Morning Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan and Noah both had games in the morning today.  It was nice as their games were back-to-back.  For most of the season, when they've each had games on the same day, they've been separated by a few hours.  But today, they were both in the morning and then we had the afternoon to relax.

Evan got up first and came in our room.  My alarm was not set to go off for another 25 minutes so Evan laid down in bed with us.  Noah came in just as my alarm went off.

We got ready to go and put their uniforms on. Then we stopped at a donut shop.  Evan got the donut he really likes.  Noah got a cinnamon bun - though he still has not eaten it.

Noah's game was first.  The other team played well but Noah's team still prevailed.  I believe they are 14-0 though I'll have to check the schedule.  Noah got three hits and ran well as usual.  He seems to really enjoy playing which is great.  Half-way through Noah's game, I ran Evan over to warm up for his team.

Evan's team was playing the first-placed team in his league.  Evan had played them in the first game of the season.  They came back and won in the last at-bat.  Today, Evan's team totally dominated.  They invoked the mercy rule when Evan's team went up by 11 in the fifth inning.  It was great.  Every kid was hitting.  Evan continued his super hard hitting.  In the first inning, he hit a hard ground ball that the shortstop was able to get to in very deep short but he didn't have a play so it ended up a single.  In his second at-bat, Evan smacked a ball down the third base line.  The third baseman dove for it and barely got his glove on it, enough to deflect it in the corner in left field.  Evan wound up with a double.  Evan went between short and third in his third at-bat.  It was hit with such force that it rolled to the fence before anyone could get to it.  Again, Evan ended up with a double.

We came home and I got lunch ready for the boys while Rachel started the laundry.  We keep having to wash because of back-to-back games and we need the uniforms clean.  Especially Evan's uniform which always has dirt and grass stains all over it.

The boys watched a movie in the afternoon.

For dinner we went to Rudy's.  From there we went to the mall for Rachel to get a new watch battery.  The boys saved up money and put their money together to buy a Lego City set at the Lego store.

We came home and Evan is already in bed.  I don't know if I hear him so he may be asleep already.

Until next time..
