Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!


We started the celebrations with the ceremonial end of season pumpkin baseball game. One of our favorite times of the year...of course, the boys in my house love any game that involves smashing things! *Ü*


The lineup!


Nicholas was up first with two 'smashing' hits!


Oh what a mess!


Next up Benjamin, he wanted to hit the small pumpkins first. Not too much mess from those.


So he went for a bigger one and yep, he's wearing a lot of it on his face!


Never one to sit on the sidelines, next at bat was dad! Standing guard over the situation is Sarah the retriever, catcher and fetcher. Oh how she loves this game!



And taking one for the team - mom, the pitcher who wore a little bit of every smashed pumpkin on her face, in her hair, you name it! Oh the things she will do for her family!
That's it folks, the 2011 ceremonial end of season pumpkin baseball game highlights!

Thank goodness that is over for another year! I hope none of those seeds sprout pumpkins in the back yard!


Another thing I'm thankful for is a job that I love! Stampin' Up! has brought many gifts into my life - friendship, relationships, creativity, freedom to work when I want to work and most of all rewards for doing my job. This week I earned an all expenses paid vacation to Fiji from Stampin' Up! for 2013. Thank you Stampin' Up! and thank you to my fabulous downline and customers!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Makes me think of our Easter tradition...same concept, just using Easter eggs that no one eats anyway! We do our game in the open field across our street and treat the wild animals to an Easter treat.
