I feel bad! I have a cough and woke up with a bad sore throat. But, it's spring break so I don't have to go to work and since we are sick of eating out, I decided to try baking potatoes in the crock pot.
First I washed and dried the potatoes and then I rubbed them with olive oil.
Then I rubbed them with salt! Here is where the hum comes in! I noticed that the olive oil and salt mixed together felt just like my $20 Instant Manicure I buy from Beauticontrol. I am definitely going to start using this instead - cha-ching!
Then I wrapped it in foil and put it in the crock pot. I have been told that it is a huge mistake to add water, so I didn't. But I seriously thought about it because I love to do what I am told not to do just so I can see what will happen!
They are suppose to cook on low for eight hours or so.
Then...since I had already started with my homemade manicure concoction, I finished the job!
And eight hours later, they came out just right! Topped with butter,cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and fajita meat - really good! And we had left over guacamole and chips from LaUnica. Yummy!!!

I love this time of year. I love having more daylight in the evening. I love the feel of cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon. I love pullin
g out my summertime clothes and getting dressed each morning. I love SPRING. The best part of spring in Texas is bluebonnets. However, one year I will learn that no matter how many beautiful pictures I can take of other people's children in the bluebonnets, it just isn't in my cards to get one of mine. This morning we woke up and went to church (the kids were in good, clean clothes.) After church, we decided to try to get a few shots of them in the bluebonnets. We ran by the house, grabbed my camera, and bribed them with lunch as a reward for taking beautiful shots. I probably should have eaten a bite then. Anyone who knows me knows that not eating mixed with 
my hypoglycemia makes me a very cranky momma. Things were actually going pretty well until Reagan saw her first bug. From there things went drastically do
wnhill. She wouldn't lay in the blubonnets of even put her hands on the ground. I pretty much just got pictures of her sitting there whining. Also, Connor has had several visits from the tooth fairy lately which means he didn't want to smile and show teeth. And throw the diva, Mason, who thinks he is God's gift to the camera. All together, that makes for one interesting photo shoot. By the time we got in the car, Richard was saying, "Really Emily? Really!" If you know him, you realize that is unlike his laid back personality. I did manage to get a few shots - which are here. The last picture is my absolute favorite - don't you agree?
