Crazy for my crockpot!

Yesterday I made a delicious crockpot lasagna and today I made pulled BBQ pork and some "chunky applesauce".  I made the apples for our afternoon snack and they were GREAT!  I haven't had the pulled pork yet.  We have a few hours before that is ready.  It's smelling good though.  I don't know what took me so long to fall in love with my crockpots.  They are truly a lifesaver.  I was having problems because I was sending Jared to get something quick (usually fast food) for us at night because I was to tired/lazy to cook.  I figured I needed to stop spending and eating like that.  These crockpots have saved my sanity.  I've also pulled out my "fix it and forget it lightly" cookbook.  I have a couple of recipes planned and the apples were from the dessert section of this one.  I made the pulled pork because I had a seasoning packet for it and I've never made it before.  I didn't even know what kind of meat to buy.   Talk about naive.

Makena has been a sleep-a-holic the last few days, and I'm loving it.  She must be going through a growth spurt, and I'm pretty sure it's those 2 year molars that are doing the growing.  I haven't seen her fingers in her mouth this much except for when she was a "baby".  Poor thing.  She was eating, well pretending to, the other day and she put in a bite of food and started bawling.  I felt so bad for her since there was nothing I could do.  Yes, I could give her Tylenol or something, but I wasn't certain that was the problem.  She had woken up early that day and had been grumpy the whole morning.

I should get some other things done around here, granted supper is already made, hehe, but there are other chores that need to be done.
