Over my limit!

So I apparently reached my limit for pictures to post on my blog. So now I have to pay money if I want to put pictures on my blog. Lame? I think so.
Until I make such payments, here is my post explaining why I'm not posting. I do have pictures of the house I want to post, and the Green/Kelley/Grover campout at Lake Sommerville, and the trunk or treat we just went to and visiting with cousins at Grandmother and Pawpaws and so much more!! But that will all have to wait.
Now lets talk peanut butter. I like Jif peanut butter. It's good, actually it's great! However, its not GREAT for you. The alternative is natural or organic peanut butter. But has anyone tried natural or organic peanut butter? It's nasty guys, it really makes you want to gag. You have to stir it first and then spread the oozyness all over your bread and hope that it tastes 100 times better than it looks. And it doesn't. We've tried it, a lot. Trying to make the switch, but it's really hard to force my kids to eat something that I can barely eat! So we still eat Jif and it is delicious. And maybe, someday they'll magically make great tasting natural and/or organic peanut butter.

the end.

You can start a new blog and direct us all over to it :) or can you remove a few of the older ones? Just a few ideas!

As for peanut butter, yes we (I mean Jarod, Hannah and me) eat either Laura Scudder's, I get it at Wal-Mart best price or we eat Trader Joes natural peanut butter. I like Trader's better but since we don't have one, I do run out. We started the natural peanut butter eating by first going to Jif Natural (this is what Art eats and it does taste a little different than regular Jif) It is somewhat better for you but still has the oils we are trying to remove from our diet. From there we went to all natural and the kids and I actually like it better. When I get a new jar of natural I mix it very well, this is important, make sure you mix all the way to the bottom. Then when you use it leave it on the counter to warm up it will spread easier this way. I was afraid to eat natural because I hadn't heard good things about it but I actually like it better.

In case you are wondering Sarah eats all natural Trader Joe's Sunflower Butter, she can't eat peanut butter:)

Number one - that's a stupid blog rule. You should totally just start another one. Or you could print old posts at blog2print.com into a book and then delete and keep going. But starting a new blog is cheaper.
We eat natural peanut butter over here. We think the best is the Kroger brand. It is smoother and creamier than Laura Scudder or Smuckers natural, it stirs way easier, too. The kids like it. Or, another alternative, you can buy fresh ground at our Kroger, INCLUDING HONEY ROASTED. Yum! It is actually less goopy and creamy, but tasty. Good luck with the switch.

I didn't know there was limit on pictures! I wonder when I'll reach my limit? And I wouldn't worry too much about the Peanut Butter. It's one small thing. If you can't go all natural or organic with it, it won't kill you! The natural organic things that you do eat will balance it out!

We actually like the Smucker's peanut butter (natural and organic) but we've been doing it for awhile now.

I'm looking forward to the new blog!! :)
