Batter Up!

A little update on our favorite coach, Greg Yelland: his baseball team made it to the final four state championship this weekend in Battle Creek!

The Boys of Summer are at the park today and first up is Divine Child. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend but will instead cheer from my cubicle today.

Never fear, he has promised pictures so I can post later!

Coverage of the Martian's win:

Must have been those awesome cupcakes that spawned success....just kidding...congrats to coaches Greg & Bob and the boys:)

Out of This World

Avid magazine reader that I am, I have a confession: I read Redbook. I love it. It may not be targeted toward my demographic, If not for it's thrifty decor tips (which I look forward to putting to use one day), definately for it's recipies.

One day while thumbing through, I found a true gem to surprise Greg with.

(a little backstory) Greg works at Goodrich High School and coaches baseball (mentioned below). Their mascot is the Martian - and while it's a different type of martian - I couldn't resist attempting the recipe I saw photographed here:

After seeing this, I couldn't resist the challenge! While mine may not have turned out as exact as this photo, I had a TON of fun making them, turning my clothes green from mixing in the food dye and even added a little yellow "G" for Greg/Goodrich;)

Here's how my project shook out:

Super green frosting that covered most of my shirt and the kitchen floor...oops.

My many "secret" ingredients for success:

Martians in the freezer to make sure the frosting will "stick"

My little green man as a finished product!

This was truely a messy but fun project. Greg had a good laugh, and I kept myself occupied for an evening.

Good game Redbook!
