EA and MC had an opportunity to test their driving skills at the LegoLand.

And we discovered that they have none.

They kept the attendant busy during their time on the track. Busy getting their car going again after crashing into each other and the wall time and time again. And busy showing them how to steer and press the gas pedal at the same time.

It’s hard work.

Bless her heart, she was very patient with them, though.

Let’s just say that I pity the person that has to teach these girls how to drive a car. That’s a job I’ll gladly hand over to their Daddy when the time comes.

They were so proud to receive their licenses!

We are THAT Family is hosting a special Summer Recipe Edition of Works for Me Wednesday, so I thought I would share one of my favorite summer desserts. I almost said my favorite, but I don’t know that I can say I have one favorite recipe. This one would be at the top of my list, though.

This layered cake is guaranteed to be a hit whenever you make it. It’s my first choice to take to summer potlucks and get-togethers.

And it’s super-easy to make…..no cooking required in your hot kitchen!

1st Layer:
2 C. graham cracker crumbs or vanilla wafers (I usually use graham cracker crumbs)
1 stick margarine
1/2 C. powdered sugar

Mix cookie crumbs and melted margarine, or graham cracker crumbs, margarine, and sugar.

Press into 9 x 13 inch pan for crust.

2nd Layer:
2 C. powdered sugar
2 egg whites
1 stick margarine

Beat sugar, egg whites, and margarine together for 10 minutes and pour over first layer.

3rd Layer:
4-5 bananas
1 large can crushed pineapple–drained
1 large container Cool Whip
Chopped walnuts
Cherries (completely optional–I don’t use them)

Slice bananas over top of 2nd layer of cake.

Spread pineapple over bananas and Cool Whip over all.

Top with nuts and cherries.

Refrigerate.

I promise it will not take long for this dessert to disappear and if it stays around past the first serving, you’ll be sneaking into the kitchen to sneak spoonfulls out of the pan. Or is it just me that does that??

Decorating is not my strong suit. It never has been and it probably never will really be. I do an adequate job, but professional decorator I am not.

But I have been ready for a change to our bathroom for quite a while. So, a couple of weeks ago I went browsing through my favorite online country decorating store, PiperClassics and found just what I was looking for.

Before:

I’ve had this shower cutrain since the girls were babies. It was in our guest bathroom by their nursery. Now we don’t have a guest bathroom at all.

And this was my lovely bathroom trash can…yes, a diaper pail. YUCK!

After:

New Heritage Star Shower Curtain….it looks just perfect. I love that it goes along with the decor in the rest of the house.

Berry vines were placed above the mirror.

I hung a new barn star hand towel ring. I didn’t have a ring for the hand towel before! And brought in a berry wreath from the kitchen. Oh, I also got a new coordinating hand towel.

I brought in a large barn star from the living room. Redecorating doesn’t have to cost a fortune when you can scrounge up item from other places in your home!

And ta-da…..

….the bathroom now has a cute, matching waste basket!!

I love my new bathroom!!!
