BEDA #6 birthday fun for a new 9 year old

Hello,

Today a grandson turned 9.  

When I woke up,  I saw this balloon arch with a baseball theme, constructed by his mom and aunt, while I slept. 

Fourteen of us had burgers cooked in the house because it was too windy to grill,  pasta salad, chips and dip for supper.

Dessert was an ice cream sandwich cake. It’s just unwrapped ice cream sandwiches put in whatever size container you want in layers. 

In between the layers and on top, we put whipped topping, chocolate syrup and a magic shell. This frozen treat can be made whatever size you like. 

Ours was in a 13 x 9 container and used about  18 ice cream sandwiches.

The magic shell turns hard and it was pretty hard for the younger eaters to cut. So we decided that if we make it again we will just use hot fudge or caramel topping or some thing that does not get as hard as magic shell.

I think there’s nine year old had a very happy birthday!

BEDA #5 Dollar Tree is now $1.25 Tree but it’s still good

Hello everyone

I went to Dollar Tree today for the first time in months,  maybe since before Christmas. 

I’d heard they were increasing their prices and I don’t see how they could prevent it.  

So now, instead of most everything being $1, things are $1.25 

I just wish at the grocery store that every price increase was only a quarter.  

Here’s what I bought 

6 shelf stable quarts of  milk 

Mini Oreos for a birthday ice cream cake 

4 packs of disposable plates

Furniture polish 

Some turtles to wear inside face masks- I still wear a mask sometimes, like at my parents retirement home and yesterday when I went to the dentist and eye dr.  Masks are required at all those places.  And who can predict The future and who knows if masks will ever be a common thing again? Hopefully not but for $1.25 I thought a package of six turtles was a good deal.

2 9 x 13 food containers - I bought these before and they hold up very well. I know one of ours got switched over to hold perlor  beads. 

6 Packages of lip balm 

About the furniture polish,  I cleaned our dining table with it and it seemed to do as good a job as Pledge and Endust. It is made in the USA. The brand is Chase. It has a mild orange scent.

Tammy I’ve never frozen pizza dough with any success but I know Dawn makes and freezes ready to bake pizza and I think Terri freezes pizza dough.
