Baseball

Austin and I were driving around last night and ran across some kids playing baseball. He asked if we could watch so we did for a while. I'm glad he is finally showing interest in it. He asked all sorts of questions and wanted to know all of the rules. (Maybe there is hope for him yet).

Anyway, today was Austin's first game since it rained on Thursday. It felt pretty hot out there and the game before his ran over by 45 minutes. Those poor boys were rosey cheeked before the game even started. Austin did fairly well (got two hits with the coach pitching, one with the tee) and almost got someone out while playing second base. The happenings in the bleachers were much more eventful. A little boy fell on the bleachers and busted his mouth. After several minutes of not being able to control it, the mother left to take him to the ER thinking he may need stitches. Then, shortly after, a woman fainted. What an eventful (and bad) day for those people!

The internet

I think I am addicted to the internet. I have been sitting on the computer for at least an hour and a half looking at nothing. Who knew all of this useless knowledge existed. It is taking up premium space in my aging brain.

First Grade Girls

The other day Austin and I were talking in the car. He brought up the subject of girls. I think I have mentioned before that he is enamoured with a girl named Jennifer. However, he told me today that another boy is "into her" too. So, if she chooses him then Austin will have to find another girlfriend. He was debating between Elke (an extremely smart little thing-parents love her) and Alaina - a girl with beautiful blonde hair (Austin already likes the blondes) who is always always dressed impeccably. He decided on Alaina because "she's pretty cute...and sometimes she has cute shirts". Austin always has a way of putting his own spin on things and it always makes me laugh. He is such a treat to have around most of the time.
