It is last call for pre-order Girl Scout Cookies! If you want any, please let Laura know!
A Little More Progress
I made a little more progress on the front landscaping bed today. A few more blocks are moved and four more bags of rubber mulch are gone.
Agony
Waiting to be picked up for a birthday sleepover is agonizing…
Practice, Buddy, Practice
Everything has been transferred to the new baseball bag.
#51 is ready!
The first practice was successful, but hard. It was John’s first time batting with a pitching machine. I could tell he was disappointed this morning. He said, “That machine was so hard! I only made one really monster hit, Mom.” I smiled and said, “Practice, Buddy, practice. In two months, that machine is toast, but, right now, it’s the hardest thing ever. Practice, Buddy. Practice.” John said, “I wonder if Kris Bryant ever felt like this.” Yes, Buddy, I bet he did…
First Practice
It has really begun. John had his first competitive baseball practice tonight. I have no idea where this will lead (if it leads anywhere), but I am proud of him for trying despite being nervous and scared. Just get the ball in play, John. Ball in play.
Copic Markers
Santa’s last present for Laura finally arrived today. His elves do not make these in the workshop, so he had to have them shipped. The Copic markers are a specialty art marker that came all the way from Japan. This kid is excited to try them out!
Decorating
The decorating struggle is real. Andy and I are working on moving some things around in our downstairs family room, so we can finally display the clock that Dad made us for our wedding again. We also hung up a shelf that Dad made for us in our very first apartment before we were even married. I think I like the shelf at the bottom of our stairs, but I think the space around the clock is just too bare now. Andy just shook his head at me. This is going to drive me nuts until I can fix it. Maybe I am just too picky.
