Toot'n In Your Sleep.....

I woke up this morning to rapid butt fire on my leg. I realized it was wild child's body pressed up against mine and smiled to myself. "AWWWW CUTE......she's toot'n in her sleep"

Then it struck me...... why is it that when our babies toot on us it's cute, but heaven forbid if our spouse did it, it would totally gross us out and we'd probably kick him out of bed? haha

So that is how I woke up this morning...Lily toot'n on my back and Reid kicking away at all my organs. Fine by me...I always like confirmation that he's still happy and healthy inside there...kick away my boy!

Heads up on the Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake....I thought it was fair. Good...but not something I'm ready to make again in the next few weeks. My kids loved it.....they polished it off last night after dinner and asked for more.

Speaking of dinner....

I found this recipe for Baked Potato Soup in a Sept 2010 issue of Family Circle. It looked quick and easy and yummy! Then again I love anything that requires a Crock Pot. I base how well a recipe does in our house by a few things

1. Hubs goes in for more (he's hard to please sometimes)
2. Kids go in for more
3. Kids ask for it again next week
4. I have zero leftovers
5. Ease of recipe

This met all of these....so here ya go

Baked Potato Soup
Ingredients

• 3-1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
• 1 small sweet red pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped broccoli
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/3 cup half-and-half
• 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream, plus additional for garnish
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1-1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Combine potatoes, red pepper and broccoli in slow cooker bowl. Pour broth over top; cover and cook 3 hours on HIGH or 6 hours on LOW or until potatoes are tender.

In a small bowl, stir together half-and-half, 1/3 cup sour cream, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Remove cover and mash potatoes slightly. Stir in half-and-half mixture and scallions. Spoon soup into bowls.

Divide bacon among bowls and dollop each with sour cream. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, if desired.

Today my mom and I are headed back to Target to get the Owl Bedding for Lily's bed

We already bought this pillow to match

I thought this would match a camping theme for Reid's side of the room when they start sharing a room. We are huge hedgehog fans in this house and I couldn't help myself when I saw the Hedgie's on the comforter! haha

I'd kill for the matching big floor pillow...but mom's buying so I don't want to beg for everything!

PS...as for toot'n in bed...you know we all do it in our sleep......(wink)
PSS....I'm totally addicted to those Sweet Crisps from Corner Bakery....I think I polished off the package in one day! ugh!
