Books....
I've finished the 2nd half of a book today, and read another one. It's only 7:20 p.m. and the kids are playing the WII on the t.v. and I don't want to do any more chores. So, what I'm wondering is, how bad would it be if I read another book today? Because it's early enough that I know I will finish it, because I have no patience to wait till tomorrow, you know? Why you sit here and debate on that, I'm getting a book.

Margaret is so old!
Yes, it's true. My baby had the gall to turn 3. What is up with that? She was supposed to stay a darling 2 year old for forever! We just had a small party at home with grandma. She didn't even want cake or cupcakes, just ice cream. Is this girl looking out for her mother or what? She sure made my life easy with that (note in the picture, her ice cream is in a tupperware. Yep, no clean bowls. That's the kind of day I was having). She got a swimsuit for her big day, as you may notice in the photos, because she had to wear it immediately and at least once a day since :).
Love this girl!
Slimy Teeth
Hannah got her braces off! She says her teeth feel slimy. Haha! Now she has retainers that make her lisp. It's pretty funny.

Uh-Oh
Been working on my Relief Society lesson on tragedy/adversity. Been crying. A lot. Not sure how well this lesson is going to go.

Confetti Twice Baked Potatoes
This recipe turned out delicious! I had the leftovers for lunch today, and that's what made me decide to post the recipe (it was soooo good!).
My changes to the original are in (). When I make this next time, I'll make half with no onions or bell peppers for my picky kids. They all said they'd give it a 8 or 9 out of 10 without so many veggies :). Sigh. I keep trying.
Ingredients:
§ 12 medium Yukon gold potatoes (I used 9 Russet because they're cheaper)
§ 2 cups or more rice or nonfat soy milk (I used less than this...just however much I thought I needed to make the potatoes nice and creamy)
§ 1 16-ounce bag frozen corn
§ 2 cups green chopped onions (I used 4 chopped green onions; so, a lot less)
§ 2 large red bell peppers, seeded and chopped (2 cups) (I did one red one. It seemed like enough)
§ 1 teaspoon garlic granules or chopped fresh garlic pepper, to taste
(I did 4 cloves fresh minced garlic)
(I added a couple of tablespoons of non dairy cream cheese)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Scrub potatoes, pierce with a knife, and bake for 1 hour.
3. Remove potatoes from the oven, carefully cut in half, scoop out insides into a large mixing bowl, and arrange skins in a baking dish (we used a tray).
4. Whip hot potatoes, adding milk slowly until quite soft. If you're using non dairy cream cheese, add it now)
5. Add corn, green onions, red bell peppers, garlic, and pepper. Mix well.
6. Place potato mixture into potato skins.
7. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.

So stinkin' cute.
What else is there to say? Little Margaret has us all wrapped around her little finger. Which is another reason why I let her wear this dress 3 days in a row last week. I can't say no. Oh boy, this is how the baby of the family gets to be so spoiled! But seriously, even Hannah texted me when she was babysitting at home to tell me how cute Margaret was being. Love, love, love this girl!
