What I Bought - Aldi

This week's grocery shopping trip was more exciting than normal - and not in the fun way!

We were supposed to get snow Wednesday morning, so I planned to put off shopping and scrounge for a day or two. But then we awoke to....(drum roll)... nothing! So I threw on some clothes, grabbed the baby, and headed out...and then:

The van door wouldn't open.

I had to everything over to the hubby's car.

It started to spit freezing rain right as we arrived at the grocery store.

I, along with half the town, shopped at mach speed trying to beat the brunt of the storm.

We were pelted with MUCH freezing rain on the way out. Baby Wilder thought freezing rain on his little, bare head was basically the worst thing to ever happen to him.

Sigh. At least we have everything we need to feed us for the week!
