first week of the season and a little sugar

Quincy
Preston

And Cameron all had their first league games this week. It was a busy week, with lots of chilly nights at the ball park. So far, there has only been one rain out! Which is amazing since we are officially in monsoon season here!
Colin has been playing this week too, but I like to take photos of the kids in their uniforms before their first games, you know, before they get stained up and stretched out!

Harper loves to eat. She is especially fond of sugar, and we have had to relocate ours in the pantry because she had herself a little feast! There was sugar all over the floor, and she had a nice Santa beard!

And although she is mostly afraid of loud noise, she comes running to the mixer - hoping to get a beater! She reminds me of a cat we had who came to the can opener!

It is now time for the holiday weekend. I am looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend where we pretend that we have no responsibilities! I am sure that this is not going to happen, but for today that is what I am dreaming of!

Side note on the ball uniforms - for YEARS Mallory was on teams who got to pick out their own uniform colors. She would proudly stand there and yell out "How about ORANGE?" and the kids on her team would turn up their noses....and she would end up playing on a green, blue, or red team. Well, Quincy came home with her uniform the other night - including a bright orange shirt- and Mallory has not gotten over it yet! Quincy told her that when the season is over, she can have the shirt! :)
