Baseball

One bright
and sunny
Saturday
I take some photos of a friend's son playing Fall Ball.

Baseball is so quiet
compared to
motocross.







I love the energy of the coach.

I had fun but still love the speed of my boys and their bikes.

Today Brittany over at 4 little men and girly twins listed her daily events so I thought I do mine and see what I come up with. Even though we live in different states, different worlds we ALL do the same thing every day just a little not quite the same.
So here is my day... I am going to update this post as the day goes on.. pretty boring so far.

My Sunday

Last Sunday we drove to Pusheta Creek in Northern Ohio. We had never been there so it was a treat to find a great track. I took about 900 pictures so I thought I'd share a few with you. This was looking at the track from out parking spot. A great picture if I have to say so myself of a quad rider. I love this pic.

My baby boy jumping.
Drake takin a corner.
I love motocross. I don't think there is anywhere else in the world I'd rather be than watching my son ride.

Holiday Marshmellows

Last weekend monster #3 went to a sleepover so her sister and I threw together a few chocolate covered marshmellos. I guess kids were grabbing them as she got out of the car.
Feedback was that they were a hit.. I guess drizzled chocolate and sprinkles on marshmellows are a keeper.
Scew stick or sucker sticks
Marshmellows
Melting waivers or chocolate bark
Sprinkles..
easy peasy..

HalloweenA friendly spider hanging out on a plate.

Jars of fire balls and eye ball gum.
I got these napkins rings last year at Kohl's they were like .74 cents each. I put them around black paper napkins beeecause.. years ago I threw out my black cloth napkins and just never replaced them.. I know I shouldn't throw stuff away.

I got these candles this year and had a few more than candle holders so I stuck them in some coffee beans and a small mason jar.
I bought this cheezy vinyl tablecloth at Big Lots for like 3.oo.. The kids like it.
Some popcorn balls
I found a bag of plastic bugs and put the rings on the stemware as wine glass charms.. every glass is different.

I had seen these spider candle holders somewhere before but found them on sale at Big Lots this year....
