I love rainy Sundays. All the kids slept in because the tick tick tick of raindrops on their windows lulls them into longer sleep. Husband had a early morning Fantasy League Baseball draft (the guy equivalent of blogging, I guess) so he was up with the kids once they did wake and I slept until after 9. We lounged around for a while, then I took a leisurely, uninterrupted shower before we headed out to lunch as a family, minus sleeping Peanut and sick BabyGirl (thanks Grampy!) We came back, played a group game of Duck Duck Goose and now the kids are all entertaining each other while I blog and Husband dozes on the couch.
Of course I have things to do. And I need to go to the store to pick up a few things. But ya know, I really don't want to. We don't have totally sweet, lazy, downtime days very often. I think I'm going to go cuddle a baby and doze with one ear open. It sounds perfectly lazy and lovely.

Recipe of the Whenever I Get Around to Changing It.
Crockpot Tapioca Pudding (by request)
Ingredients:
2 quarts of 1% milk (half-gallon)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup small pearl tapioca (The only place I found it was Raley's)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
In a four quart or larger size crockpot, combine the milk, sugar, and tapioca pearls. Stir well to mix. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours. You are looking for the tapioca to be soft and kind of slimy. The mixture will not be very thick, but that's how it's supposed to be. Even if it is thick, that's ok too.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with the vanilla. Take a 1/2 cup of the hot milk and tapioca mixture and whisk it into the egg bowl. Add another 1/2 cup of the hot milk and tapioca, and whisk that into the eggs, too. Then add yet another. Now you'll have a bowl of yellowy tapioca/egg mix.
Pour the contents of the egg/tapioca mix into the crockpot, and whisk until it is all well mixed.
Cover your crockpot and cook on high for another 30-45 minutes, or until the tapioca is pudding-like in consistency. Unplug and let it sit for about an hour to cool.
Ladle into serving-size bowls and chill in the refrigerator.
Or eat it hot hot hot right out of your crockpot. That's how we do it. So yummy on rainy Fall and Winter days.
Enjoy!
