Busy Ballers!

It's that time of year again! We only have 20 days of school to go! I say "only" because I have to make sure these little punks know everything they need to by the time they leave me! It's cram time! It is so crazy at work and home! We begin year end testing this week. We will be testing off and on for about two weeks. The kid-os are anxious for summer to get here! Believe me when I say, teachers are just as excited! I love having summer off. It's going to be my first summer off, not having a huge project going on.

Ball has begun! It is going to keep us busy, busy, busy! Payton is playing pitching machine this year. This is the first year they actually play real baseball. They call outs, keep score, and get real uniforms! He is so cute in his uniform by the way. He looks like such a big kid out there on the field. I gave him the pep talk on Saturday about how "it doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you do your best." Jory was like, "good one coming from you Meg!" Ha. Ha. Jory is the coach again. This year we are the Cubs. They had their first game on Saturday. We won with a 4-1. Little P scored two of the four! He has games 2-3 times a week! Jory is about to die that so many are on Saturdays. He might not get to rope to often for awhile!

My softball is starting up again. We start games tonight. My goal this year is to relax and not be so hardcore. I'm not getting behind speeding balls anymore! For those of you who forgot... This is the outcome of doing that:


Day after ER


Day #2 (hence the peace sign)


Day #3

That is what happened to me almost a year ago. I had taken half of the next day off to go on the field trip with PJ's class. I think I freaked all the kids out. "Hi Kids. I'm your teacher next year!" Yea, yea, laugh it up! I know you are.

You crack me up. You're the only person I know that takes a hard one to the eye and keeps on playing.

You rock!

Cute pics. :) Garrett and I enjoyed them! Congrats on the bowling thing. I always thought it would be fun to be on a team too, but quickly remembered that I suck at bowling. Although, I don't know if you were at Ashley yet when I got high score at the staff bowling party. Sadly, that score was like a 130 or something. Good times. Hope you're doing well. Summer will be here soon!
