4th annual

Pop Pop diligently chalking the field...and do you notice the mow lines too?

Totally authentic field we play on each year. What am I going to do when next year, he will have officially out grown the last of the 8 Gymboree baseball shirts I have bought him over the years? Maybe dress like his idol? Otherwise known as Sam (his cousin).

The clothes may have to change...but the Lego phase I believe...is just beginning.

Thank you once again to Grammy K and Pop Pop for hosting the 4th annual 6th Birthday Baseball Party. He had a blast (and so did I).

Last game

I have a blog. I have two boys. And although I am sure there are 100 gazillion photographs in the world exactly like the ones here...it is my duty as a mother to share yet 4 more. Saturday was Coop's last game. He loved t-ball...was there a doubt that he wouldn't? He had a great season. He really is a wonderful baseball player and I swear I am not just saying that!

AND...yes, you see right...the coach let Duncan play!! They gave him an honorary t-shirt and hat at the beginning of the season and he has gone to every one of Cooper's games in full attire and has patiently sat on the bench or in the dugout. He understood that he was too young to play and was happy to just hang with the team.

He actually played pretty well considering he did his fair share of flirting with his very captive audience.

Stepping into it just like Dad taught him. Isn't he just the tiniest pipsqueak? My goodness he's so darn cute!

blogging baseball and bye bye

Yes there was no Green Tuesday...GT and I are coming to an end I believe. There are many reasons for my needing to say goodbye, but first and foremost it's just not fun anymore. And a hobby needs to be fun, not work. Then there are the "tips"...they are becoming more and more obscure and quite frankly unrealistic. I just don't want to plan a green vacation were I take my hybrid to the campsite, pitch a tent, sleep on an organic mat, take no plastic and shower twice in a week. I mean, can't I just opt not to have my towels washed every day at the hotel or pass on the daily sheet changing? I totally love the idea of reducing my carbon footprint but realism needs to play a part. So if I hear of a great tip from time to time I'll pass it along...otherwise I need to get back to fun blogging (and baseball). Cheers
