It's Over!

Baseball season is over! Wait, make that !!!!!!!!!

I love it when the season starts--the fresh air, the warmer weather, and seeing how excited Big pup gets when he hits the ball. These boys were all on the same T-ball team last year so it's nice to have them all together again, seeing how much they've improved and reconnecting with the parents.

But about halfway through the schedule, I start counting down the games. All the traveling to away games and 2 hour practices on school nights start wearing me down. Not to mention paying 50 cents for one ring pop at the concession stands. So I'm gladly hanging up my chauffeur hat for the summer, relaxing before soccer season starts in the fall, and stocking up on packages of ring pops from the dollar store.

  4. I hear you on this one! Welcome to my world, where with 3 kids we always have an in-season sport that requires traveling........some out of state.
    Enjoy the summer. Any vacation plans?

  8. LOL!!! I know what you mean! Those ring lolly pops really do come in handy, I would never have guessed! I only realised that when Papa and I went to one of BP's games!

  9. I was surely gonna suggest bringing your own ring pops! Concessions are extreme!

  13. Congratulations on making it through the season. My boys aren't really into the sports yet, but I think my, soon-to-be, second grader might play pee-wee football next year. We'll see. I won't be too excited about playing chauffeur either. Happy Summer Vacation!
