Baseball and Feeding Ducks!

Last Friday night was Chase's first baseball game of the season...we are getting a late start since the weather has been so bad...but he did great! He started off his hitting night with a triple...he wanted that homerun so bad, but his coach held him up at third...next time buddy!!!!
Chase hasn't played baseball in a year, but he decided to give it another try...I'm so glad he did. He is so cute out there...he does a great job...he played second base and left/center. He hustles and does everything he is suppose to do...I love watching him play. He always gives it 100%. I think he is glad he is playing...the only time he may have given it a second thought is when I told him he had to wear a cup....you should have seen his face! That did it for him...yes, the other kids have all gotten a kick out of it...and it has been the topic of conversation at the dinner table..hopefully he will get used to it. Otherwise he is awesome! Great job Chase!!!
I don't know if any of you are like us, but yes we save doing our taxes until the absolute last minute. We were up Sunday night until LATE and our good friend Brad bailed us out....thanks Brad! Your the best! We finished it up and sent it late last night....I guess one day to spare isn't so bad???
Monday was a "bad weather" day for the kids, and since we hadn't used it - they had off school. They have been wanting to feed the ducks, so since the day was beautiful we headed to the park. Jordan had "better" plans with her friends at the mall.. (of course). We had a great time with the ducks and enjoying the beautiful day. We used a whole loaf of bread feeding the ducks.
The ducks pretty much stayed in the water...they didn't come too close. Which was probably good. Last time we fed them, we got chased by a pack of them...they are fast little buggers! We had a great time and enjoyed the day off!

So fun. Who gave your kids a "bad weather" day? The school or you? How funny!!

yes, in Texas they give us that one day so if by some chance we get snow and have to cancel school, the kids won't "technically" miss a school day. The crazy thing is that it rarely snows, and this year it snowed twice in the same week...pretty bad and the kids didn't get a full day off!!! Go figure!
