Around here, we go through a massive number of yogurt cups. D and Munchkin love their yogurt. As Munchkin has gotten older, she’s moved away from many of the yogurts geared towards kids (Trix) and moved on to more of the adult varieties. While D really likes fruit-on-the-bottom type yogurt, he’s quite happy with his Yoplait yogurt. Every time we head over to Sam’s Club, he gets a pack.

Project 365 – #255 While Munchkin has been doing high school work in some subjects for a little while now, this year is the first year where she’ll be doing high school level work in all subject, so she’s **gulp** officially in high school. Yikes! How did that happen? She’s excited, but a little leery of the extra work that comes along with doing high school level work in all courses.
