Happy Monday--Yes, it is!

Last weeks' posts I did not go into too much detail about some of the things that had happened. Here is something that went on Wednesday. Thursday was Alexis's ThanksGiving day party at School--and on Wednesday every child was assigned to bring in a veggie to make a stew--we were to bring in Celery and Garlic---when I was at the store I got them both--CHECK! Okay I am room mom with another mother--she called Wednesday morning to let me know her daughter was ill and that she was wondering if I could swing by her house before school and pick up her Crockpot for the party--I told her, I would just bring mine. Problem solved--or so I thought.

I was walking to my daughter's class pushing the baby in his stroller with one hand and holding on to the crockpot which was in my other hand--it was in a bag--well the stroller started to veer so I went to use my other hand and that is when it happened--the bag slipped and the crockpot CRASHED on to the pavement--it was a loud shatter--I didn't even have to look--my crockpot was broke. I ended up going to the other mother's home and picking up her crockpot---and as I went back to the school the lady parked next to me locked her baby in the car--oh my, that was a frantic situation, thank goodness for our wonderful fire department, they were there in minutes to unlock the car and get the baby out--it was a hot day too----

So, I call my Grandma and tell her all about my day--

I went to her house on Friday and look at what she got me---This BEAUTIFUL SLOW COOKER!!!! She said she bought it for me just *because*

Isn't it just glorious!

Look at the little tags to slide in to tell everyone what the dish is--neat-o, huh? I was nursing the baby early one morning and caught the infomercial for this crockpot, and just loved it--my Grandmother had no idea I had my eye on this appliance..LOL. It came with a bunch of recipes too that I am planning on trying--of course, I will blog about the recipes with pictures .

....and then-----I just found out she subscribes to *TASTE of Home* She was getting rid of some of the magazines when I told her I wanted them---LOOKY at what I got---YAY!!!!

I can not wait to try out some of these yummy recipes--and can you see some of the darling cookies? I will share the recipes and pictures when I make them:)
