Go Cards!

If you follow my blog, you know that I am a HUGE Cardinals Fan!!! Whooohoooo! Go cards!!! Crossing my fingers for tonight's game!!! I just wanted to share this story about my 98 year old Great Grandma that was in the St. Louis Post Dispatch this week!;) "Meem", as we call her, has been a huge influence on me and I ♥ her so much! She isn't doing very well right now, so keep her in your prayers! Let's hope "her boys" come through for her!!!

Cardinals fan, 98, roots for her 'boys' to win one more World Series


Here are a few things my class has done this week to root on our Cards!;)
Here's the ceiling of our hallway:) (Not the greatest picture) The baseballs are just a circle cut from construction paper. Then we draw the stitches on with glue and sprinkled with red glitter. For the Cardinals, I just drew a simple cardinal shape. Then we folded a small square of construction paper into an accordian fold, cut a slit through the Cardinal shape and stuck the folded piece through for the wings. Simple!
Go Cards!!!!!

    OMGosh, this post is awesome! Your grammie is adorable :-)

    How did you make the masks? Since I'm just down the road from the stadium, I really should show some major love to the Cards! Too bad the game was cancelled tonight!

    I'm from the St. Louis area too. Bummer about the rain out! We had red day at school today and we were all pumped for a win. It will happen tomorrow (and Friday!)!

    Your Meem is too cute and that article was great, I giggled and it kind of brought a tear to my eye. I remember when we were younger you talking about her, I think I may have met her once or twice as well.

    I love your Cardinal decorations. Carter's Kindergarten teacher had them make the hats in your picture... I have been instructed to keep it by my t.v. until they win the World Serious (as Carter calls it).
