Take me out to the ball game

Life at our house is pretty much about ball this month. Middle daughter is playing softball and has been pitching and playing first base mostly. They played a boys team last night and almost won the second game. The first game they lost by only a few points. I should explain that our youth softball is set-up so they play two 1 hour games each night they play. Usually they play one night a week, but this week she played last night and will play again tonight. Dad worked with her on pitching over the weekend, so she is getting better. Even struck out several boys last night! Yay Abi!
And our youngest has started tee ball practice and has her first game Friday morning. She is really having fun and is always asking someone to go outside and practice with her. She informed me yesterday that she can play both tee ball and softball (because her sister has pitched the softball to her and she hit it!). I look forward to her game on Friday, it is so fun and funny to watch these little kids play. It will really look funny because the shirts they got are HUGE! September put hers on and it hangs well below her knees. I will try to shrink it today, but of course that is when things don't shrink. I suppose we will have to find a scrunchy to hike it up with.
Our oldest is bummed cuz she can't play this year (first time in 11 or 12 years). She is too old for the youth league she has always played in and is working most nights when the ladies softball usually plays.
As for me, other than watching the games and taxiing the kids back and forth, I also get to go outside and help them practice. Which is always good for laughs at our house, as Mom has no athletic abilities at all. So if you need a good laugh, let me know, and I'll call you next time I am helping the girls practice.
