That's a wrap

This post is dedicated to C's last season of Pee Wee baseball. It's hard to believe he played 3 years! And boy did he get good. Well, better. He was always pretty good at baseball. I honestly can't tell you if he had a winning or losing season (I think it might have been even???) The last few games were cancelled due to weather and never got rescheduled.

I have 2 main points to this post.

Number 1: May 24th the Yankees played the Giants. Insignificantly, they won 28-12. Significantly, C got the game ball! First of all, kudos to the coach for doing such a thing. Any kid that got it was more than excited. But C earned it at that game for making a diving catch on a pop fly and for throwing someone out at first base. Sadly, I did not see the catch and only caught the tail end of the out at first (Potty breaks cannot be scheduled for a 4 year old; they must be NOW!)
Number 2: After the season was over, all the teams were invited to the water park for a pool party (just like last year). This year it was on a Saturday which made it so much easier. The kids always have so much fun but there are always a bazillion people there! I did not get any pictures at that pool party. Later that week, Coach had a pool party for just the Yankees team. They had pizza and then the kids swam (actually Daddy and I did too). After all the swimming, Coach passed out trophies and then the kids signed each others game balls. So sad that his Pee Wee baseball time is over, but excited about what the Rookie league will bring.

Vacation-1

Well we are about half way done with vacation. So I thought I'd catch everyone up.

We ended up leaving on Sat (instead of Sun) because Daddy's tourney got rained out. We left around 11 am and got in around 11 am. Not bad time. The kids did OK. C did very well. K--well that's another story. She thru a fit at least twice and did not want to get back in her seat. Poor thing. I can't blame her. She and I colored, did puzzles, watched Elmo, listened to music. I was just as tired as she was. And of course she only slept for about 20 minutes.

Sunday we grilled out, played outside some, the kids went swimming again, and we found some baby bunnies. K loved the pool. She did not want in the floaty, but did not want anyone to hold her. She was ready to take off on her own. C did really well. He could actually touch the bottom but was brave enough to go under and swim around. The water was so cold though. They all came out with chattering teeth and blue lips.

Monday the men worked on siding one side of Mom's house. It looks really nice. The women tried to set up this tent thingy. It kept collapsing every time the wind blew too hard. We also made homemade ice cream. Yummo.

After dinner we had a small party for K's birthday. She got more Elmo stuff and a tool set from her Aunt and Uncle and kids. She thought the tools were for her to do her hair. Her uncle made a very nice Elmo cake. Then there was a Wii tourney before the relatives went home. It's kinda funny to watch. Even Grandma was getting into it. Aunt was jumping up and down when she did good. K found a remote for a recliner and was "playing" Wii with that. So every now and then, there goes the chair way up in the air or way back to the wall. That was funny to watch too.

Tuesday we went to see Grandma Great. We spent the day there and the kiddies were soooooo good, even though there wasn't much for them to do. We even visited another friend of Grandma's for a few minutes. On the way home we stopped at Wal-Mart for a few things and the kids got to pick out a toy for being so good. Daddy and C also got Yankees shirts to wear to the game on Saturday.

Just a funny story about my 2 kiddies from Tuesday morning. Monday night the relatives left and went home to sleep in their own bed, so I put both my kids in the same room so: A) I could hear them both and B) so K wouldn't be scared. Well Tuesday morning before 8am (at home they usually aren't allowed up til it's an 8) C came into our room and told us K was awake. I told him to go back in there and talk to her until it was an 8. So back in he goes. "So what do you want to talk about? You want to talk about the Hulk?" Daddy and I quietly laughed so hard the bed shook. We just laid there and listened to them for awhile. It was so funny.

As of right now, that gets you up to date and that's all the good stuff that I can remember. I'll try to touch base probably this weekend and get caught back up.
