Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
I spent part of today preparing things for our short trip to St. Louis. I ran some errands, made our lunch for the St. Louis Zoo, did lots of laundry, packed the kids clothes, and packed my clothes. It’s just an overnight trip so we don’t need to take too much. It should be fun though! Zoo on Friday, followed by a stay at a Drury Inn and swimming, Meramac Caverns on Saturday, and then home!
We sold the toddler beds to a family with three-year old twin boys. It was harder than I thought it would be, because we really do have no more toddlers in the Kassel household. The twin boys were very excited about their new beds, and I’m very glad the beds will be loved and used. The Mom of the twin boys was really excited and loved the beds. She said, “Thank your Dad for making them so that my boys can love them as much as your kids did.”
A tiny crown tiara and a Corona!
Mowing time has arrived! Andy’s Mini-Me always appears when he mows. Mini-Me has been asking for at least a week if Daddy was going to mow. Today, Mini-Me’s wish came true!
It was a beautiful day for a baseball game! The weather was absolutely perfect. We used our free passes to watch Mizzou defeat the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 4-2. We all had a great time at the baseball game. John got tired for the last third of the game as the game started right at his nap time, but Laura was very curious and asked Andy all kinds of questions. I think both kids really enjoyed their first time at a baseball game. Laura cheered as loudly as she could whenever the Tigers would score a run. M-I-Z! Z-O-U! John just enjoyed being there. He likes all things sports even if he does get bored easily…he is only three after all! We stayed the entire game and just enjoyed the entire experience. On the trip home, I assumed that John would fall asleep, but he was wide awake. Laura, on the other hand, went right to sleep and even continued to sleep AFTER we arrived home. An afternoon at the ballpark must have been one exciting experience!
Two weeks ago, Laura received free passes for four to the Mizzou baseball games for this weekend. The University does this for Columbia Public Schools to a lot of different sports.
Friday’s game was rained out. As the weather was questionable all day on Friday anyway, we didn’t even attempt to go to the game. We decided we would go on Saturday. We got everything ready and headed out at 5 pm for the ballpark. We arrive and discover that because the game was rained out on Friday, they moved up the Saturday game and played a double header starting at 1 pm. So, we got to see the bottom of the 8th and top of the 9th and a Mizzou win. It is our plan to attempt Game #3 at 1 pm tomorrow!
…with Friday evening beverages, a nice bottle of red wine (Relative Red) that we haven’t had before.
