Batting Practice

Took the oldest boy to batting practice in Georgeville last night.  The regular fields weren't dry enough to play on, so the coach called all of the boys in our little area to see if they wanted to meet at the fire department for a little extra batting practice instead.  He had an absolute blast!  There were only 7 boys there, so they each got allot of one-on-one time with batting.  The good thing about baseball is, when you are standing around, you are throwing the ball back and forth.  He came home claiming that he could throw the ball farther than any of the other kids there, and was excited about his batting skills also.  They scheduled another practice for tonight, but it starts 30 minutes before basketball practice, so I don't know if he will make that one or not.  I tried to talk W into staying last night, because there were 2 other little brothers there practicing with the team.  He said he was waiting to do it with Granddaddy first.  So.....Dad?  The boys are ready to hit some balls with you at the park, ASAP!  Lol.  The school sent home a note for L, saying that he had to dress up for the Colonial Days Fair.  I had to sign it saying that I understood that he had to dress in the attire of the times, and that it is part of a grade for the third nine weeks.  They didn't even TRY to say "use what you have" on this one.  So, it will be back to Salvation Army for us again!  He states he has to wear a white shirt, a brown or dark colored vest, and some baseball pants.  If he thinks he is wearing those new, white, baseball pants to school, he is sorely mistaken!
