Blastball

Piper started blastball today.  Hopefully for Shane's sake, we get someone who likes sports.  She used to watch baseball on TV with him so maybe she'll be our sports star.  Luckily, I talked her out of wearing a dress to blastball practice.  That only took 10 minutes and some bribery.  As athletic as Teagan is, she didn't want to play this year for some reason.  I asked her today and she said it was because she wanted to play soccer because "I love it sooo much, Mom".  Ok??  Piper is playing both so I'm not sure why she can't.  Oh well.  Other then Shane getting called in to work and Chloe being ticked off because it's "sooo hot" and she had to keep an eye on Aftyn, it was pretty fun.  Piper needs to work on her catching skills but she can bat pretty good.  She had a couple of great hits off the tee.  She needs to work on her fielding skills too but what do you expect from a 4 year old with older sisters that aren't into sports??  She did a pretty good job, I'd say!!   We have soccer on Monday...Teagan and Piper.  I'll let you know how that goes if we don't get rained out...

This afternoon, Melissa decided she would fill up the pool for Cael.  That seemed like a good idea.  It was hot and somewhat sunny.  Piper and Cael had other ideas.  They decided to turn the sandbox into a beach--a WET one!!  At least half of the pools' water was in the sand box and Piper turned her flip flops into little boats.  Isn't that just creative?  They were a mess but having lots of fun!!  Enough for now...-AS
