Super Seedlings

Tonite the family attended a Super Seedlings event with a local garden group. We guessed which seeds were which, had a little snack and talked about planting a garden. We took home a rosemary plant and CJ and Mama each planted a tomato seed in a newspaper pot that we made. We'll have to see how these grow - historically Mama hasn't had much luck with seeds.

Big B aka Sun Dog

Big B went outside for a little break and since the sun actually made an appearance, he decided to lay down for a while in the vinca and take a break. He's always loved the sun.

Healthy Eating

This art of CJ's has been hanging in a window in the front door for a little while. See how she is eating a healthy apple on her plate? The funny thing is how great she captured the kitchen table and bench area. She's getting good.

And the First Batter Is...

The weather was iffy for the first t-ball game, but turned out to be cool and dry. CJ was slotted in as the first batter for each of the three innings, while she played several different positions in the outfield. The night ended with a chocolate cupcake one of the families brought. Daddy filled in as 3rd base coach, telling the kids to run and Mama helped keep the batters in their lineup order. It takes a village.

Opening Day

We joined many other kids and parents for the opening day pancake breakfast celebration. Here's CJ showing off her uniform:

And enjoying "running the bases" with her team, giving high fives to all the other kiddos.
The sun was out for the majority of the morning, but just as we were leaving the hail arrived. We didn't have a game today, but did have practice scheduled and the sun was nice enough to come back for that, with wind and rain blowing in just as we were about to wrap up anyway. First game is next week. Weather permitting.

Chuck E Cheese, The Artist

CJ's been on a short school schedule the last two weeks for Spring Break. Today there was no school and we had planned to meet up with some friends. We were planning on doing something outside, but the weather wasn't looking so good in the morning so we ended up at Chuck E Cheese for lunch and some fun. CJ was lucky enough to win 34 tickets at one game, but really one of the more fun things to do for a token was to have your picture "drawn" by Chuck E at this photo booth. Of course when we got out of there we realized that the sun had come out...

CJ's Dream Car

CJ had a short day at school today so we had a few minutes before gymnastics, but not really enough time to go home and still make it on time. So we ended up walking a few doors down to Voodoo Donuts, where CJ found this awesome pink car. You think Daddy would be up for painting his like this?
