We Won!

The baseball game was great to watch.  The boys all played so well.  The third baseman and the second baseman trapped a runner that was trying to still third and tagged him out.  The catcher and the third baseman caught a runner of guard and tagged him out on the runners way to home.  The Mr. told that catcher that the play was incredible and the catcher replied, “I’m having and incredible game!” Our guy got a great hit, it was a close race to first base, but the first baseman dropped the ball, so our guy was “SAFE!” The next batter got a hit as well…directly to the second baseman…our guy ran right into the second baseman and the kid dropped the ball.  When the oldest made it to third the third base coach said, “Let me touch you, so I can buy a lottery ticket on the way home.  You are the luckiest kid around!”  After scoring a run our guy had the biggest smile…intoxicating!  The umpires stopped the game about 25 minutes early due to a “Mercy Rule” I guess we were up by so many runs that they call the game.  I’m not clear on that rule yet.  Needless to say our team was really happy to have the win.

The youngest stayed home and played with his friend that lives across the street.  They had dinner over here and then returned to Ben’s house for a sleepover.  Today is Ben’s birthday party, so we will be spending the afternoon at the Rec Center for a pool party.  The youngest reminded us that we have yet to celebrate his “Friend” party.  At this point I may as well wait for summer and have a pool party.  We’ll see.

Guess who started barking at 5:35 on a Sunday morning?  Yep…Lacey.  I can attribute some of her bad behavior to the steroids she is on for her ear infection, but the rest is just Lacey believing that she is in control of when she gets fed.  I got up and put her in the crate…fed Mojo, and went back upstairs until she finally stopped barking.  I then came down and fed her. Grrr!

The Mr. has a torn meniscus in his right knee.  We have Lorenzo coming into town tomorrow and the boys are off school.  We have events Monday and Tuesday night, so the Mr. won’t be able to make it to the Dr. for any relief until Thursday.  His knee is really swollen and he is in quite a bit of pain.  Poor guy.

I think we will try to get a little yard work done this morning and I have to make a trip to Kinkos to have $50 gift cards made for one of the aesthetic office procedures.  I want to give them to the women at the CWFC wine event Tuesday night.

The oldest will most likely ride his dirt bike today while I am at the Rec center with the youngest.

My first birthday card arrived in the mail yesterday.  It is from my dad.  His is always the first to arrive.  I wish I were on top of birthdays like he is.  I always seem to send mine out at the very last moment and that actually causes me internal stress.  Maybe that can be a “Half Yearly” New Years Resolution, or just a life resolution.  I believe the next birthday after me will be Aunti B…July 7th.  I should just send hers out now and really be ahead of the game.

Speaking of Aunti B….she stopped by yesterday with treats for the dogs and super cute cupcakes with little green frosting turtles on top.  The boys were ecstatic when they saw them.  The dogs, the boys and I thank you.  As I’ve said before, if it weren’t for Aunti B. our dogs would never get treats or new toys. Here’s a comment from Annette.
