My Crazy Husband!

I do have a nice card to share with you before I show you my crazy family!


Once again, playing with my Branch Out stamp set. This one uses flowers from the Trio Flower punch and the kitty from All In The Family. I REALLY love this set!!

OK, now on to my crazy family...well mostly my husband!
Years ago when the boys first started playing baseball, George thought it would be funny to pitch the pumpkins to them at the end of the fall season. Needless to say it has become a bit of a season-end tradition. This year, living in Idaho, the pumpkins froze and it snowed before we had the chance to play pumpkin baseball so we kept them in the garage until a nice day came along.

Dad lined them up and the boys went crazy with excitement
!



Benjamin hit it right on!


Nicholas blasted the pumpkin to smitherines!!!

After smashing 4 pumpkins each, you would not believe the mess in the backyard. Somehow cleaning up the mess wasn't as fun as making it :)
Now did I tell you I have a crazy husband?!! Gotta love him!!

  1. Have you seen "Cheaper by the Dozen" with Steve Martin?? He and his movie family play "Apple Schmere". Very similar only they use apples and tennis rackets. You should check it out it's pretty messy and fun!
