I Want This!!!

Ok I NEVER in my wildest dreams would have guessed I would want a MINI VAN. They were always for soccer moms of 4 kids, the stay at home room mother, or the mom trying to parallel park while talking on a CELL PHONE. (which always really annoyed me the most.) Hang up the phone before you kill someone lady.

I have almost always had a compact 2 door car. Especially in my younger more HIP days. I even flew to Dallas to buy a RED ECLIPSE, black interior and an awesome loud stereo system because I could not find it here. So a MINI VAN has never been in my brain until last year.

Now having 2 children and all the stuff that goes with them (Bags, diapers and friends) I realize that I NEED SPACE. We have been looking at these for a year now. I finally sat in one on Friday and I got the fever. (CAR FEVER) Then I have to tell myself that we have NO car payment at this time. Which is AWESOME. I think of all the stuff we could buy with that money we would be spending on a car payment. That is when the CAR FEVER wears off!

Cute Cupcakes!

I was surfing blogs yesterday and came across these cute cupcakes and I just had to show them. My sister-in-law has really gotten me interested in cupcake decorating. I asked Ashley this morning if I could make these for her birthday in January. Uh- she said NO WAY! She thinks they are not cool enough for her. She said "what about for Charlie" . I guess I'll have to wait and have him a monkey birthday next summer. Darn I really want to make these !!!!

Recipe Tuesday: Loaded Potatoes

These potatoes are Henry's favorite. They aren't all that great for you so we don't have them very often, but they are really easy to make and don't really have a "recipe" per say.

Ingredients:

Potatoes (I use red potatoes with the skin on them)
Bacon (I usually fry the bacon and chop it, but I was out this day and used bacon chips from a jar. They worked Great too!
Green onion
Sour cream
Butter
Cheddar cheese shredded

I cube my potatoes into about Fourths
and cook them until tender.

Meanwhile I chop my green onion (I use 1-2 white and green)
about 1/2 bag of shredded cheese
2 heaping spoon fulls of sour cream and butter
1/4 c. of bacon pieces.

I put all of these on a serving bowl while my potatoes cook.
when the potatoes are done, drain the water and add them to the bowel.
Let them sit for a few minutes to let the heat from the potatoes melt the cheese, butter and sour cream.

Then mix well and serve.

This is such an easy side dish that goes well with anything.
We had baked ham, baked beans and crescent rolls with it last night. It sure was good.

Random Picture Monday: Bottoms Up

Charlie decided he had enough of his diaper tonight, and pulled it off. We all of a sudden saw a naked baby running through the living room and into his room. I had to grab my camera to catch it. it took me several shots to get the "behind". Here's my little baby buns. AREN'T THEY CUTE!
