Baseball, Barons, & Archways

So today started early and went late, but it was a great day. 
We started out with breakfast together at Legends.  I needed to go by there so we decided that we should just east there.  It was definitely a delicious breakfast.

We headed to the house where they were adding the archways to the inside!  I love seeing something new everyday!  We went by so early that even tomorrow should hold a surprise for us!  The pantry could easily be seen and so could the division between the kitchen and the living room.  YAY!!!

Danny had a game at South Eastern at 12.  We got there about 10:40, we had to be there by 11:00.  We pulled up and got a text they were moving the game to 1:00.  Either our schedule was wrong or their schedule was wrong, but either way we waited.  We watched the Green Clay team (Cain's team) beat them and then we stepped in and beat them again.  The boys all played so good.  Danny was on it today, he did not get any fouls but he was ready at home no matter what and he was killing the ball.  Super proud of him!

We were supposed to go to a birthday party.  It was a pool party, which sounded so good.  But with the change in game time and still having to get back we decided to meet them at the Baron's game instead of trying to get the party.  I forgot the gift, but I will bring it to BJ on Monday, we have a game.  The game was great.  The Baron's lost which was a bummer but it was nice just to be out with a group of people.  We all had a good time (at least I think we all did).  Great friends, for adults and kids and that is a combination that cannot go wrong.  Danny caught a ball the last inning, which made his night and then some.  Of course John Michael was not happy, but he will get his one day too!  Happy Birthday Brody!  We had a great time and hope that you did too!

Well, I am off to bed.  Tomorrow is another non stop kind of day.  It is all good though.   I did decide to grab a quick pick of the super moon!  While it is not the best picture it at least commemorates the occasion!

On A Roll

So this morning I started to feel a little more like myself. I woke up with energy and did not drag for half of the day. In fact before 6:30 I had gotten in a small workout, done a load of laundry, unloaded and reloaded and started the dishwasher, and hand washed the dishes that needed that extra care. I was actually feeling pretty good all day.

Thank you so much for hearing and answering my prayers. That is about all I can say. I have needed a turn around and I am hoping that this is it.

Baseball games were back on the calendar tonight and looks like they will be every night for the next few. Lots of laundry is what that means for momma. John Michael's team lost, but these boys get better every game. They are the youngest team in the league and they are truly doing their best. I am proud of them! I have been on teams that won them all, lost them all, and fell in the middle. I do not think that any one was more enjoyable than the others. SERIOUSLY!

I do have a few things to vent about so parents listen up! I am talking to you! There are several parents complaining about the lack of practice. There are several reasons that we have not practiced. 1. We have other responsibilities and are not paid to coach. 2. When we have held practices 4-6 kids of 12 show up. 3. The weather has not been the best and has yielded several possible practices. Now, if you think you can do better, please sign up and do so next year. Know that we have only a few boys who have ever played, of those half have only played rag ball, which if you did not know is not even a preparation for baseball. We also have 4, 4 year olds. We only have 3, 6 year olds. Here is the thing. You take an average 6 year old and put them against even the best 4 year old they will be outplayed.

Now I am done with that vent. Again, sorry, but I needed to get it out! If you would like to discuss this with me please do so...not on the bleachers. Get real and grow up, PLEASE!

Danny's team played amazing and they won. It was close for a while, too close for a while, but in the end they won! They all did really well. Congrats to all of the Yankees!

Well, I am exhausted. The boys have had their showers and baths, and are asleep. I am about to head that way myself. I will remember you all in my thoughts and prayers. Please remember Danny's class as they continue getting ready for their First Communion this coming Saturday! I cannot believe he is so big. Tomorrow he has Mass at school and it is the last Mass that he will ever attend without receiving Communion. WOW! That about sums up my emotions.
