I think I am sad to say Jacob lost the first two games of tournament play and now the Raptors are done for the baseball season. That being said he did get the game ball last night and I have a very happy 6 year old. He made contact overtime to bat. But the coach gave him the game ball for his good attitude for always listening and doing what is told. I am really proud of the progress he had made since February. Jacob came along way.

Matthew has won the first two games of tournament. We don't play again till tomorrow. I am not sure how I will act not having to be at the ballpark tonight. His team has done really well. It is exciting watching my boys turn into such good little ball players.

John's last soccer game is on Saturday. I think he is going back to baseball in the fall. I secretly hope so. I am not telling him that I would him play baseball. Because we are at the age were we do exactly the opposite of what mom and dad say if we can get away with it.

I will keep you posted on how the games go, but for now I going sit and read since the boys are locked in the playroom and playing the wii. I wonder how long that will last.

Baseball Fever

I know that I said that I am ready for baseball to be over, however I need to retract that statement. Matthew has had 2 really great games the last two nights and I am not ready for it to be over. What will fill our evenings with. The last two games have been like watching real baseball. I am so impressed with what those boys can do.

I survived the Outdoor Experience last week. I think I ran almost 3,500 kids through the camp. Now that it is over all I can say is yes it was an experience.

Thanks for listening to me ramble. I am just so stinking excited about baseball.

So this is a crazy week for us. Last week of baseball. Not real sure how I feel about that. We do still have a tournament but it is coming to an end. This is also the week of the Outdoor Experience for my job. I can honestly say I am ready for that to be over.

But I can not believe that we only have 4 more weeks of school. I am ready for a break and have some down time to enjoy the boys. My baby will be in 1st grade next year and my oldest will be 10. Really can I be old enough for my boys to be this old already. I am enjoying watching them grow.

So what do you do with three crazy boys over the summer? You send them to grandmom's. That is were mine are going. And Scoutcamp (which for some crazy reason I agreed to be assistant director for). I need to work on saying "NO." Not sure it is in my vocabulary.

I will check in at the end of the week. Hopefully we will have a successful week.
