There's no place like home!

We spent a good chunk of the week working in a concession stand at the Osage City fair. It was neither hard nor exciting, and I was very happy when the final shifts were over! Since we have been hanging out with hotdogs and at the ballpark when we got done there, we have not been home much this week at all! I am now at home and enjoying the air conditioning, comfy chair, using the computer, watching tv, and planning to go to bed! Home = GOOD!

Quincy played in her last T-Ball game this morning. She got a trophy and that was just about the coolest thing that has ever, ever happened to her! She took the trophy out to show grandpa and grandma this evening, and when grandpa asked her why she got a trophy she looked at him like he was crazy and said "Because we are the CHAMPIONS!" And there you have it! Of course, I was thinking that maybe the parents should have gotten shirts that said "we survived t-ball season" that would be more exciting than a trophy! Quincy was also excited because she was the 'snack bringer' today - she has been waiting all season for her turn!





Colin wrestled at Sunflower State Games today too. We ran to watch him after t-ball. He wrestled really well, but did not win. His strength and endurance amazes me. I would never have the stamina to hang in there and avoid the pin that he does! We are proud of him for even stepping foot on the mat!




Mallory and Madison's team played their final regular season game this morning. I did not get to go because it was at the same time as t-ball and wrestling, but I hear that they both played very well and they got a win! They were pleased! Preston and Colin both played their final games of the season this evening. Preston got a pretty good hit, but when he got to 3rd they tagged him (actually pushed him and made him fall) and he was out. His team won anyhow and he was pretty pumped to get a turn playing catcher (like Cameron does). Whenever the little guys put on all that catcher's gear it makes me laugh because they can hardly move - the gear outweighs them!





Colin's team also won their final game, and Colin had some really nice plays at 3rd and at bat.










The city's firework show had to be moved due to rain last weekend, so after Colin's game they put on a very nice display at the ball park. It was pretty cool to watch the home team win and then get a great show too! They even served watermelon - it was a great time!
Now we are home and I am going to go crash! I think sleep will come easy!
