This weekend we had our first weekend of the year of all three boys having games. Colin's soccer team fought a tough game and lost 2-0. Evan's team won their second game. He got to play first base a couple innings and got 3 outs which he was excited about. I offered to hold the assistant coaches 7 month old baby during the game, so he could have his hands free to coach. He was there on his own, without his wife. I loved every second of it, he was such a good baby. I have said it before, but if I lived in a different time where kids didn't have to go to college or be in school activities, I would probably have at least 6 kids. I absolutely love the 0-4 ages. I am sure I missed my calling and should have been an OB or labor and delivery nurse, I would have absolutely loved my job.
Anyway, last was Logan's first Tball game. He was very cute to watch. Of course there was some playing with dirt, because at this age only the "pitcher" and the first baseman get any action. He did great when he was pitcher though. He also did well hitting but always paused after the hit forgetting to drop the bat quickly and run, it was so cute!
Saturday my Mom called out of the blue asking if we wanted to go out on a date night and that she could come over and babysit that evening. That was a great surprise. It had been almost 3 months since our last date night so we enjoyed going to the movies and having dinner there. I have many friends that go out weekly as a couple and while we would love to be able to do that, babysitters are expensive and we feel bad asking family to babysit, because we feel like everyone is already busy watching other kids. So, our time alone together is few and far between. As a result, we do not hesitate to say yes if someone offers!
The rest of the weekend was spent with Dennis having many trips to Home Depot and getting the garden ready to plant some vegetables. I have always wanted a veggie garden and when we moved into this house there was already an abandoned garden bed. So, all week I spent pulling weeds, rocks and roots and tilling the soil to get it ready. Dennis then spent the weekend putting up a new fence (we are making the garden smaller than the original bed) and trying to make it bunny proof. He also bought a ton of soil to mix in with the old stuff. So, hopefully this week I will plant the seedlings and we will see how it goes. I am sure the first couple years will be some trial and error to see what works. But, we are very excited to give it a go.
