I can't believe that I have the energy to write this after the crazy day that I had -- I will let the pictures do most of the talking ...
9am: Opening day ceremonies for Ethan's baseball team
 |
| Here come the Brewers! |
10 am: Opening day ceremonies for Olivia's softball team (at a field 25 minutes away from Ethan)
 |
| a little fun before the ceremony |
11am: Olivia's team photo & Ethan to the field for his game
 |
| No, this is not the official team photo! |
12:00: Ethan's game
 |
| a little sisterly love for good luck! |
Sadly, this was Ethan's only at bat during the game and he got hit by the opposing pitcher (who happens to be one of his best friends!)
 |
| It's never easy to be sitting on the bench ... |
Even though they lost the game 9 - 8, the kids played a good game and managed to have some fun!
2:30: Drop Ethan at the house for lunch and get Olivia to the field for her game
It wouldn't be a game without my kids panhandeling Joy, myself, my parents, my sister and/or pretty much anybody who is sitting near us for concession stand money. Luckily between the suckers (oooh, sorry Aunt Leigh Ann), the tooth fairy, and Easter money from Grandma & Pop Pop, they managed to get their sugar fix for the day!
 |
| It is hard to be the little brother sometimes |
3:00: Olivia's game
 |
| Go Hurricanes!! |
 |
| I may be wrong, but opening your eyes may help a little! |
 |
| Nooooo, don't swing at the high pitches! |
 |
| Run like the wind Olivia ... |
Olivia is still coming into her own as a softball player; sometimes it is just more fun to daydream and play in the dirt!
 |
| ooops, there goes the ball ... |
4:00 -- OK, now I know that they were calling for rain all day, and we watched the big gray clouds rolling in, but I am convinced that Olivia's "rain dance" (performed while she was simultaneously playing shortstop) brought it on much sooner effectively ending her game in the 3rd inning:
4:30 Pizza for dinner, and bedtime for Mommy -- can't wait to do it all again!
