dinner is in the pot.

Yes, it's going into the 90s today. Yes it's almost perfect grilling whether. Yes I'm obsessed with grilled food. Yes, I'm using the croc-pot for dinner tonight.
It's not even lunch-time and dinner is cooking. For the first year of the twins life we practically lived on croc-pot meals. It was a survivors tool. We learned that when juggling more than one child the croc-pot can be a life-saver. Paul and I are big on eating dinner as a family. It is a rare occasion that we don't all eat together. Sports schedules can jeopardize the family meal, but the strong willed can still make it happen. Thus, the croc-pot.
Today is the Last Day of School!!! Kids should be home any minute. It's Friday. We always celebrate a Friday. Stephen has t-ball practice. Lot's going on in the Anderson House today. So what are we having for dinner?

Drumroll please......
