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.
Man, this week was packed full. Monday was a normal school day. Little Boy had his last ball game of the season. They won, and they ended up winning their age group in our league because they only lost one leauge game. Big Girl also had a game. They didn't win, but it was a close one at 9 to 12. They were up to bat in the final inning and she hit a line drive that short stop robbed her of. Neither of our two base runners tagged up, so the other team got a triple play and ended our come back. Turns out about half of that team is from a travel ball team, so that made our game even more impressive to me. Tuesday, Big Boy had his second round of testing. I won't know anything about the results until later this month. We went to my parent's house after that. Big Boy's game got canceled Tuesday night because it was raining. I didn't mind the extra night at home this week because we have just been so busy. Wednesday was another normal school day. We are wrapping up a lot. We have finished our science unit for the quarter and we only have one more history lesson to wrap that up. I can't believe we only have two weeks left of school. Big Girl had pitching practice Wednesday night. And it was another emotional one. She's doing great though. The coach spent a good bit of time talking to the girls about how much of a mental game softball is, especially for the pitcher. I had to ask her if she would tell a friend the things she was telling herself. I hope that helps. Thursday, I had hoped we could go to the park, but even though it didn't rain on Thursday, everything was wet. We decided not to. Big Girl had her last ball game. Big Girl would get two strikes on almost every batter, and then they would hit or walk. She did much better staying calm, but she was really, really sad when the game was over. Mostly just that the season was over. Even though this group of girls wasn't our best team as far as knowing and playing the game, she said this group of girls was really nice, and that hasn't always been the case. Friday, we had another normal school day. Big Boy's last game was scheduled, but I just knew they would cancel it due to rain. But they let them play in the rain. We lost by one, but I was also proud of him because he played short stop in the first inning and caught a popfly. Then he got an out playing on the pitcher's mound. He had a good hit too, but he also had a piddly hit that he beat out the first baseman to the base. Saturday, the kids had a big gang of neighborhood kids riding bikes back and forth in front of our house. I always feel torn about them playing with neighborhood kids. More than one of these kids under 13 years old have a cell phone with (as far as I can tell) unfiltered access to the internet which scares me so much. I spent my day cleaning house. We've been gone every Saturday for over a month so I haven't been able to get as much done lately as I wanted, and it feels so nice to have cleaned what I did.
