now don't get too cocky

*My huge nap success (and therefore cockiness about the ease of the whole transition) in the big boy bed ended abruptly today. After screaming off and on for 45 minutes, we finally got him up. Then literally 5 minutes later he was asleep in the car on our way to Costco. Sigh. We'll try again tomorrow!!

*It snowed several times today. Very pretty...although I'm ready for our normal weather again. :)

*"Damages" is probably the best show I have ever seen as far as the amazingly thrilling plot, great acting, and the way they hook you in week after week!

*Last week at Costco we got a bag of Gnocchies (tiny potato dumpling things). We have ordered this dish at Maggiano's twice, served with a Tomato Cream sauce. Our dish turned out ok. Not great though. Maybe we need to try a different kind of sauce.

*When you have to go to the bathroom really bad, boy is that feeling compounded by a little one kicking and kicking you!

I have a really yummy recipe for gnocchi if you want it. It has a Gruyere sauce with bacon. We love it.

The snow today was stunning!!!!

Too bad about the big boy bed...I guess it seemed too good to be true because it was...too good to be true! :o)

Olive Garden has a chicken and Gnocchi soup that I absolutely love!!! I know that a lot of people in the south use dumplings in their soup... you should be able to find some recipes for soup : )

Hang in there with the big boy bed... If he did it once he -proved to you he can do it again.

Miss you all!!

I cook gnocchi in olive oil in a skillet and make them a little crunchy, then stir in a light pesto sauce. Its delicious! And super easy!
