Luke's Blast Ball

Luke started playing Blast Ball last week, it is a preschool version of softball. They hit a ball that is on a tee and run to a base that honks when they jump on it. The other team is trying to get the ball and hold it up in the air yelling "blast" before the kid reaches the base. Very simple.

Luke was really excited about this at first but I have to admit it went a little rocky last week.

The problem is that at this age skill level varies so much just in one year. I think its for kid 4 -5 so the kids who are 5 going on 6 are a little more cordinated at chasing and getting the ball. Luke got very frustrated along with quite a few other kids that they could never get the ball, so eventually Luke just gave up and said he didn't want to play anymore. So next weeks the coach i going to switch it up. All the kids are going to line up and take turns chasing and getting the ball so everyone has a chance. Lets cross our fingers and hope all goes well.

Either way look how cute he is in that baseball cap. My little man!

Serious face

Silly face!Run !!!!!!!!!!!!

Kitchen

So I finally got a kitchen painted and put together. There are still a few things I want to do but those will have to wait till after the bathroom is done. I have to say my favorite thing about this kitchen is the mass quatities of cupboard and counter space. I know its not huge but its great for our families needs

Bathroom Renovation

So I am going to try and make this short

1. Dad's coming into town
2. Broken bathtub faucet (no showers in guest bath)
3. James removes faucet and destroys copper piping.
4. James removes shower wall panel to replace copper piping.
5. James break pvc piping
6. James Floods bathroom 3X
7. Sara repeats in her head "I love my husband, I love my husband, I love my husband!"
8. Dad calls and says he can't make it.

Okay so I am giving James a harder time than he deserve! I have to say he has been an awesome sport about the whole thing especially since it was my idea to fix it and neither of us really knew what we were doing. He has been pretty much putting the whole this back together by himself (and with the most appreciated help of Colt Cooper).

Now we are still in the process of renovating and tiling the walls but here is picture to show what, the kids call "the broken bathroom", looked like after it flooded the first time. More pictures to come.

Update

The part you can't see is that she had on her pink n purple rain boots. Quite the outfit.

The food

The Fun! (this is part of our front yard) Yes I did on a different occasion participate in the slip in slide fun, but only when no one besides James and the kids could see me sliding down it like a beached whale.

Ride em cow girl!



Oh the joys of pregnancy (sarcastic). It is now 2:30am and here I am wide awake after laying in my bed trying to fall asleep for an hour. If I could only be this alert during day, Oh! the irony. Well for now I will embrace it and do something productive, tomorrow I will be feeling the consequences. I am only writing this because I suffer from pregnancy amnesia and I want to be able to look back and remember the realities of it.

We killed the animals
