Getting Outside

Maybe today's post should have been titled Breakfast Blues after this . . .

Oatmeal gone wrong
I was trying to thicken up my oatmeal and I guess I zapped it too many seconds.  Oh well!

As for Jase this morning, I offered to make him pancakes, waffles (the real ones, not in the toaster) and eggs.  He snubbed all those and opted for fruit and yogurt.  Oh well, at least he is eating.

I'm so glad we had our outside time yesterday after I picked them up from school, because today is yucky out.  Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about the rain, it just makes it hard to get out and do things and makes it very easy to be lazy!!  All 3 of us were in our pajamas until after 11:00!!  All is well now with everyone dressed and teeth brushed!

Jase worked on hitting off the tee in the backyard yesterday.  When he is paying attention and listens to instruction, then he can really connect with the ball.  Now catching is a whole other story.  His hands are so little, so squeezing the glove is pretty hard, plus he says that it hurts his pinkie finger . . . suck it up kid!  Kidding . . . sort of! ;-)  And most of the time his throws are pretty good too.  That is when he is not trying to pitch the ball or taking 100 years to throw it.  This season out to be interesting for sure!  Oh, and Shawn will be the head coach.  He originally signed up to be an assistant, but they were short on head coaches, so Shawn stepped up to the plate.  :-)  And another big announcement: we will be the Houston Astros.  Jase was excited about that.  They may not have the best record, but they are our home town team.  So family members, make sure you have an Astros shirt to wear to the games!

Allyson even hit the ball off the tee some too, left-handed.  And she would only use the purple wiffle ball, it was too cute.


Relaxing in the backyard
She went and got Mommy a chair too! So sweet!

Her little shoes were too cute all propped up on the teeter-totter
All 3 of us swinging in the backyard (yes, we need a new fence!)
