Our Peanut Has Gone Granola

We apologize for the long delay in blogging. First we had our little census, and then we've been having Blogger issues over the last few days. Anyway ...

I can't say that this has been Marielle's very first time to Whole Foods, but it is probably the first time she's "shopped" there. We headed to Boulder last week for dinner and thought we'd swing in to the store and see if we could walk out feeling any healthier than when we had gone in. The truth is that we like some of the stuff Whole Foods has to offer (hormone-free beef,etc.), but we don't understand how it could ever be practical to do all of our shopping there. Knowing that my vegetables were treated humanely is just not that important to me.

All of that aside, Marielle had a great time cruising around the store. She helped me push the cart, picked out some treats for Sophie, and said "Hi" to everyone she could. At one point, we were standing near a health bar display while waiting for Viv and I couldn't keep Marielle away from the flax seed bars. I don't now what it was about the flax seed, but she couldn't leave 'em alone. What is a flax seed anyway? Why are flax seeds so great for us? or are they? I assume they are great for us because they are available at Whole Foods (I certainly can't think of a time I saw flax seed anywhere else).

In the grocery stores over here they have little tiny shopping carts for the kids. They're pretty cute...they even have little orange flags sticking up from them (like they have on bikes). I bet your little shopper had a great time!

They should put orange flags on all of the carts. I think that'd be a lot of fun, and it would distract me from how much money we spend in a grocery run.
