Watch Out!! The Tigers Are in a Mood!!

This day just was not what I expected. Sarah had a dentist appointment and luckily (yes, so *lucky*) they were able to work me in too. When I was little I had sealants put on my teeth that were supposed to prevent cavities, but now we find out that actually you can still get cavities, but you don't know it until years later when the sealants wear off and the cavities are really bad. Yay! Long story short, I had to get 5 fillings and LUCKILY someone cancelled their appointment this afternoon so I am waiting to go back and get 6 more filled. Aren't you just jealous of my luck? So, instead of doing a load of laundry or something productive, I decided to blog and dribble my milkshake all over me and the computer. :)

I thought I would share some new pics from the latest t-ball game (also known as our only social outing of the week). The first game was on a Sat. morning, but from now on they will be on Friday nights at 6:00 or 7:00. I quickly discovered early morning was a better time for our little tigers. They sure were grumpy by 6:00 Friday night! There was a lot of crying, fit throwing and sitting down in the field going on. They must have felt the way I do today!! I looked at one point and two of our guys were off the field standing around eating some chips. Another one was in the bathroom. I have to say that t-ball is the most active sport I've ever played. Yes, I said I. I hope you can see in the pictures that it truly takes a village to get 3 and 4 year olds to play ball and you know when they ask me to coach 3rd base they are desperate! I literally had to run to 1st base and get some of the kids and run them around the bases! Speaking of first base, there is Eli at his new position on 1st. Either he doesn't want his picture taken, or he doesn't want to see how out of hand all of this has gotten!





Please don't ask what is going on in this first picture, I still don't know! But do you see the dad and the grandma consoling the outfielder? I love it! Nothing brings families together like fussy t-ball players! The little girl from the other team does not seem impressed at all with Eli's catcher pose. And yes, there is one of our players sitting in the outfield while the other team runs the bases!


I don't know if I've told you, but t-ball has become the greatest stress relief and laughter invoking time of the week for me. It's exhausting. But it's FUN!!!

Those pictures are hilarious!! I can't wait for J to be old enough to play. And what a workout for you if you're having to run bases with them. The upside is you don't have to exercise now:)

One thing though - from a long time softball player, you must keep some sort of score. I'm a big believer in winners and losers!! Not keeping score is just socialism where everyone is equal - LOL!! It looks like that might be difficult though:)

So sorry you had a rough day at the dentist. Love the pics. I have to come to a game one friday! I'll try to talk to you sometime this weekend (if the novacaine has worn off by then!)

Yes, Karen, you definitely have to come. Lori, we would never in any way want to promote socialism, but I have to say we can't even keep up with the kids, much less the score!!
