Saturday -- T-ball and Birthday Party Fun

I had to work at a hospital on Saturday, so I had to miss Big A's game. That is the second game I have had to miss. It makes me feel like a bad mom, but I already had these days scheduled before I signed Big A up for T-ball, and it wouldn't be right to cancel out on the vet. I don't like for people to cancel on me at the last minute, so I try never to do that to anyone else.

Theresa took the girls to the game for me. She took along the camera to get some pictures for me. She said that Big A did pretty well, except hitting. I have to admit, we have not been practicing at home like we should. I have get to get her out to practice everyday. I was doing well earlier in the season, but I have really slacked off lately. There just never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done.

It sounds like it was a pretty good game. It went all 4 innings and the game ended up being tied. When I got back from work, I noticed a flyer that they brought back advertising winter basketball, So I asked Big A if she wanted to play that. She said no, that she wanted to be a CHEERLEADER! I hadn't noticed that they also had cheer leading for the basketball! Oh my, where have I gone wrong? My little girl wants to be a cheerleader!!! Groan.... I am sure that my Mom will laugh her head off! She probably prays every night that Big A will be the opposite of me in every way-- and it seems to be working! Well, that's okay, at least she wants to participate in activities. Maybe that will keep her out of trouble later in life, and encourage her already outgoing personality. I still will try to get her to play soccer when that season comes around. I think that she will actually like that sport.

After work, I took the girls to "S" 's birthday party (one of Big A's Classmates). The party was at Bouncin' Bob's. It is one of those indoor play areas with "moonwalks" and slides, etc. The kids all had a great time. Little A fixated on the giant slide-- she must have gone down it a hundred times! That place is great because it really wears the kids out!! Of course, Little A had to throw a mild temper tantrum when we got into the party room-- because I cut her cake into pieces! I guess she wanted to cut it herself! Since she wasn't able to take a nap before the party, I think a tantrum was inevitable.

The Girls Slide Down The Giant Slide!

Some of the mothers and I were discussing schools for next year. It will really be sad to split all the kids up next year. They have been in the same class for several years now. I really need to start researching schools now. I would love to send Big A to private school, but I just don't think that I can afford it. Three kids in private school would be a fortune. Fortunately, the public school in my district is pretty good, so I've heard. Well, I still have some time to look into it-- but not much--- time seems to be flying by at the speed of light.
