A Nice Weekend...

This makes up for the crappy day I had last Tuesday. It was a nice, generally quiet weekend in our household. Friday was a blur - I can't remember a darn thing that went on.

On Saturday, Son #2 played his second baseball game of the season. His team won, primarily by walking and stealing bases. I'm told that this is pretty typically for the first season of kid-pitched ball. They're getting used to pitching, swinging at balls pitched by kids who are also new to pitching, learning to steal bases and bunt, and adjusting to a larger playing field.

Son #2 was walked to first base, managed to steal second, and then later on snuck past third and stole home. His team is 1-1 right now. They lost their first game (last Saturday) and was rained out on Tuesday night's game.

After the game, we took a leisurely drive around town. Dear Hubby and I were checking out various neighborhoods and trying to get a feel for the real estate market. Our evening plans, dinner with another family, were canceled because the other family's son was ill.

On Sunday, Dear Hubby and I went to an Open House in our neighborhood, then to his dad's house (also in our neighborhood) for a barbecue. His sister, Son #1 and I left early because I teach Son #1's 6th grade CCD (Catechism) class on Sunday evenings and I recruited Sis-in-law #2 to assist me. It went well. Dear Hubby and my other kids met us at Church and we attended 7:30 p.m. Mass.

Not exciting, not particularly eventful, not a lot of running around, just a nice weekend.

Actually, this weekend seemed less busy that usual. Makes for a dull blog, though. (LOL) Dear Hubby taught for a few years. I taught Son #2's 2nd grade class a few years back. It was nice, but I swore I was finished. I'm a softie, though. I hope you're settling in to the new house.

My daughter was in softball this past summer, and that's how their games went. Walk walk walk walk, makes for a long boring game...but they ahve fun, and they're learning how to play.

Yep, flip flop mamma, it's *exactly* like that. The first game was two-innings long (that took an hour and 15 minutes). I hope this evening's game is a little more action-packed. ;-)
