Yesterday I ended up having a house full of kids all day.  I babysat Sammy our neighbor while her mom took the older kids of the movie Harry Potter.  My SIL Julie brought over her three kids at 9:00 am and they ened up being here until about 8:30pm…LOL!!  That is usually how it works.   I had put a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup on and I think it turned out pretty good.  Below is the recipe if your interested………………………………….:)
