$40

I love Albertson's. This is what I bought tonight for $40, and I only had one coupon. I did have to go through the check out four times, and it did take a while because the college kids where buying lots of alcohol, but it was worth it.

60 boxes of cereal
4 boxes of Chicken n' Biscuit
4 12-packs of soda
6 yogurts
2 frying chickens
1 bunch of bananas
1 gallon of milk

Can I just say that is amazing! Oh and we won't be buying cereal for another year.

Turtle #25

Avalee has reached the last set of turtle words. We have gone through 25 sets of words since the start of 1st grade. I have decided Turtle #25 is meant to take the students that reach it weeks to understand. So if anyone wants to call Avalee on the phone and give her a vocabulary lesson, this would be the week she needs help.

Here are the words that are on #25.

continent
ridiculous
awesome
alphabetical
published
photography
pandemonium
outlandish
formidable*
journalism
commendation
aristocrat
paleontology
paraprofessional
parochial**
parenthesize
repressive
reverberation*
sentimentalize
treasonable

* Had to look the word up in the dictionary to give Avalee a good definition.
** Looked the word up and still don't know how to pronounce it.
