What a busy week! Fun, but almost too busy. Between church and a garden club project and home we’ve been firmly on the go. This week also overlapped soccer and baseball. Because of Master’s week and a game rained out we had two soccer games this week. Thursday’s game was so exciting I was late to my sign language class. Today’s game was not so wonderful, especially with referees who are not consistent in their calls. So we ended up the season 3-4-1.
However, Bruce started with baseball and his eight and nine year olds this week too. I must remember the sunscreen. We’re both rednecks tonight! These little guys are so enthusiastic! One fella wanted to wear his cleats to school. The dads are ready to help. They all (moms and dads) grew up playing baseball and understand it better than soccer. (I’ll bet that won’t be the case with the next generation of dads.) Anyway, it’s heartening to watch them practice – hitting, catching, throwing, running, and, yes, even remembering to step on the bases. This team is also co-ed — one little girl has a great arm. She throws better than her brother! This is going to be a fun summer. I better stock up on sunblock.
