Ramblings..

This has been a SLOW couple of days. Monday we had our usual Monday night baseball game. Ethan is doing so well! I received the nicest email from one of his coaches, I was so proud of him I had to share a part of it. "Carey and I are both delighted with Ethan's play - he really has great hand-eye coordination and understands baseball so much more than most kids in that age group. And he is a real pleasure to have on the team...maybe the most coachable kid I've seen in the 4 years we have played at BPAA. " It feels so good as a mom to hear great things about your child. I am so happy that Ethan is enjoying the game but it is so nice that he is learning how to work as a team and how to get along with others and respect the adults. Emails like that just reaffirm that I am doing a few things right when it comes to my kids.

Tuesday was SLOW, too! :) We were going to pick strawberries with our friends Abby, Maddy and Fletcher but the orchard wasn't "picking" that day. I was disappointed, Ethan and Scarlett were so looking forward to going to the orchard. We are going to try again Friday, so I hope it works out this time. Instead of picking strawberries I cleaned house. Not my idea of fun. I had to find a organized place to put all of Scarlett's new toys. It is organized for now and looks neat.. but tomorrow that will be a whole different story.

Lastly we watched American Idol. I am so sad that it is coming to an end. We watch very little regular television but we are hooked on AI! I just LOVE David Cook! He is no Chris Daughtry..but he is pretty good. In honor of our final week of AI Scarlett sat down today and sang a little song for me.. you may recognize it. She was in quite the singing mood and acting SILLY! She has a natural flair for drama. :) Hope you have a great Wednesday.
