brrrrr, it’s getting cold here – love that!

i am SOOOOO thankful we have NOTHING on our schedule tonight. friday is the only night of the week that’s mellow and quiet around these parts. so, tonight we are hanging around the house, getting cozy in sweats and pj’s, the boys are watching the World Series, i’ll rummage through the house picking up randoms that have accumulated throughout the week….and we’re having crock-pot minestrone soup with some crusty bread….

if you don’t own a crock-pot, you must buy one. if you do own one, it’s time to dust it off and start cooking with me. i’ll be sharing a lot of inexpensive and delicious crock-pot recipes in here during the fall and winter. the crock-pot is my BFF in the kitchen.

can’t wait to have a quiet (or as quiet as it can be with 3 little ones) evening at home with my family. then this weekend….our schedule is out of control again; birthday party, dinner at a friends home, church, football game, halloween party sunday evening….but at least we have our quiet night tonight.
