Day 6

Well I dreaded day 6 all week because I knew I was going to have to go out of the mountains for the day and go get the food shopping done. I knew I would be gone all day and I wouldn't be prepared enough for what to eat. I got up early and packed some of the left over homemade bread and some hummus and raw cashews and sunflower seeds. I was out of everything else, but i had somw spinach and frozen berries,  so I stopped at the small store back here and grabbed some snack foods. Bags of mini clementines and apples and carrots and broccoli and cauliflower. Jordan left to go work for the day and I sent him of with a snack pack for driving around and crossed my fingers. The kids and I shopped and snacked on fruit and veggies and nuts. After lunch and naptime as went to the whole foods that was further away and trader joes. On the way back we got stuck in bad traffic for 2.5 hours! They ate all of the clementines in the car and some raisins and gave in to snacking on a few carrots even which was great. They LOVE canned carrots and eat them like crazy they used to go through a can a day everyday. I know that was a bad decision but I thought I was just helping them eat veggies that were easier to eat. I should have just steamed fresh veggies because they just are being slow to experiment with raw carrots and veggies . That's okay to me. I just wanted to get through the day. Jordan did AMAZING all day and he was HAPPY not ornery and deprived. Im so happy and proud of him. I feel so so blessed that heavenly father is blessing him with the motivation at the same time as me, that we are able to do this as a family and change for the better together. I could never have done it without him.
