World Series Weekend

As you can imagine, our weekend was started off right with Game 7 of the World Series. We headed down to my parents' house once again for dinner and the game...Hey, it worked the night before and we weren't about to do anything to mess it up!

Before dinner we took advantage of the gorgeous sunset and the fall color at my parents' house...I had intentions of trying to include Bogey in a family photo but all we ended up with was a flash of yellow dog! So...our family of 3 it is...

My mom & dad were all decked out as well...and of course they could include their pup since you can just put her in your arms!

The fall color in Southwest Missouri seems to be at its prime! The local news seemed to think that we might not have much color because of the ridiculously hot & dry summer we had...but I think God did his thing anyway!

Look at that color! It's stunning when the sun hits it just right!

After a quick dinner we settled in for 9 innings of baseball. Hubby & my dad were a bundle of nerves for most of the game....

but then it turned into a little bit of this...

as we watched this on tv...

St. Louis Cardinals...2011 World Series Champions!!!

After the emotional roller coaster that was Game 6, Game 7 almost seemed a little anti-climactic; but hey, a win's a win and I'll take it! It's always fun to have a team to route for...but even more fun to be routing for the winning team!

Saturday I had to work and my alarm came early after a late night the night before. Thankfully we had no afternoon plans so after work and a quick lunch I headed to bed for a nice long nap. We ran some errands during the late afternoon before heading to dinner and our first college basketball game of the season. We are season ticketholders this year for the Missouri State Bears and I'm already looking forward to the games. However, it was a little crazy to go from baseball on Friday night, straight into basketball on Saturday night. I guess you could say our family is into sports! ha!

Today was a lazy Sunday which was certainly fine by me! We went to church, had lunch at home, and then I did a little bit of couponing and crafting. I'm working on a fabric, canvas, and embroidery hoop project for Elyse's walls and I'm getting excited to see how it looks when it's finished! Just another thing to check-off my to-do list!

It's a pretty crazy week for us as tomorrow is Trunk or Treat at church, Tuesday is my friends' shower, and then my mom and I are headed to Kansas City at the end of the week for Women of Faith! Hopefully I can stay caught up on my sleep!
