The Pumper's Wife

So it’s no secret that the Kubiks like baseball.  We might even be considered a little nutty about the sport.  If you read my post about constructing our own backyard baseball field you might have some idea about our love.   In our opnion, there is nothing more fun than watching baseball whether it is our own boys out on the field or our Kansas City boys in blue.  But the madness doesn’t stop there…I have dreams of redoing our basement  someday with furniture like this: And adding apparel to my wardrobe with shoes like this:  But I gotta say I have to draw the line with stuff like this….there is even a limit for me…kinda… Yeah, we might have a little bit of an obsession problem.  And after reading the rest of this blog post, you might think I’m headed down the path that leads right to being institutionalized, but I’m going to write it anyway!! I couldn’t help but think how there are countless analogies of how baseball is like life, but to

So this weekend I did something wild and crazy!!!  I mean – we are talking NUTS!  I made a video about how toilet paper breaks down in water.  Seriously…how crazy am I? I know, slow me down!  Before you know it I’m going to be on a “toilet paper gone wild” video and be embarrassed for the rest of my life…or not.  Oh how my life (and times) have changed!  What I now consider wild and crazy – not so much!  Though I make fun of my video, I loved doing it.  First of all, it allowed me to do my own science experiment and feel a little “teacher-y” again.  Second, it was just fun!  I can’t take all the credit for this though.  My amazing nephew was really the brains behind the whole thing.  He is a techy wizard.  This precious kid drove 2 hours to come help his old aunt make a video…about toilet paper….toilet paper….could there BE a better kid on the planet?  (Did I mention he helped me make a video about  t-o-i-l-e-t p-a-p-e-r??)  Sometimes I really have to sit back and remi

My kiddos were off school last week so we did what any family would over spring break…we made a baseball field in our back yard!  Our family really loves baseball and as I write this post, the Kansas City Royals have their season opener TODAY!!! The Kubik’s can hardly wait!  We are HUGE Royals fans and have been for a long time.  We try to take the boys down to Kansas City at least once a summer for a game.  Our boys belong to the Blue Crew Club so every year we get a jersey, a hat, and a coupon book of things to do at Kauffman.  October of 2014 was a very memorable year for the our family.  We don’t miss many Royal’s games, but last post season, I don’t think we missed a game! The final play of the World Series 2014 when Alex Gordon was on 3 rd base our entire family was inches away from the TV screen yelling at him to go home!!  Needless to say, a baseball field in our backyard will be a beloved feature had by the whole family! What cracked me up is due to our profession, we ha
