end of season celebrations

the church who runs the baseball league hosts an end of season celebration for each division. maddux went first with t-ball. the church provides pizza and soda/water and all of the families brought sides and desserts - there was a ridiculous amount of food. and i think our kids ate more than their fair share! i asked them to pace themselves since we had to do it all again for mason in just an hour. 

each team was given t-ball medals. maddux went up with his team still eating and with food all over his face. sigh.

look how proud he is!

and then he had some more desserts, including an orange cupcake to add to his face collection.

and then they called up all of the t-ball players who had practiced and memorized the six bible verses for the season to award them with a backpack. 

all the t-ballers left, they threw away all of the food (after begging for the departing families to take some with them) and put out a fresh delivery of pizzas for the coach pitch teams.

mason's team was the first one called up for their trophies.

happy boy (with a stinker in the background)

mason memorized all of his verses for the season too.

the kids were all happy, very full, and sugared up when we left. we are thankful for such a wonderful league to learn about baseball and God. love.
