Well, I am attempting to cook dried beans again. This time I put them on high heat instead of low. I hope they cook all the way through and taste good. They certainly smell good. The smell has permeated the whole house. I think I know one of the reasons why the last batch didn't do so well. I have two crock pots. The one in which I cooked the last batch of beans has been messing up. A few months ago, I cooked a pot roast in it while my in-laws were here. It wasn't cooked all the way through even though it had been in the crock pot for about 8-9 hours. This has happened on a few occasions but not all the time. Sometimes it works fine. Thank goodness I have two crock pots and the other works great (even though I have had it longer). I'll let you know how they turn out.
Hannah had her first field trip of the year. All of the Second Grade classes went to a local farm called Cedar Hill Farms. There, they rode ponies, saw the chicken put on a show, watched pig races, walked through a corn maze, petted animals in the petting zoo, played on the playground and ate a good lunch. I didn't get to go on this trip with her because I had Andrew and Mike had to work. It's probably a good thing because it was really muddy and dirty there. It rained all day yesterday and was really foggy and a bit chilly for most of the morning. Gracie's mom, Alicia, went and said a lot of the kids were muddy after going through the corn maze. Since I went on Will's field trip and wasn't able to go on Hannah's, I told her that either Mike or I one would go with her on her next trip out. I can't wait!!
