Catch Up Post - Fall

It's fall....well, actually, it's been fall for a while.  Here is a photo recap of what we've been up to. 

Playing/watching lots of baseball! C plays on a house AAA team, the Sand Gnats this season.  Here he is pitching (notice his tongue hanging out in the second picture.  Signature C when he is concentrating - exactly like his daddy!).

 

He also plays on a travel team, which provides a higher level of more competitive play (double headers every Sunday - yay for us! haha!).  He plays short stop for his travel team and loves every minute of it.

Walking to the plate

 

B's also playing baseball, Single A Brewers this season. His favorite positions are catcher and 1st base. Dad helps coach his team.  Between the two boys, we have four games every weekend - two on Saturday and two on Sunday.  Poor L watches an awful lot of baseball. 

 

 

 

Way back at the beginning of the season, I took the kids to our favorite local fall festival. We went on a Monday afternoon after school and basically had the place to ourselves.  And believe me, that is an accomplishment.  This place is ALWAYS packed! Even better, we had a coupon for 1/2 price tickets! Score one for mom!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To say that L enjoyed the slides would be an understatement (please ignore my really annoying manly sounding laugh at the end of this video.  Even better, turn the sound off so you don't torture yourself!)

We had big plans for some fall fun this weekend, but half of the family ended up sick - boo!  We did manage to get some pumpkin carving in this afternoon.  Hopefully everyone will feel well enough to head out trick-or-treating tomorrow night (and when I say "everyone", I mean mom and dad....nothing would keep these kids from their candy!).
