Busy morning - the boys wanted French Toast; I'd picked up one of those 16oz loaves of cinnamon raisin bread when I stopped by Aldi on my way home from work Friday morning, so we had the fixings for it. I may have enough of the bread left to make a 16 oz custard cup size bread pudding tomorrow morning (I leave the bread out under a flour sack dishtowel overnight so it's not as soft). I'll have it to carry in my work lunch as my dessert as Hubby doesn't care that much for it.
At the rate they were chowing down, I'm going to go ahead and pull out the next size larger winter clothes tub for the older boy, just in case - his size 8 shirts are getting pretty tight and I only had one size 10-12 in his closet. The younger one is a size behind him so I'll just move things from one dresser to the other. I need to sort through younger grandson's outgrown things and carry the best of them to town on one of my work days; cousin who was a foster parent told me about a foster child clothing pantry that is in need of clothing.
I hit Rural King Friday morning for bird feed, checked to see if the wool socks were on sale yet but no luck. I'll keep checking for those, and for small size wool gloves - the fleece lined gloves just don't keep my fingers as warm.
The younger boy is trying to con Papaw into letting him ride his dirt bike - I'm not too excited about the idea since it's snowing and some of the snow is melting; looks a little too slick to me for his level of skill - we'll see if he talks Papaw in to it. Older grandson is just rolling his eyes; no way he's going to pry himself away from his new book to go out in the cold
I've been looking at the CVS ad - if anyone needs to stock up on vitamins, it looks like it might be a good week to do so there. Some CVS brand vitamins are on sale buy one get one free. Nature Made vitamins are also on sale BOGO (Elderberry, D3, etc..), plus there is a 'Spend $30, get $10 Visa gift card' deal going on for those plus some other OTC stuff. Several other brands of vitamins are on sale as well. CVS brand pain relief is on sale buy one get one 50% off - aspirin is supposed to be a help with Covid by 'thinning' the blood, so that might be a stock up item as well. I did stock up on more chewable Vitamin C and multivitamins last week during another BOGO sale, so we were set for about a year of our use until I left a couple of bottles of C at daughter's house for their use and for the oldest grandson - he's a lineman apprentice and has been out in all kinds of weather lately.
I need to do more pantry arranging before I do much more stock up shopping. Also need to can up some more pork 'n beans so I can rotate out some of the dry beans I have on hand. I may use some pintos as well as white beans in the pork and beans.
Well, darn - looks like I better look around and see if I can figure out what to feed those boys for lunch - seems like I just got done with the breakfast dishes
You folks all take care out there; stay safe, stay sane!
