Play Ball

The other day we had a little spare time, so we decided to play some sports outside. Of course no one wanted to do the same sport so we had to drag a ton of stuff up the stairs and outside (can't wait to move). Here is M playing basketball:

 Meanwhile J and P played baseball:

P was funny because I kept showing her how to hold the bat with two hands, but as soon as she got in place to hit the ball she would let one hand go and just bat one-handed:

After a while the kids got tired and played in the dirt. Then after Miss P left and M went inside to talk Grandmomma's ear off, J wanted to play "toss" as he called it. So we were throwing the ball back and forth and I was stepping back to grow the distance between us. Eventually he started not being able to catch the ball so I said "J keep your eye on the ball." Next thing I know he has one eye closed and one eye open trying to catch that ball! It was so stinking cute and I just luuuuv that little guy!

Another day we charged the Jeep up and Mr. J carried it outside. We drove it to feed our friends' fish and then to the park and then back home. People waved and honked at the kids and M told me she felt famous! That girl loves some attention! When we got home she gave the neighbor kids each a ride and then we had to go in for supper. Fun times!
