Baseball...Baseball....Baseball

So baseball season has officially begun!! It rained and rained and rained some more on Friday…So we really didn’t think that opening day would be going off…We were pleasantly surprised on Saturday morning when we woke up to a beautiful sun shining day… It was a touch breezy but nothing that a light jacket couldn’t do! They have an opening day parade down two main streets and it was awesome…P was the perfect picture of a well behaved little one…He was running around and just having a ball (no pun intended) with some other younger kids…My father-in-law was entertaining him for a little while!! The fields were a muddy mess…They tried their best to get everything ready, but in the end our game was cancelled!! So back home we went…I got to do all the food shopping with no husband or kids!! J put P down for a nap and started the siding on the back of the house…He installed to nice recessed lights!! We then headed over to friends of ours Drew and Megan…These two have been neglected by us for some months now…So all four of us when over for dinner and the Flyers game!! Once P had enough we were headed back home to put the kids to bed… J was awake early along with C to head out to his softball game!! Well with in an hour both were home..The softball fields were a mess and they we unable to play…So J finished up out back and off to the first travel baseball game we went!! It gets really exciting as he gets older and they as a team get it more and more…P was having a grand old time running around the bleachers and petting all the dogs…C made to all-star plays…Struck out once…He is becoming a nice ball player, if he didn’t whine so damn much!! His mouth is the only one you hear out there….So J will be working on that self control issue!! It became very overcast and looked as though it was going to pour at the end of the game…We went into extra innings and pulled off the win in the bottom of the 7^th 3-2!!! It was an amazing game!! After all the celebrations, we headed home and I needed to run to Wal-Mart for a few items that had slipped my mind when I was there yesterday…So J, C & P decided that they wanted to come along…I ended up buying stuff to make sausage and peppers for dinner along with ham steak, mashed potatoes & mac and cheese…It was a yummy dinner that is for sure!! Right as we were finishing up dinner the in-laws came over for a bit to visit with the kiddos!! Tomorrow marks the first in-house game, but they are calling for rain showers so God only knows if we will play!! So yes it is going to get really busy really quickly!! We have a travel game on Friday and an in-house game Saturday along with a Phillies game Saturday night…It’s going to get fun!!

Happy Monday
