A New Obsession?

Mr. D woke up this morning remembering (of course) his last spoken words before crashing last night after the game..."We have to play baseball!!!" He threw on some flips flops and came running downstairs in his pajamas ready to go. He got his old t-ball bag out and was headed to the backyard to hit a few balls. Mind you the tee was "lost" in the move so it was the real deal today. Feeling like that was more of an experience to share with Daddy, we waited for batting practice until tonight. (Hopefully, uh hm, Daddy will post that later.) Instead, D and I opted for a nice afternoon game of catch. However, his short fuse blew when he realized I was catching more balls than he was...the little man still HATES to lose...not sure where he got that OR his short temper from, but I digress! Needless-to-say, I think we have a new obsession in our midst...Lord knows there has to be something ALL the time. I guess if this doesn't turn into a total obsession, maybe we'll at least have a new family pastime. :) Wonder if he'll switch from soccer to t-ball for the fall...hmmmm. We'll keep you posted.

Bike to the Park

Mr D has been begging me for weeks now to take a family bike ride to the park. (Not knowing how Little Miss A would fare the distance, I had been putting it off.) The weather has been SO nice here lately that we tried it out tonight. I walked/jogged along side them tonight instead of biking. Until we build up a faster pace and are sufficiently going, I'm going to have to keep doing that...our speed is so random. It won't be long though before we all truly can take a family bike ride together. Then it may be bye, bye training wheels. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one, so we'll see. :)

Friday Night Football

Okay, so let me first start by saying that Texas high school football is NOTHING like the high school football games I grew up with! The stadium was totally packed. It was the final game of the season between the two big rivals in our district. The students I had from my looping year a few years back was split between the two schools, so we HAD to go. A & D LOVED it!!! Little Miss A was bouncing in the bleachers to the music. Mr D, kept asking when he could play football too, but was then distracted by the track that runs around the field. "Mom, can I go down to the track? Mom, can I go down there? Mom, when are we going down to the track? Mom, I really want to go walk on the track." (You get the idea...still tenacious D!)
