BALL GAMES & MORE

My mom came to visit us on Tuesday/Wednesday. She got to see both kids play ball. We had really nice time with her here.

Speaking of ball, Allie is done for the season. She did really well & was probably the best person on the team. Of course that is because Jake has worked with her in the back yard & quite often he just throws balls at her as hard as he can...she kind of had to learn to play to keep up!

Jake's team isn't very good this year. In fact, they are a bit like the Bad News Bears. There is even one kid on his team that REFUSES to run. His mom MAKES him get out on the field...it is a pity! Jake's team hasn't won a game yet & it makes Jake really mad. Jake tries his best & is doing pretty good. He certainly isn't afraid to field the ball & typically does well. I had to remind him that having fun is the most important part of the game...I'm not sure he is buying what I am saying. Jake still has 2 weeks left & I am definitely ready to be done!

The kids had playdates today. Jake went to Will & Sam's house to play. Allie had Renee over. They enjoyed themselves. We went to the Olive Garden for dinner & then came home. We are having family movie night & watching the 2nd Harry Potter movie as I type.

Tomorrow the kids have a b-day party to attend at a Trampoline place. They are pumped up about it. Not a lot on the agenda for next week. Jake has 2 ball games, we will go to the waterpark a couple of time & we are planning to go to a local art festival on Friday. I'm also hoping to get some cleaning done. I spent a lot of this week cleaning out closets, drawers, cupboards etc. I'd love to finish that project & finish up some deep cleaning as well. I want all of this done before school starts so that I don't have to think about it again until Christmas break!


Jake is up to bat.

Jake tries playing catcher...he says it is really hot!
