How to Host A Party for 13 Year Old Boys
Air-soft Gun Wars in the Back Yard |
What to do, what to do? My son Grant had been saving his money for quite some time to buy a new air-soft gun. Finally it hit me. Most of Grant's friends also had air-soft guns. We could host a birthday/air-soft gun party. We have a large fenced in back yard so they could play the games there. The only problem is, there wouldn't be anywhere for safety or places to hide. This is when my creativity started coming out. Grant and I decided to build bases and forts out of free pallets. We also found an old dump pile with some thrown out siding. We had some paint we were not using in the garage, so we put all our free products together to create a fabulous birthday extravaganza.

Basic Dough
I use this dough recipe to make just about everything. Bread, pizza, rolls, bread sticks, etc. Just add a little more flour if you are making bread, less flour for rolls. Remember, the stickier the dough the lighter the roll.
3 cupts of very hot water as hot as you can from your tap |
Add on Tablespoon of Yeast
|
Add 1/3 cup of Sugar. Sugar makes the yeast happy. |
Add 1/3 Cup of Oil. The yeast doesn't mind company. |
No Reason to wait, go ahead and add 1 teaspoon of salt |
Spray the counter so the dough doesn't stick.No reason to add more flour so spray grease is a much better option for working with the dough. |

Check Engine-Joke of the Day
Singing In the Abbey
I had to post this because I find it so funny. I laugh, but only because it is one of my favorite movies of all time. There is nothing better than the Sound of Music.

A Harmless Prank
Maybe I have watched too many spy movies, but for some reason I find this to be very funny. I don't think I would really do it, but just the thought of it makes me giggle.
Gardening To Do List
Ok, so if I'm being honest, I have a lot of work to do in my yard in order for it to be as dreamy as I would like. In an ideal world, all the wonderful pins that I see on pinterest would be fast, easy, cheap, and really work.
This is what my yard looks like today.
I know that some of the gardening tips might even be a miss in Nebraska, but ultimately work for you elsewhere. For instance, my back yard is right next to a dry wooded river bed. It is beautiful in the summer, but it gets very overgrown and all kinds of animal life call it home. It makes it hard to plant and grow things when every time I turn my back something is digging or eating my harvest.
An example is one that I blogged about earlier.
