March Madness

Baseball has started up again and now our lives are crazy hectic. Often I find we are leaving the house once the boys are off of school and not getting home until 7:30 or later. Its exhausting and dinner time is a mess. We either have to eat before 4 or after 8 or grab fast food in between. Really none of those options work well. Feed them to early and the complain about being hungry later, wait until after and every one is hangry, and fast food gets old fast. Maybe I'll figure out a solution one of these days. Nathan was drafted up a division because they were short on players for AAA. I would have much preferred for him to stay in AA and to be playing with more kids his age but as long as he continues to enjoy the game we will deal with it.

Earlier this month their school had the Pride Rally for the trimester and both boys received awards.

        Brady got student of the month for February. For always coming to school ready to learn, for being kind and friends with everyone , and for having almost all of his kindergarten standards mastered. His especially fluent at adding and subtracting.

   Nathan got Perfect attendance and his teacher is thrilled that he comes to school each day ready to learn. Always stays on task and is learning at a rapid rate.

Baseball opening Ceremonies happened last weekend. The Boys really enjoyed the experience. The local Sheriff did a fly over with the Helicopter and then the Swat Robot delivered the game ball to the pitchers mound. After all the kids were invited to go check out different safety displays put on by the Sheriff, CHP, and Firemen.

It has been really cold here the past week, making watching baseball pretty miserable to watch. But its still fun to see the boys in action. Saturday was especially bad and with the boys playing back to back were were all frozen popsicle by 8pm. We started the night at 5 for Nathan's game and Brady's started at 7. We all dressed warm but it didn't matter, by then Brady was so cold that he couldn't stop shivering and started complaining about an upset tummy. He ended up throwing up as the game came to an end.  We rushed home and put him in a warm bath and he has seemed fine since. Here's to hoping the weather improves for the rest of the season.
