Congratulations, Patriots! ~

Last Saturday, my grandson's Pop Warner football team, the Patriots, played their last game and tonight was their trophy party! What an awesome team they are. Each team player received a trophy and celebrated with pizza, cake and soft drinks.

Each one of the boys took a turn signing a football for each one of the four coaches that lead this team thru a great season and the boys gave my daughter, the team mom, a $35.00 gift card to Target. Congratulations, Patriots . . . you rock!!

Football fundraiser success ~

My grandson's, Pop Warner Football league fundraiser, was a total success today! We sold all but fourteen of the seventy-seven caramel apples we made yesterday! Those fourteen will be the teams half-time snack next week on practice day. There were professional team photos taken, pie smashing contests, snow cone and food booths and a great "DJ" playing some good music for everyone . . . Patriot's rock!

We bought $20.00 worth of these tickets for the various amazing gift baskets raffle . . . we didn't win one of the great baskets but that is okay, the day was a total success for the fundraiser, we all had fun and that's what counted most. Now, to cool down a little bit of a sunburn I acquired today . . . . you would think I would know better.

Caramel apples ~

My daughter, granddaughter, a friend and myself, spent the entire day making these caramel apples to sell at a  fundraiser tomorrow for my six year old grandson's football team.  It's a messy deal and alot of work making these (oh, and lots of M&M's were eaten too)! After all of them were made, we wrapped them in cellophane and tied them with ribbons in team colors . . . go Patriots! . . . now, I am off to clean the kitchen!

Ready for football ~

My daughter loves football and her favorite team is the, Houston Texans . . . she walked in with her new outfit today and ready for football season to begin! She is also team mother for our six year old grandson's football team . . . the Patriots . . . getting him started early.
