Updates

I have a few different topics to update you on, so I thought I'd combine it all into one post. Hopefully it won't be very long.

#1:C's baseball games
There are 15 games in a season.
His team has won 7.
His team has lost 4.
He has 2 to make up due to rain/cancellation, plus the last 1 on his schedule.
He played 1/2 of one Tuesday night before they called the game due to impending weather. And let me tell you, it let loose! It was horrible driving home. They were losing when we left.

There is an upcoming really cool post about one of his games. Check back.

#2: my garden
Is exploding!
I have 9 tomatoes and a bazillion buds.
My lettuce is getting close; my carrots and onions look good.
Everything should be ready around July 4th.
I'm thinking of making homemade salsa with all my produce. Anyone have a good recipe?

#3: Summer reading programs (go here too)
This year both kids are participating in various programs.
I think I've entered them in 6: 2 libraries, Barnes & Noble, Half Price Books, Pizza Hut, HE Buddy (never heard of them before; we'll see how it goes)
We went to Half Price Books the other night and the kids spent the first 2 of their earned gift cards.

Funny story: K bought a coloring book. She is on "crayon restriction" for coloring on the floor-AGAIN! Seriously?!

#4: Daddy's late birthday

Since we had company during Daddy's birthday week, I didn't have a chance to get him a present and we didn't get to celebrate with just the 4 of us.

So one day we decided to have a "surprise party" waiting for him when he got home.

We had balloons and a few presents for him.

And a cookie. The best part, I think.

He was surprised and it was bunches of fun.
