New dinner recipe

Made some more chocolate covered pretzel rods yesterday with m&m when Mason got home from school (yum!). I never realized how easy it was to make these. Mom, why didn't we make these things years ago?! I did burn a hole in one of my Tupperware containers though. I guess I had the chocolate melting in the microwave for too long. Oops. ;) Later, we are taking some over to the neighbors to share. Hope they like!

I also found a new crockpot recipe yesterday to make for dinner. I chose chicken and dumplings since it took 5-6 hours to cook in the crock pot and not 8 hours. I needed some time to run to Shoprite and I didn't feel like eating dinner at 8pm. I loveeee my crock pot though! I'm not the best cook in the world (poor Matt), so it makes my days SO much easier. I found it off of one of my favorite crock pot recipe websites ~ http://www.crockpotgirls.com/. Their recipes are simple and easy to make (just my style!), and most of the ingredients listed don't cost much (another plus). I'll definitely be making this again. The only thing that I did differently that wasn't listed on the recipe itself was that I shredded the chicken in the crock pot before I served it. That lliterally took a minute. I'll post the recipe below. Another yum for the day!

I love to quote my kids as many of you have figured out by now. I want to remember the cute things that they say, so here goes another one. While we were sitting at the dinner table, Mason started talking about school (to stall from eating his dinner I'm sure). He told me that his class went outside to play today and that they played a game called ghost and then duck duck goose. He went on and on and what I got from what he was telling me was that there was a boy outside who was sitting by himself. He looked sad so Mason went up to him and asked him if he wanted to play and then the boy got happy because he had someone to play with. Hearing this little story from my little boy sure did make me one proud Mama. :)
