I said 50 lbs. It was insane.

Today we spent the day from 830am to 530pm canning our purchases. It was a BLAST!!! Just imagine 4 babies under 11 months old and you can IMAGINE the fun we had! For reals!

A big shout out to Erica and Emily who tolerated a thousand phone calls. It was quite a day. And I am soooo glad it is over.

AND remember all the running I am doing? Yeah 4.7 miles a day for the last week just in case you were wondering..... (not bad for a frumpy mom who hasn't run in lets say um 2 years? mind over matter people) Well. My feet hurt. My legs hurt. My abs hurt (which I LOVE). My back hurts. And truth be told.... These hurt. Just take a look. I know TMI.
