Ok so baseball was an adventure. My kids have played 3 seasons on a christian based soccer club. In other words parents are told to shut up and just let the kids HAVE FUN. But this season they told me that they wanted to play baseball. OK, well I asked my brother who to sign up with for baseball. He tells me the only way to go is M'boro Baseball Assoc. OK so I pay my 55.00 each. The coach calls me over the weekend tells me what to buy, where they practice and asks if the kids have ever played Coach Pitch. No-I explain this is their first real experience with baseball as a whole. I am used to having one-one hour practice a week with one game on the weekend.
OK so now we show up for one of the FOUR practices this week. The practice in 1 1/2 hours long and practice was at 7PM. Furthermore these kids all knew one another because they apparently have all stuck to the same team for MANY seasons. I do not mind my kids being the new kids-heck I spent half of my life being the new kid. But the parents! OMG! I cannot tell you how they spoke to their kids! One dad told his son to "Get under the ball, if it hits you it will not hurt long." These kids are six and they are having fun. NOT training for the Majors. But Ethan and John were having fun and that is all that matters. But honestly, if your kids play sports-just remember unless they are playing for the Mets-it is just FUN! Especially at this age.
OK That is my rant for the day.
Other than that I am adding a pic of my bunny. I am showing you all how cute a bunny tail is especially since it is soooo tiny.
And finally,
I aspire to be organized. I own a labler, I have file folders and I got a new computer to keep all the photos stored on. (This computer don't think that I own two of these.) And in my effort to clean out my wardrobe-I HAVE ORGANIZED!!! This wardrobe is what I put everything in. You know, the kids bring something home and it is cute and you have NO idea what to do with it so you put it in the Wardrobe. it was my catch all. Only my catch all was HUGE. And secretly I was scared that if something happened to me Nathan would REALLY find out that I am a "closet" slob-with aspirations of being more Martha Stewart than George Jefferson.

We are right there with you in terms of baseball. Colby has played soccer for 2+ years...and now he is interested in baseball. He missed out on T-Ball, which scares me. Caleb has played soccer for 5+ years and coach pitch baseball for 1 season. Caleb enjoyed it so this fall we are going to be busy. Caleb is still in soccer and now both of them are in coach pitch baseball. I am not really worried with Caleb, he is 9. I am worried about my baby he is only 6 (until Oct). But still.
