We went to Pennsylvania yesterday, my sister-in-law and I.We left when I got home from work, she drove.
We went for the Christmas Gift and Craft Fair in Harrisburg.
This is the second year that we've done this.
This year her sister met us there and we spent the day browsing, shopping and having a good time.
I had to get some new links in a bracelet I got there last year.
The vendor wasn't there, but I found another one who, after I bought a replacement bracelet, decided they could add a few links to the original after all.
Now I have 2. I guess I'll give SmartGirl the new one too.
I got some glue. Really, serious glue- " The Last Glue You'll Ever Need" glue.
Really, that's what the guy called it and if it fixes the shoes the dog chewed then I will be sold on it for life.
I'll let you know how it goes.
I got a hanging planter.
It's made of copper wire and stained glass with a bud vase suspended in the center..
I'm going to put it in the kitchen window.
I'll let you know if that works too.
I got some shirts for the guys... I think they'll get a kick out of them.
Their ego's definitely will!
We ran out of time. The place is huge and I would have loved to spend more time but...
Back to real life.
The life of BusyMom.
I got home in time to get SIX and HeMan Hubby into the car and out the door to SIX's football banquet.
He got a trophy for his team being a finalist in the Division Championship....The game his hand got shattered in.
Then he got another trophy.
MVP for Defense.
For making his presence known in that game, and every game of the season..
The coach said, " No matter what the score was the other team ALWAYS knew we were on the field with (SIX) taking them down"
Every one clapped. Everyone cheered. The defensive coach grabbed SIX in a bear hug and said...
"I asked you to give your all and you always did, offense, defense, special teams... you even gave up your hand, but you never gave up the points... You are THE MAN ! You are an awesome kid"
I worry that I make too many mistakes with the kids.
I worry that I'm not doing my job.
I worry that they will not become the wonderful people that I know they are...
Then someone else steps in, or several someones.
They teach my children, they praise my children, they make my kids feel good about themselves and...
I know that HeMan Hubby and I are not doing this alone.
It takes a Village to raise a child is what I've heard.
But I think that maybe what it really takes
is a Football Team...

Love this. So many congratulations to your son.
I, too, am grateful for all the people who are part of my children's lives. People who love and encourage them. People who don't want to kill them as often as I do because they don't live with them.
Where would we be without them?
