The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
This was a busy and challenging week. It was the first week in quarter four of our homeschool. Baseball and softball games started this week. And it was the week before spring break for us. So Monday was a pretty normal day. Tuesday, I kept a friend's daughter for the day. We met up at the park. The kids played for a while, and then I ran to pick up groceries. We did have to squeeze in some school, and then I took her to meet her mom. The boys both had first games. Neither team won. Big Boy's team was doing really well. They had 3 double plays that game, but they ended up having two bad innings. They couldn't recovery enough to bring back the win after that. Little Boy is only playing t-ball, and it's so chaotically funny. Wednesday was another normal day. Thursday, we didn't have co-op because they were having a geography and art fair that evening. I oringially planned to participate in that, but then there was a conflict with ball games. We went to a friend's birthday party at a local trampoline park. And then Big Girl had a double header for her first two games. The temperature in our area dropped on Thursday, and we froze our tails off at the games. Bless them. 10U Softball is not all that fun to watch. One girl on the other team literally got a homerun off a dropped 3rd strike and bad throws. Big Girl walked each game and played outfield even though she practiced at first base all practices. It makes no sense to me when a coach practices a kid in one position only to move them somewhere entirely different when games start. But she's only 9 so she has to earn her dues. Friday was tough. I had planned on a lighter school day in hopes of finishing school by lunchtime so I could spend the afternoon packing. But Big Boy didn't finish his school work until 3 pm. We had plans to celebrate Little Boy's birthday (which was two months ago), my sister-in-law's birthday (last month), and my mother-in-law's birthday which was Friday. We did presents and ate an early dinner, and then we had to get back to the ball fields for the boys to have games. They didn't keep score on Little Boy's game so I have no idea if they won or lost. Big Boy's game was pretty frustrating. The dugout mom and coaches messed up the batting order on accident of course and skipped Big Boy and the other team made a big fuss and he was called out without getting to bat at all. I know that is the rules, but there's a difference between being so focused on winning that you take it out on the kids. He's only 7. He's not in charge of the batting lineup. And maybe I wouldn't have been so upset if I didn't constantly feel like he was getting overlooked. He hasn't hit his stride with batting this year yet so he might not have gotten on base anyway. He's had some hits but they've been caught in the air or thrown out at first before he's gotten on base so far. Oh well. The big kids left Saturday morning with my parents. They went to Gatlinburg, TN. Saturday morning, I met up with my two nieces that have kids at the park and let the kiddos play. We stayed there about an hour. And then we spent the rest of the day at my mother-in-law's letting the boys play. They played so adorably well together all afternoon. There was zero fussing or arguing and zero fighting. I was having such a great time watching them just enjoy being with each other.
