So yesterday, Halloween, we were headed out to a party. The kids were dressed and ready. For a month I've been telling them that in our family, really only the kids get dressed up. Mom and Dad just go as Mom and Dad.
Well Husband threw together a ridiculous looking Mexican wrestler outfit at the last minute which left me as the only uncostumed one. I'm fine with that. Mommies are used to being the party poopers.
So I was finishing up getting ready and felt like I was having a good hair and make-up day when Curly asked me what I was going to be for the party. Feeling happy with my appearance I said "I'm a super model."
Doubtfully, she looked me up and down and said "Well, I think you are going to need a lot more make-up, then" and walked out.
Thanks. Thank a lot. Good thing my self esteem does not lie in the hands of my seven year old!

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!
