Faces, Balls and Accountants

The kids and I took a few hours out of our crazy schedule today to watch Kathleen and Justin play kickball. Oh My Goodness! I haven't laughed that hard in I don't know how long!!
Their team is called "Git Some" and the team they played against is called "Awesome Town". Each player on "Awesome Town" was a towns person- they had a mayor (who played the whole game with his brief case), a snowboarder (who played the whole game with his snowboard!!) and a tiger among other people. But the best towns person by far was the accountant:This guys stayed in character the entire time. When he caught a ball he quickly dropped it to calculate it on his HUGE calculator that he kept with him. The first time he came up to kick he had all his files with him and when he made contact with the ball he threw all the files and promptly freaked out about the "Thompson File!!!!"

To begin each game the teams must have a skit. Kathleen and Justin came with a spear (that Justin created) and when the time was right...they set fire to it!!!

The kids were a bit hungry so we ran to the Plaid Pantry to grab some grub:The kids went to town on food I wouldn't normally buy them. I think all the food coloring and artificial flavors had an effect on Hazel!!
