Saturday Snapshot

Look at my cute man enjoying his handywork. We really wanted a double deck chair so while this kids are swimming we can lounge in comfort. Everything we priced was more than we wanted to spend. So for around $250 we were able to make this ourselves. We checked a couple of books out of the library that had chaise lounges in them and Bill created this masterpiece. It is the size of a king size bed! I made the cover for the pad out of sunbrella and the otherside has pretty red and blue flowers on in. It reclines into 3 different angles and then lays flat also. It is awesome! We can fit everyone on it if we want.
Thank you Bill! It is great! You are amazing!

I couldn't resist this shot! We got up early this morning and it was just the three of us and so we decided to make rice krispie treats! James wanted to stir and the pan kept sliding so Billie walked over and grabbed the handles so it wouldn't slide. This team work at its finest!

Editors Note: Bill said these were the best rice krispies he has ever had! So here is my recipe to share for all. (and for me to remember how I made them).

2 bags of jet puffed marshmallows (not the mini ones)
1 stick of Butter (real butter for this girl)

Melt together in a big deep pan stirring constantly

12 cups of rice Krispie cereal waiting in a big fat thatsa bowl

The first thing I do is pour about 5 cups of the cereal into the mixture on the stove to "pre-mix" then I pour that all out over the rice krispies in the bowl and mix until all combined. I poured it into a 9 x 13 casserole dish and a square 10 x 10 tupperware container. To make it nice and flat and pretty I get my hands wet with hot water and press it down. (My hands are wet, not dripping, but wet) I makes the top nice and pretty and I don't have sticky hands. I have also used the butter wrapper to press it down. Enjoy!
