This is what happens...

I do not talk on the phone a lot. With five kids it is near impossible. Because of noise level I usually have to go into the garage or outside to be able to hear the other person. But, of course, I do talk to my Mom a couple times a week. Today, I was on the phone with her and the girls decided they needed a second snack. So, they got the almonds from the pantry. The Sam's Club almonds...
that is 3 POUNDS of heart healthy almonds.

They dumped almost the entire container of almonds on the floor and divided them into three piles. One for Hannah, one for Chloe and one for Maxine. Yes, Maxine... the dog. You can see we have been working on sharing. I believe they are getting it!




This is what is left of our almonds...

I promise I didn't let them eat them all. After I snapped the pictures I had them throw the rest in the trash. I think this maybe a sign that they are growing tired of the Halloween candy!

What does that much almond do after it goes through the body? Hmm, ponderable...
