eeeeeeeEEEEEWWWWWW alert!

As the kids and I were heading out to dinner tonight..
 because Bob went out on his motorcycle...
And I do not like to cook...
and it was raining....
and all the leftovers had been eaten...
and I had spent all day on the computer...
and I don't like to cook. Or I should say I don't like to figure out WHAT to cook....
and the dishwasher was full because the kids had not emptied it.
Anyway...going down the driveway we saw a black snake. They say black snakes are
good to have, they keep away mice and all but oh, my goodness....YUCK!

Culpeper Girls Softball

Culpeper girls softball is in full swing...no pun intended. They have struggled in the beginning.with the pitching and catching but it is all starting to fall into place. The pitcher for the Nat's is a friend of Sophia's and I love it when they go up against each other. She is quite the athlete and it will be interesting to watch her in the next few years.

Two blue eyes girls below!
A little father/daughter pep talk....

Stop your giggling Ivy.
They called her out...but I think she was safe.

From Each Day....

She is so cute! She had an awesome inning and you can tell by the big 'ol grin her face.


SAFE!

Kids, a ball and a dog. And a husband too!

Every day when we go to lacrosse Carter says "I wanted to play baseball".  Too bad kid, your playing lacrosse. Some days I swear he grows roots on that field, standing there twirling his stick..."Carter! Your not a majorette GO AFTER THE BALL!"  It's not that he does not want to play lacrosse, he really does not want to even play baseball what he really wants to do is play if flippin DS games. Bob and I let the boys sit out one season of sports, what a mistake that was. It was months of arguing about sitting around doing nothing.  Please don't go telling me about how kids need down time about how we over schedule our kids these days, they need time to be kids....blah, blah, blah. I think there are too many kids who have WAY TOO MUCH DOWNTIME. I work in a family therapy office, I see the kids that are left to their own devices.


Even Miss Lb.(Martha)  has had too much down time...she has put on a few too many lb's for her health, it was a long winter of hibernating. I dragged her to the field to walk while the kids practiced...she was very happy.

Even Bob came to visit. He thinks he is so cool. He is, but I'm not telling him that.




I have been working on my black and whites...can you tell? They are missing something. I think I am going to purchase some actions. Not sure which ones. A friend suggested Totally Rad Actions have you tried them? Do you have any suggestions?

Culpeper County High School Prom

Prom night for the Culpeper County High School was last Saturday and I have been photo editing my little fingers off. My eyes are doing funny things after scrolling through so many photos and I am having nightmares, I mean dreaming about high school. I know everyone can relate to the fact that it really was not that long since we went to the prom. Even if it was 25 or so years ago it feels like last week.
The bigger the hoop and more taffeta the better and  I am sure we depleted the ozone from all of the Aqua Net hairspray. It had to be perfect and it had better stay that way  through a Nor'easter that would blow into northern Minnesota.Thankfully those trends have faded but a lot of the memories that we have will remain.

They will remember how intense their feeling are. Songs will play on the radio and they will immediately be back at the country club, dancing to that song, feeling everything they felt that night.

Martha would be so jealous of us at the beach with another dog with a BALL!

From Each Day....

He also brought a few really silly friends.

And Sam found a stick. A crooked stick to walk the crooked mile.
That is about how far we walked and the stick was soon discarded.

From Each Day....
