Mommy/Daughter Time

By Pamela
My girl loves Disney. She really loves the Princesses!  Jasmine is her favorite. When her Daddy and I saw an advertisement for Disney on Ice last week,  I knew I was going to try and get her tickets to the show.

We scored great seats (Thank you Craigslist!). Then we made plans with our BFF's and we headed out! In the rain, no less.
The show included Alice in Wonderland. This was one of the coolest parts. The numbers line up numerically.

Peter Pan came flying in and so did Tinkerbell. She even sprinkled pixy dust all over, it helped us fly home at the end of the night!
The Loin King came on after intermission. (I kinda felt like the first half drug by and then they rushed the second half.) 



Snow White was there! And the Seven Dwarfs. The Short Chic loved it when Sneezy blew down all the other Dwarfs.
Oh and Thank Goodness Rapunzel and Flynn Rider were there! ( I think she got a hair cut.) I loved the floating lanterns.

And then Miss Olivia's favorite came on! Princess Jasmine and Aladdin!! As soon as my girl saw her she sat up properly in her chair and never took her eyes off of Jasmine. I honestly think she thought Princess Jasmine would look right down on her and say, "Hi Short Chic!"

I think we are ready to go to Disneyland/Disneyworld. THAT is a whole other post, I am sure!


Jasmine and Aladdin on the magic carpet. The Short Chic thinks when she is grows up she is going to marry her brother. I think it is cute. Well, right now, when she is four it is cute. We will talk about the legalities of it later. But for now, she thinks Aladdin is her brother and Jasmine is her.


Princess Tiana was there doing some might fine skating!

I was a little disappointed with the finale. Yes, ALL the Princesses were there (even Mulan) but they only went to one side. So we got to see half of the Princesses and did not get to see the other half. Boo!


This Princess Aurora was super tall. This picture does not really show it but man, she was tall!

My Short Chic with her Mickey Mouse ears on.

My Short Chic and her BFF Little Mess. They enjoyed another year of Disney on Ice!

For the record, I had wanted to have Mommy/Son time the very next day. I wanted to take The Boy to see The Hunger Games, but he went to his Dad's house for the weekend.  Then he told me it was okay for me to go without him (I am guessing he did not want to see it as much as me).

Tour of Missouri: Montauk State Park and The Ozark National Scenic Riverway

By Pamela
August has become our summer vacation month. Summer activities have usually wound down and we like to get one last hooray in before school starts.  This summer we decided to travel our own state and visit a few places we have been dreaming of visiting but were a little too far for a weekend road trip. Despite last minute vacation glitches we managed to pull out of Kansas City around 9:00 in the morning headed to Montauk State Park just outside of Licking, Missouri.  Montauk State Park is one of three state parks where you can trout fish in Missouri. We are frequent visitors of  Bennett Springs  State Park but not Montauk, just because of the travel distance from our house. (Bennett Springs is about 3 hours and Montauk is double that.) Setting up and settling in was relatively easy. We took a tour of the park and hiked around exploring the spring that feeds into the river. The Park stocks this river each night with trout. The fishermen like this river be...

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

By Pamela
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

By Pamela
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...
