Baseball and more Baseball

It is a week of baseball in Marion - last week we had rain everyday and they cancelled all the games (3 in total for our family). 

Monday the boys played, yesterday Miss C, today the boys, Thursday Miss C (we may skip this game), and finally Friday the boys.

I love baseball but this seems to be taking forever this year....

feeling bored

I am very very bored right now.  Today we had ball and the boys team lost.  They are not doing so great this year.  We at dinner at 4PM in order to go to the game.  When we got tot he game Colleen and I hung out at the playground while the boys practiced.  Once the game started - she continued to play while I paced around.  I just could not settle down -- it probably doesn't help that no-one talks to me.  I am sure they think I am stand-offish but I'm not. 

Right now I am sitting at home by myself - kids sleeping - Tony working -- and I am so bored.  I don't even want to read - that is how bored I am.

UPDATE....

School is nearly over - I can not believe it.  Only 9 days of school left and it sounds like fun, fun, fun for the kids.  I know that Patrick & Daniel are done with their grades.  Miss C would love to stay in K forever (or at least with Mrs. Crabtree).  Today they are seeing a movie at the Palace Theatre. 

All three kids have had strep this past week.  None are contagious as of today but both Patrick & Colleen had to miss class because of it.  Daniel could have missed today but wanted to see the movie and play ball tonight. 

Baseball started about 3 weeks ago.  Boys seem to be having fun - Patrick is the only 3rd grader and Daniel is with all of his friends. Colleen is playing t-ball and has a whole lot of fun with it. She likes to talk to her friend Maddie the most (I think).

Colleen is now a Brownie and the boys have advanced in rank to Bear for Daniel and Webelo for Patrick.

We are trying to plan a vacation - not going well.  But we are down to Northern MI, Chicago, Atlanta, or Niagara Falls.  We need to make a decision soon.

It is May

Once again time flew and I did not post anything for nearly one month.

Patrick's birthday went fine.  We are going to buy Patrick a new bike (when is the big question - hopefully prior to Daniel's birthday).  There is one he wants at CostCo so perhaps this weekend.

Daniel celebrated his first communion.  It was a nice day.  The rain held off.
