Potty Chair

What have you done with your child's potty chair once they no longer need it?

Summer Fun

Clouds

I love clouds. This was last night behind our house at the park. Do you see the faces? My boys kept saying look mom, look at the face.

Cat Food

Our cat likes to play with her food :) It almost looks like the bowl is smiling at cha!

Lost Again

Just let me say baseball has NOT been good this year. We have lost again, this makes approx 16 games if my math is correct(it's probably more but I hate to say 20). Maybe they are saving all their wins for the FL trip. One could only hope. Our first game last night we lost 9-4, but our second was horrible, final score was 16-1.....we played the same team twice and they were just coming back from a tournament in Knoxville where they took second place. Their coach said they did not get home until almost midnight the night before. You would have thought they would have been wore out! Guess not because they wore us out. G was brought in to pitch with two outs on the board. He did his job, they didn't score again and after he got the last out they called the game. Thank Goodness!! I hate it when he pitches, make me sick at my stomach. He loves it though and that's all that matters.

Moon Pie

Moon Pie was this past weekend. The weather was great and so was the crowd. I sold t-shirts all day. You can see more pics and read about it here :

If you've never had a Moon Pie and an RC well then you don't know what you are missin!! It truly is a Southern Thang :)

Milkweed

Now that the iris' have stopped blooming the milkweed has taken over. I love the blooms and the smell is wonderful. The blooms are full of bees and butterflies.

The Bat No Make That The Bird Bag

Gatorade was spilled in G's bat bag. I thought the simplest way to clean it would be to hang it on the backyard fence and spray it out with the hose, then let it dry. Well, while it was drying it looks like the birds had another idea. Good thing G's older brother had a bag he was no longer using :)

Big Boy Toys

Dad's new toy, his reasoning behind the purchase was G would be needing something to drive in about 4 years. Our insurance agent suggested a Crown Vic, I said a U-Go that only goes 45 mph....hum

Just A Little Boy

Sometimes we get so caught up in the game we forget why we are playing. Right now G's team is really struggling, this was all I could think about after last nights games.

Garage Sale

My mother loves garage sales. She can't go because at this point she is having lots of trouble walking, which surgery will correct but that will be another post. Back to the garage sale. We had one last week, three days of it, Thur, Fri, & Sat. Wish I had remembered to take pics. We had junk for days and we sold junk for days. I was determined NONE of it was coming back home with me so while reading the evening paper I noticed an ad that read, Will pick up unsold yard sale items for FREE. There was the magic word FREE. I called and he was there within 15 minutes. We loaded him up. I finally got rid of a wedding gown that had seen two divorces. It was mine the first time I was married and then my best friend from high school, well her daughter wore it also. I was glad to see that go. Hope the next person has better luck. Just to set the record straight, my husband now is WONDERFUL. We have been married almost 14 years. Ok, enough of that we were talking about garage sales. Thur was good, it rained some on Fri, and Rained ALOT on Sat but that didn't seem to slow the yard sale warriors down. I got plenty of exercise running around trying to get things covered up, then running around again uncovering them. We had a good time, my mother's baby sister was there too so it was lots of laughs. Mother wants to have another one in the fall. Maybe after a few months recovery I will consider doing it again :)

G & Mr C

This is G and his math teacher two days before school ended. Do you think Mr C had all he could stand????

Ever had this happen???

You send your child to baseball camp with one pair of cleats and he comes home with a different one??? Well, it has happened at this house. Thur was the last day of camp. The coaches were letting them have some fun time, water on a tarp time. ANYWAY....they all took their shoes off to slide on this thing, see where I am going with this? When I got there to pick G up, he asked if I had his cleats, my reply was NO, why would I. Everyone was leaving and he was frantically searching for his shoes. I spot a pair next to the fence, they look just like his, so I go over and pick them up all the time yelling at him, HERE THEY ARE!!!! But they weren't, they were just like his ONLY too SMALL!!!
So now we a faced with another problem, that being he has a double header to play in about 5 hrs....with no cleats. I call all our friends begging for cleats, that darn size issue keeps creeping up. His dad calls while all this is going on and SAVES the day! He leaves work goes to the store and comes home with a new pair. Looks like G was also the winner in this mix up, he got new shoes too! :)

Baseball at this house

Well, it has been a few days since posting. Our baseball season has finally taken off, we are playing at least 4 games a week plus weekends. Our weekday games are double headers, and for the most part they are all an hours drive away. I'm not complaining yet.....it would be better if we were winning, which we are not. The coaches tell us this is our "building" year and we have some good 10/11 year olds that make up this team. The Florida trip will be fun, looks like we will get alot of beach time.

Today will be a busy day, G is at baseball camp now and we have to go into town when he is finished and then be back so he can go to practice this afternoon. Tomorrow will be the same, only as soon as camp ends he has to have a haircut, then we are off to Thursday's double header. Busy, Busy , Busy......
