Another busy ball week. Both big kids had ball games on Monday night but in different locations. Little Boy's team got their first loss of the season. And Little Girl's team got their 2nd win. It was a great game for them. Tuesday, Little Boy's team had a game, and they won. Wednesday and Thursday nights we had off from games. Friday night, Little Boy had another game. He hit a home run and got the game ball. Saturday was our last game of the mid-season tournament. They lost 13-17. He had two great hits, but the other team just out hit us. Husband has been off work this week. He's been busy working on projects. He got our garden bed planted and done various other projects. Usually I feel stressed to keep the kids away from his projects, but this week wasn't so bad. Thursday, I took the boys to my parent's house to spend the day. Little Boy showed off his reading skills. I'm so proud of him. Earlier this week, Little Girl was complaining of a sore throat. I worried she was getting sick, but I wasn't sure if it was allergies or not. Anyway, it developed into a cough. I decided to keep her home from school on Friday, and she did end up running a fever off and on Friday and Saturday.
