Yesterday was a crazy day. We had our family reunion on my side. I got busy and didn't get to post :( I hate those kind of busy days. Tonight Brad's sister Roni's coming. This is the sister who just graduated a few weeks ago and Brad flew to California to see it. She's been visiting other family here in Missouri and has been texting Brad. She's not enjoying our humidity! It rained today and the humidity's terrible. She hasn't been here since she was about 12 and now she's 17, so I'm excited to see her. The kids are so excited they are driving me INSANE! So, right now I'm multi-tasking. Roni's on her way, Brad's grilling and I'm trying to finish the sides, set the table, and do this post. We had these potato skins last night. Yes, another yummy taco-ish recipe! It's been a while :) This was really good and I saved the insides of the potatoes for tonights potato salad. Enjoy!
