Baseball Madness

It seems like when Baseball starts things just get downright crazy! There were a couple of weeks that between regular scheduled games and make up games that Stratton played 4-5 times a week! Crazy right?? They are all getting much better by now (the end of season) but Stratton has done well all year. He’s played 3rd most nights and First a couple of times. He is a Red Sox this year, and is on a team of all 5 year olds, which would make you think they’d play a little better?? Not really!! They are keeping score this year, so it’s been a little more interesting! But I’m not sure what the tally is- I’m certain that we’ve lost more than we’ve won though! We’ve had a couple of interesting moments where things got heated! But overall it’s been a good season. His last game is on June 1st. They have a couple of make up games after that but we will be at the beach, so he’s going to just miss them!

Batting!

Arden has been a little bit of a handful this year. The bathrooms are a little bit of a walk and since she is using the potty now we have to go at least once if not twice a game! One night I missed Stratton bat twice!

Kindergarten Graduate!

This past year just flew by! I can’t believe it’s time for school to be out already! We had a pretty good year. Stratton did a lot of growing up this year and learned SO much! His teacher, Mrs. Rankin was on her 26th year of teaching. She is retiring after this year so it was neat that he was in her last class. She told him they were a really special group of kids.

Stratton’s Kindergarten celebration program was on May 28th. Valley View has 12 kindergarten classes this year so they had to have 2 separate programs, 6 classes at each. Luckily Stratton’s class was in the first group which got the earlier program time! But the parking was insane! There were lots of supporters at the program!! It was a really cute program. They sang and danced to several songs, which is always entertaining with a big group of 5 and 6 year olds!

So I don't know what's up with my blog editor, but I've been using Live Writer on my PC and it's always been great. . . until recently. I'm not sure what's going on but it won't let me upload anything. It keeps telling me my login and password are wrong?! Not sure what that is about!!

I hope to figure out what the heck is going on and get it fixed soon!

Now that school and baseball is almost over I hope things will slow down a bit for the rest of the summer! Hopefully I will have time to stay on top of the blog thing more!!
