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.
Monday I started getting a sore throat. Little Girl had a scrimmage game Monday night. Tuesday, we went to the park with some friends before getting groceries. Little Boy had martial arts, and Little Girl had softball practice. Wednesday, Husband was off work for Juneteenth. We went for a walk and then he went swimming with the boys while I ran next door to help our elderly neighbor with something. Little Girl had batting pracitce Wednesday night. Then Thursday, we spent the day at my parent's house. We had to leave a little early because Little Girl's All Star tournament started and she had a pool game that night. They lost 22-0. If the team they played during that pool game didn't win the championship I would be surprised. Friday was my birthday. We woke up and got busy getting ready. I did open a few presents, but I had to take the kids to the tournament. Husband couldn't get off work for the first game of the day so I carted the kids off by myself. They lost the first game 15-1. That was another team that did really well, and I bet they won second or third in the tournament. We had a break between games so we ran to BK for lunch. My parents took the boys home with them so I could go back to the tournament and focus on Little Girl. Our second and last game of the day Friday we lost 19-11. That was a much closer game and more on our level. The girls just made a lot of bad throws that resulted in the other team getting to run the bases on them. They hit much better in that last game though. Little girl got several balls to her out in left field and she stopped them all (but 1). I was so proud of her. She hit pretty well too. Husband picked up Pizza Hut for us for dinner which I appreciated so I didn't have to cook on my birthday. Saturday, I wasn't feeling the best after being out in the sun all day Friday and being sick. The kids did go swimming, but they weren't behaving the best and didn't last long in the pool. I was torn between wanting to clean up the house and needing to rest.
