Today was a busy one. My hubby surprised us all with a huge Memorial Day gift. The gift of a pool. (This is what happens when your hubby goes to Sam’s without his wife.) He came home with hopes that the box was correct in its claim that assembly is “as easy as 1-2-3.” More like 3 hours later….sunburned and sore.
You might see that there is a bit of a slant to the yard…well we are using the “force” and feel pretty confident that this is going to end badly. However, we love to make a “memory” and I really feel like this is destined to be a classic. So stay tuned for more pool updates…
The one shining star to pool assembly day was when I made these little dandies! 
I was craving an ice cream sandwich and Chips Ahoy and Breyers ice cream worked perfectly! I especially loved the American Summer Chips Ahoy’s because of the patriotic chips! These will be perfect to use for the 4th of July!! Feel free to get creative with your ice cream sandwiches! Have you tried the new fudge filled Chips Ahoy cookies? Well hello lover they are heaven! Simply delicious and then to imagine putting ice cream between them might just send me over the moon. Another super tip is to mix it up on your sides… I love to roll the sides of my ice cream sandwiches in mini chocolate chips. Make a bunch of these little dandy’s and freeze ahead of time for impromptu swim parties with the kids! I guarantee you will become the coolest Mom on the block!
Looks pretty good to me! My sister put one up on a 20 deg slope and it stayed all summer until one of her very large boys…200+ lb jumped off the hood of his pickup and the down hill side collapsed! Not good. Yay! Summer fun!
Sam saw the picture of the pool and said he wants to come to Aunt CeCe’s house and go swimming!
