C's baseball game

C had his first official baseball game Saturday. Thursday they played a scrimmage game to get them used to a game. Anyway. On to Saturday.

C's game was at 1 which meant he needed to be there about 12:30. Daddy had practice from 12-2. So we went to his practice for 30 minutes then on to C's game. To back up to Saturday morning, C had practice for a church program Saturday morning from 9:30-11 (another post). So it was a rushed Saturday. Oh and Daddy forgot the camera for C's game, so after Daddy's practice I dropped C and Daddy off at the game and ran home to get the camera.

Because I was late I missed C's only hit. He got a double! He struck out on his other 2 times to bat. We are trying to tape all his "up to bats" like last year. Hopefully Daddy can make/finish another "Sports Center Update" of C's games.

They did end up winning their game, I think the score was 16-6 or something like that. He was happy that they won.

Daddy ended up coaching 1st base which meant I was videotaping which meant I didn't get any pictures. The pictures below are from his scrimmage game Thursday night.

After the game we stopped at DQ for a very late lunch of hot dogs, chips, and a Dilly bar. (I got Daddy and K an ice cream sandwich, thinking that would be easier for her. But didn't know that Daddy wanted a Dilly bar. Oh well. Sorry Daddy. Next time)

After a K's nap, the kids played outside and we grilled dinner. It was a fun, but busy day.

C up to bat (he was #4 last year; this year he is #8).

C on 1st.

I'll have to get a close up picture of him in his sports glasses. Poor guy; but he looks so cute!

Updates

Three quick updates
#1: Since C ended up finishing his Sparkie book last week, this week they gave him a new workbook. Before AWANA started Wednesday night, Daddy had mentioned to one of the leaders that C had no sections because he had finished his book-again. She said they knew that and were trying to figure out what to give him to work on. On our way home that night, C told us that he had a new book and that "it took them a long time to find it for him." This book does have some "worksheet" type pages along with verses. And these verses are longer and harder. Good. He needs something to challenge him. Now his goal is to finish this book by the end of the year.

#2: The mail lady DID come back to get my mail the other day. I was at least nice enough to put it back in the box with the flag up. The next day I had cards to go out. I stood at the door and watched to make sure that she took them. She saw me and just waved.

#3: This morning we went back to the eye doctor for C to be fitted for his sports glasses. Poor guy. Remember those old fashioned, big, white, chunky sports glasses? These are NOT like that. These are actually very nice looking. They have ordered the lenses and they should be in next week, so he should have them by the time he starts PeeWee baseball (sign ups are today). Unfortunately, insurance does not cover any of these frames or lenses. Thank goodness we just got tax return money back.
