Pizza but no campfire
We had the pizza but not the campfire last night.Our plan was to go to our nephew’s baseball game then come home for a fire and camp pie maker pizzas. Our nephew’s game was to be in the early evening and so we figured we had plenty of time.
Well, when we got to the field we found out the game had been moved back over an hour later.
I had packed snacks and water bottles for the family but I knew we were going to need supper. What to do, what to do?
$5 pizza to the rescue. The local chain pizza parlor sells pick-up-and-go large pizzas for $5 and we had a card that entitled us to free breadsticks. Mr. Steady keeps an “extra” five dollars tucked away in a crevice in his wallet and I had the change for tax. We keep a roll of paper towels in the trunk of the car (stand-in plates). I also keep an extra pair of scissors in the car- which I used to cut each piece of pizza in half.
So it was an impromptu pizza picnic on the sidelines for supper last night. The kids all thought it was incredibly fun.
Cheap fun—all the better.
A ball game and a pizza picnic- $5.30.

The Wagner Clan
My Husband (DH)-Mr. Steady
My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.
DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.
DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.
DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
