of cats, teeth, and groceries

{Delaney and the neighbor's cat -- has nothing to do with this post, but I liked it, so, there you have it.}

I took the little girls to their regular dentist appointment this morning (no cavities, yeah!, but Ava has a crossbite already, boo -- before too long we'll be camping at the orthodontist with all of our kids), and on the way home I finally stopped by a new store over there called Newflower Farmers Market.  It was pretty cool, kinda reminded me of Trader Joe's (although TJ will always hold a special place in my heart, sigh).  It's basically a smaller Whole Foods with much better prices.  They had a large produce section, large "natural" health/beauty section, and a pretty good variety of other things (including what seems to be a good selection of gluten-free stuff, for those so inclined).  Also has a good looking butcher section.  Anyway, here is a sample of the deals I got today:

• Oak Farms skim milk for $2.99 (I usually see this for >$4)
• bagged salad for $1
• Kashi Go Lean cereal for $2
• dozen organic-y (free range maybe, can't remember and I'm too darn lazy to go downstairs and check) eggs for $1.50
• boneless, skinless chicken thighs for $2.69/lb

I will be adding that store to my list of places to check in on when I get the chance.

Dear Trader Joe's executives:
Will you pretty pretty please put a store in Austin??  I'll be your best friend forever.

We have that store here but it's called Sunflower Farmer's Market. I like it but it's out of the way so I don't go very often.

I love the picture!

Hannah has a full set of braces now. Prob will have 14-16 months of that but hopefully we'll then be done. She has already had one round of braces on top.

I just drove by there today - holy packed place! My MIL went and said it was really cool. Too bad it's so far, I might be tempted to shop there regularly.
