A Week of Fun

Not too much going on around here besides work, school, and after school fun.

Brody and I enjoying a bag of pretzels at 8pm during Mason's soccer practice after a baseball game.  If anything, all these extracurricular activities are helping me not eat through my house each night!  

Each Friday, Brody has speech at 3pm.  I go and help Mason's teacher for the thirty minutes he is in there.  His speech teacher then brings him back to Mason's classroom, and Brody gets to hang out until the bell rings.  It is always a Friday afternoon, so they have a reader or watch a short movie and eat a snack.  Brody sits right down in the middle of the class with all the kids.  He loves it. 

After school Friday, Mason had a friend over for pizza and fun.  

They had a really good time. 

Saturday was nasty outside.  We got a ton of rain Friday night. 

Soccer games were canceled AGAIN.  That didn't stop John and the kids from throwing the baseball. Just did it in the street. 

We had dinner Friday night for a friends' birthday.  I didn't get any great pictures.  We were excited to try The Gray Canary downtown.  It is new and fun.  We got this big punch bowl for the table. 

We had a great time with friends. 

Monday was BUSY BUSY BUSY. 

Our games are starting to get crammed because of all the soccer rainouts.  

If it could just stop raining on the weekends!!!

Mason had the early baseball game.  He was not too happy he was going to have to play catcher.  This baseball team has great players, no one wants to be catcher, but they are each having to take a turn.  Well, he showed them.  Instead of pouting and just catching and throwing the ball back....he actually played the position and hustled.  Jumped up each time.  

Next thing ya know, he jumped up to grab a ball and threw a kid out at first.  First time we've seen a catcher in this league throw someone out.  His teammates thought it was so cool.  

He also hit really well.  4 for 4 with a triple.  

So he got the game ball.  This game balls mean so much to those kids.  He wanted a case for it, so I ordered one.

The coaches have had a hard time deciding who will play catcher, but after the game, they all volunteered for the next game.  (And turns out, one of our kids played last night and tagged someone out at home.  It was awesome.)

Right after the game, we had to hop in the car and fly to the soccer fields for a soccer game.
It was also freezing Monday night.  We had coats and blankets and it wasn't enough when that sun went down!  I am ready for warmer weather!

I know he was so exhausted but he ran his little heart out.  He is sure fast, so he runs up and down that field the entire game.  He did so well.  I was worn out from just watching him.  

We were super proud of him.  He never complained and seemed to enjoy both games.  

Tuesday night is for t-ball games.  This week we played Davis and the Marlins.
They both had their cheering squads with them.
It is fun to be hanging out again watching games, but for another generation of kids. 

They both did so well!

Davis on first, Brody right next to him int he field. 

We had a baseball game last night and are hoping soccer games are on for Saturday this weekend!
