My two baseball games today started at 11 and 3. Mimz and Daddy got me to Rothwood baseball park at 10am. It was going to be an entire day of baseball.
In the first game, I only had one at bat. I walked and then I stole second base and third base. I tried to steal home but ended up being put out. Oh boy! All of that was fun. What boy doesn't like to steal bases! At short stop and third base I had a couple of very good plays. Twice I stopped grounders and made good throws to first base but both times the batter barely stepped on the base before the first baseman caught the ball.
The second game was like the first game except it ended up tied at 8 all. I again had only one at bat, walked, stole second and third base but this time I successful stole home. And I had two great throws from third base to first base and to home plate to make outs!
Between the games the team had lunch under a tent in the park. We had hamburgers and hot dogs.
Mimz, Daddy, and Barbara were at both games. Mommy was at the second game until she had to leave to go to Faith Formation meeting for parents.
I missed my first Faith Formation class which is every Sunday at 4:15pm. Mommy has talked to the coach and explained about the conflict we will have when the team plays 3pm games. The coach said he knows the man who makes up the schedule and he requested that we not have 3pm games if at all possible.
Mommy found out what I have to do when I miss a class. It is more complex this year that it was last year. Last year we just had to work a page from our workbook and turn it in the next week. This year we have to do that plus do some work on-line.
Barbara took me home. I didn't want to take a shower that early because I still wanted to play with friends outside. Mommy came out and played catch with me until Cub Scouts and their parents started arriving to return popcorn they didn't sale. There were sales going on at four locations today. They brought back over $6000 in cash and had lots of sales on credit cards also. Lots of popcorn was sold. We are running out of the least expensive popcorn, which is a good thing. Now people will start buying the more costly corn.
A funny thing: My entire team had eye black under their eyes. Barbara didn't know what to use to get the black off, so she texted Mimz and asked her. She made a typing mistake and said she thought she would try using "gasoline" to remove the eye black. Mimz was concerned about our using "gasoline" on my face. "Vasoline" is what Barbara meant to type. Mimz thought soap and water in the shower would get rid of it. She was right. I put some soap on a washcloth and looking in a hand held mirror I easily got it off.
I was asleep before 9pm.
Today Andy and Kristan and their two babies moved to The Pond to live in the guest house until they find a new home to buy. Grandma and Papa needed to be there to get a few last things moved out so Andy could move in.
