The Green Dragons: Summer, 2013 Tee Ball

We have had so much fun for the last 8 weeks watching Carson get into playing tee ball. The first game he was sitting on the ground, making friends with the baseman while on base, standing backwards....you get the point. Last night was our last game of the season and as he ran to the bathroom he told me, "Mom, I love hitting the ball off the tee!"  It is so nice seeing him have fun and learn some new skills. We're going to play with the same team for the fall season and then hopefully go with the same team to coach pitch in the spring. I kept saying every game that I would bring my camera and this was my last shot. I got photos of each kid hitting the ball and playing. These are a handful of the ones I got of Carson. He's such a ham. And yes, they named themselves early on "The Green Dragons". It makes me smile.

Carl was usually the 3rd base coach. :)

Just a snapshot of phone pics. These are the ones I instagramed and who knows how many I missed!

Free day at gymnastics. Sort of.

The boys' BMW won its class at the car show this weekend!

A trend of Max and not being clothed. Let's just say he's discovering his body. The two without a shirt were while he was wearing a onesie...... And he hates wearing a diaper. Yay me.

My goof butt.

Summer = Slip 'n Slide

I'm seriously doing my best, not sure if I'm failing or succeeding, to keep the boys entertained this summer. I got so used to Carson being in full day school so this has been a looooong break. I absolutely adore watching them play together though. Carson is so cute when plays with Max and I couldn't ask for him to be any better as a 5-year-old big brother. Yesterday morning I told him we could go play after I got a little work done. His response? "Okay Mom. I'll play with Max to keep him happy while you work."  See.

I saw a $4 slip 'n slide at Target a few weeks ago and it has by far been the best purchase in a while. I figured it wouldn't even work or something for that cheap, but it has been great. They have played on it at least a few days a week since bringing it home. Normally they play midday in the harsh light, but wanted to go out last night after tee ball practice. It was a good chance to catch a few moments in pretty light.
