I'm not sure if you've ever tried this for the boys, but try freezing their go gerts. They're really good frozen, but they would also be very cold when it came to lunch at school.

What a whole different world we would be living in today if every child had parents as wonderful as you both. Your children are a testament to what the results are when you bring your children up with values, sensitivity, patience and love. Your family is a joy to watch and as a Costco obsessed lady, I love the Costco hauls, lol!

I guessed $165! I’m looking forward to hearing how you like the Creamii and what recipes you use. I got one last month, but still not sure about it. We don’t like the texture of the Creamii recipes for ice cream made with cream cheese so I’m experimenting with other recipes. The slushies are really good! Thanks for the heads up on the Kirkland comparable nuggets. We love the other, too, but cheaper would be nice. Happy Spring 😊

Two things about this Costco chickens the bags leak and when I was going through checkout it leaked on the clothes no fault of mine they put it on top of my clothing and in the Box once again they said this is because they're trying to save money just like not pre-roll packaging the paper towel rolls which sucks because I used to enjoy throwing them in the car or in my camping tote and now they're not individually wrapped the trying to cut Corners there and with the containers so I'm not buying the Costco chicken and more because that net weight of the chickens has also went down and I don't need to increase leaking all over my clothes and then them having to go back and get me clothes without chicken grease because I was being very careful with the bag they weren't and I wasn't going to buy clothes with chicken grease

Love from South Florida 🏝️🏝️. ❤ this shopping trip. I have Been 🙏 for your family and Violet is so beautiful 💕 And a Costco trip with Mark is always fun. 🎉The Maryruth gummy‘s you tried is from Mary Ruth’s vitamin company I buy for my grandchildren they’re excellent. they are pricey, but they have great ingredients so I’m assuming the gummy‘s do also hopefully we will get them in the South Florida stores soon.

I do love your boys, Bennett is such in tune with his baby sister, he’s going to be chasing the boys away never mind Mark doing it. It was brilliant seeing you Mark & Miss Violet shopping today, Mark on the bike had me creasing with laughter. He’s such a kid but itygreat that he loves being a goofball, bet loads laughed with him. Miss Violet was fabulous on her first Costco shopping visit, hopefully next time your friends are there to see her. I cannot wait to see The Alaska Boys cooking show especially with the Ninja Creami.
