We are having fun at home during our second week of summer break. Most nights have been spent at the ball field cheering on #20 and #10 as they are playing on two different leagues/teams this year. Zander is playing machine pitch (where there are six innings, outs count, there is an umpire present, etc.) Maddox is playing coach pitch (where everyone bats each inning and the goal is always to throw to first base and get the out if you get the ball in the field)! Currently, Z has games on Monday and Thursday nights with a practice another night and on the weekends. M has games on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Zack is helping coach M's team, and Z's coaches are really working with each player about the fundamentals! Maddox is having great hits almost every time up to bat from the coach pitching. He has only had to use the tee once in the games he has had so far. Zander is making great contact with the ball pretty consistently when he is up to bat. He has had many base hits and at his game last night, he had two in field home runs helping his team get five total runs at these two at bats. His team is undefeated at this point. I am loving every minute of cheering on both my boys!! I love seeing them work with their teammates and listen to their coaches as they learn all the basics of this sport! It is a short six week season but we are enjoying each night at the ball field!
Maddox is not a fan of shopping with daddy and sporting his mask! The governor has now stated that all adults and children over the age of 11 must wear masks in public to slow the spread of this virus. We are trying our best to model good behavior when it comes to slowing the spread of Covid-19.
We were able to celebrate my birthday last Saturday with my family at our weekly dinners at our house. I requested a cookie cake and ice cream which Grammy made sure to have and Zack entertained the kiddos by picking blueberries in the backyard!
Our neighbors were out of town this week and said we could come swimming anytime while they were away. We took advantage of their offer and went next door on three different afternoons this week. The boys are doing an excellent job swimming and really working to perfect their strokes and have more confidence and strength within the water!
Cheering on Z on Monday night!
Celebrated Wanda's retirement with our office staff by having a lunch catered for her last day at work!
We watched M at his game Tuesday night. Grammy and Grandpa got to join us. We tried to figure out the rules of the social distancing at the ball game Monday night so we are prepared to have extra spectators for future games! We stopped for a sweet treat afterwards!
On Tuesday night, the boys and I camped in the backyard!! Knowing it is getting warmer as we head into July, I figured this was the perfect night to follow through after I told them we could camp out sometime this summer!
On Wednesday and Thursday, I helped with interviews for our next assistant principal. We fit in some pool time and walks to get some energy out since the boys spent many hours being quiet while I was on the computer participating in interviews. On Thursday, we had Grandpa and Grannie at the boys' games. Since both boys were playing at the same time, Grandpa stayed with Z and Grannie and I went between both games while Zack stayed with M the whole time.... it worked out perfectly to see both boys in action. Grammy is out of town and I know she is looking forward to seeing the boys play again next week! Grannie was able to spend the night and fit in a leisurely morning complete with a family bike ride before she headed back home!
