I started the weekend with art and based in my first Santa.
My blogger friend, BJ, purchased a large canvas of this pink Santa a few years back and I have wanted to paint it ever since I saw hers. This is the year and I know I will love it!
I have a second Santa to base in and I was hoping to do it before I made this journal entry but that didn't happen.
Labor Day Hockey Tournament!!
Trystan, Kailey and Logan are all on the same team this year - Dallas Stars Elite.
Louis Dean and I went to the girls' game on Saturday at 4:15....
Can you spy all three Bell Girls??
I will edit and point them out later!
Guess who??
Kailey!
Ready and watching....
Trystan!
See how intense she is!!
Logan in action!
The Bell Trio!!
Loved watching them play!
Then we were at the rink at 12:45 on Sunday to watch Harrsion play.
Harrison is #20 and I sat next to the grandma of Carson #5 - they play on the same line.
And Carson scored the first and only goal of the game.
We grandmas show up for our grands!!
Harrison is on the Texas Tigers team this year and is loving it.
Players become friends and sometimes they end up on opposing teams but the friendships remain and that makes the games even more fun.

It's the tradition that's happened on the players part to gather in a ring on the ice after the games and have a word of prayer.
Often both teams gather but Sunday only one of the competition joined the group.
I'm thinking he's friends with some of the Texas Tigers.
This just helps keep the games where they should be.
Healthy competition and hard work with good sportmanship.
The Tigers won the semifinal game at 8:45 this morning and went on to the finals
this afternoon at 2:00.
I got up early and made the first game and then picked Louis Dean up for the final game.
It was a great game - neck and neck.
The other team scores first in the first period and the Tigers scored in the second period.
The game was tied and went into 'overtime' of five minutes.
Alas, the other team won but it was exciting.

| Here we are! |
In between games, I did some 50% off thrift store shopping.
A little more fall debris for the finishing touches!
I'm so happy that our possums are back and the rats and mice have vacated the premises.

Marvelous close-up hockey photos, so sharp and clear! Wow, you really made out thrift shopping! I am going to look up this book; it looks really good!
Your book gets 5 stars on Amazon! I am so tempted to buy it.
The hockey grandkids are a force to be reckoned with! Love all the excellent pictures, felt like I was there with y'all! I loved our little possum too and fed her, but haven't seen her in a long time. I miss her. I had hoped to see her with those cute little babies! HUGS
Sounds like a fun weekend with all those games
I still find it so hard to believe that your grands are so big, but mine are as well. I love to see their hockey pictures and I am thankful that they are doing what they love.
Isn't it fun to go to the games and support your Grands?
I love that you are so present in their lives.
Great finds for thrifting and I can't wait to see your finished canvas painting.
Hugs and enjoy the rest of your day.

I am surprised how big the quads are. It is so funny to see three on one team and one on another.
You have so much fun with your family! They are so active and I know you love being close to see them. Love your Fall pretty things and YOU are so cute too! Sweet hugs, Diane
Linda, When I first started following your blog, Amber was ready to deliver the quads. How can they be so grown now, it sure doesn't seem that long ago. Blessings to all of you. I love you guys like family. xoxo, Susie
Oh, how exciting to be able to see your grands all playing their games and having such a great time! I know it means a lot to them to have you there too. What fun and such great memories for them.
I'm glad your possum is back and keeping your yard rodent free! I haven't seen any around here in a while, but I have a feeling they are out there, along with some armadillos. Plus we have Blackie guarding our property now, so I don't know if that keeps the possums away or not. Anyway, I am happy that you are involved in your citters' lives as well as your grandkids lives. You are blessed!!!
