My Goofy Girls!

This past Saturday (as everyone is probably well aware), the Prosser Mustangs played for the state championship in the Tacoma Dome. Unfortunately, after a hard fought game, they lost by one point in double overtime. I could clearly see from where we sat that the boys gave it their all on the field. We are so proud of them and thankful to have had the opportunity to watch such a neat group of young men play a sport they love. It was a great season.

The girls decided to show their Mustang spirit by wearing Mustang capes that my mom made. (Lauryn's was actually a cape from a Little Red Riding Hood costume from a past Halloween.) Several years back a group of spirited high school gals started wearing them. It's kind of fun to see that is has spread to a larger -- less exclusive group. Lauryn even thought a little red and white face paint was necessary to finish off her ensemble. We quickly applied it in the ladies restroom before the game.

The girls kept the Mustang spirit going all night. They even wore the capes (and face paint) to the LaCrosse game at 7:30 that night. I could hardly wait to see Stacy, Leonard, Ashtyn, Gunnar, Abree, and Gage! I could only see Ash from a distance because she was down front cheering with the big kids. LaCrosse ended up winning their championship game by two points.

I bought the girls some "BillyBob" teeth for their daily mitten. I'm not really sure what I was thinking because the things totally make me gag. I can't stand the idea of having them in my mouth, or theirs for that matter. When Lauryn packed for Tacoma she must have thought it was imperative that she pack some extra teeth. (I often wonder what goes through her mind because she also whipped out a harmonica in the motel room.)

Here are a couple pictures of the girls wearing their new teeth.

I'm so lucky that these two sweet girls keep me in giggles.

Love you tons Jen and Lauryn!!!
