Bats and Balls


So lately, when I open just about any of our Suburban, baseballs come rolling out, bats come crashing down, and water bottles with lids sort of on sort of off drop and with a splash. The boys can't even fathom the thought of leaving one of these balls that has found its way underneath someone's car, so we are always chasing them. Almost always the balls in my car are ones that they have found. In Dave's van he keeps a big bucket of about 80 balls. So if we own 80...why do we worry about these ones that we find??? They say because those 80 are Dad's and these are THEIRS!!

So baseball and softball has kept us busy. It seems less hectic this year, but busy. Maybe it is easier because I'm not pregnant (2years ago), or with a little baby in tow. I have to say my 2 big babies are a handful at the games, but it has been fun. Meg has 1 game left, Matthew and Jon have about 5, and Michael goes all the way through May.
Did you know that all the softball stuff comes in pink and purple. Michael could believe it...pink bats???

I know!! I love the pink and purple bats, helmets, socks, balls etc.. It was enough to persuade my daughter that playing soccer because she get a pink ball was a good alternative to ballet! The kids look great! And I agree, not having a baby or being pregnant is sometimes nice!! As much as I love that newborn stage, I'm not ready to go there again.

How fun! Geo's already started counting the days until he can play with Matt and Jon. (It's 49.)
