Wednesday Weekly Review in Instagram

This week {Wednesday to Wednesday} was much slower than last week. Big thankful exhale!

1.My Short Chic riding a pony at a 4th of July celebration. She did not want any help from her Daddy at all.
2. My "just because" gift from my wonderful Husband, not the ipad, but the Zappo wireless keyboard for the ipad. Can I tell you, it is awesome and amazing!
3. POOL PARTY! As if that could not be any better, it occurred on the hottest day yet of the year!.
4. We broke out the cotton candy machine at the pool party. The Husband figured out the best spinning technique and gave The Short Chic a large portion of cotton candy!

5. The temperature gunge on the hottest day. Soon after I took this the temperature raised another degree!

6. My exciting Saturday night, spent at home with the cutest little girl coloring. That is called contempt.

7. A summer week would not be complete without baseball. Games, Practice, entertainment!

8. The Boy at FanFest purchasing more Evoshield. This is his new digital camo wrist guard.

9. Friday night, we were sitting at home being bored. So, I went to the store and picked up new paint and started painting the bathroom. The color: Bermuda Bay. Accented with white and black.
10. Sunday was all about FanFest! You can catch more about that here.
11. Monday, The Short Chic spent the day with her cousins and second cousins. On the way home she started to doze off. I commented to her that she looked tired. She looked at me and said, "I have worked hard...all day long! Immediately after, she passed out for the night!
12. Tuesday brought our longest driving lesson. The good news: he has gotten better so that I can take a photo of him (at a stoplight). The bad news: he still hugs the edge, drives too fast, and takes those corners a little too fast for my liking!

Have a great week. See you next week!

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget. Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world. In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things. What is it? Well, it is a German food that is actually called Leberkase. It is bacon, corned beef, pork, and onion that is ground together and baked. It comes with a

Tonsillectomy (Warning Photos!)

The Short Chic came down with a pretty nasty case of strep throat back in April. So, when The Boy started complaining about his throat hurting about 12 days later, I was pretty confident that he had inherited his sister's strep. Instead, The Boy was diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess growing on his right tonsil. We had to immediately see an ENT Physician who took a needle and drained the abscess. He removed about 5.5 cc of puss from The Boys throat.and then told us that once you have a peritonsillar abscess you were high risk to keep getting them. The Boy's tonsils were now compromised and needed to be removed. We were told to plan for a two week recovery so we worked a surgery into our summer plans. Between family vacations, summer sports, and the beginning of school The Boy had his second surgery. A tonsillectomy. Pre-surgery prepping went well. It must be nice to be young and have healthy veins for an IV! The Boy had lots of pre-surgery visitors. My
