A meat guy came to sell me meat...

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
So the doorbell rang and a guy from a nearby town meat market... I forget the name but not the Shwans guy.  They offered a pretty good deal and the steaks looked yummy but my freezer is small and my hubby was not home so I was not willing to spend $150 on meat.  It averaged to be $2 a steak and the steaks were HUGE!!!  They looked so tasty!

Do you buy your meat from specialty stores?  in bulk?  Only once in awhile when on sale so its a super duper treat like me?

We buy our meat at a local butcher shop because the quality is so much better and it's way cheaper than Wal-Mart or anywhere else.

One time my Grandma had a meat guy come by her house and tell her his meat truck broke down and he needed to get rid of all the meat in his truck. He promised to give her a good deal. So, my grandma being the kind hearted woman she is, bought all his meat only to find out afterward that his truck wasn't broken at all. It was a scam!

So, needless to say, our family is a little leery of men selling meat out of meat trucks! :)

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.  
This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :) 
It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)  
I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
