Dentist day

The kids had their dentist appointments this week. Campbell did so well! Carter on the other hand was not so sure this time! Sometimes I feel like I get 2 steps ahead with 1 kids and then fall 2 steps behind with the other!

1st "game"

All chasing the ball!
Snack and pep talk after the game.
Ricky got the game ball.
Carter had his first baseball game last night. Actually it should have been the second game but opening day was rained out! Most of our practices were rained or snowed out too! So last night in about 40 something temps was Carter first "game." A game for this league isn't much of a game . . . everyone bats, everyone runs the bases, no one gets out, and they don't keep score! Yesterday the sun was in their eyes at bat so they batted from 2nd base! What a way to confuse them! It is quite humorous watching them. No one stays in their "position" so when the ball gets hit all 7 of them run and tackle each other for the ball! This is t-ball but they get 6 pitches from the coach first and then if they can't hit those they get the tee. Carter was able to hit off the pitches. He can not hit off a tee. All he does is hit the tee when he tries! It should be a fun season or at least a funny one!

The season of baseball

Carter trying on his uniform and being oh so silly! To this he said, "Look Mommy, I am a table!"
Carter's first year of baseball has started. Really it is t-ball but they don't always use a tee. They throw them 6 pitches and if they don't hit it, they bring out the tee. There are 7 boys on Carter's team, everyone hits and runs the bases, no one gets out, and they don't keep score. The next league up, all the competitiveness starts. Carter is really enjoying it. He can hit the ball but fielding is another story. We are also practicing running the bases. On Saturday they had a scrimmage and one time when Carter was on 3rd and was to run home, he ran across the field to 1st! We get many laughs at our children's expense! His uniform is HUGE; really I think 2 or 3 of Carter could fit in it and it is the smallest size they make! It is cute though! It has been so cold I haven't taken any pictures yet. Soon though there will be many pictures. Opening day is in 2 weeks!
