T-Ball and Teamwork

Last week Landon had his very first t-ball game. I was unsure of how he would do going out on the field with his coach and team without having mom or dad out there. As it turned out he did awsome and was fairly outgoing. He kept asking his coach when it would be his turn to bat and sat patiently on the sidelines with the rest of his team while he waited for his turn. Once he hit the ball he would then casually walk to first base and when it was time to advance to the next base he would again casually walk there. It was pretty cute and he looked as if he could not be bothered to run. In the outfield he sort of just stood around and watched what everyone else was doing. Towards the end of the game he did field a ball and managed to throw it close to home plate, as directed. We are so excited for his next game when he will also have team pictures taken and mom will actually remember to bring his baseball glove. ;)Landon enjoys showing off for our little friend Danee and being the "big" kid for a change. They play really well together which is a good thing since we will begin taking Danee on a more perminent basis this week for three days and then next week we will begin watching her every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The boys always love having playdates with the Armstrongs and their parents love the fact that my boys have taught them to take their shirts off while they dance around or wrestle. Luckily Gracie is still young enough that it is not a big deal for her to go topless.
This day the kids decided to start their own band, called the Power Rangers. They made a bunch of paper signs that they hung up all over outside on our house and the fence, (since they were unable to leave the yard) advertising for a concert their band was having. Sean and Lucas made signs on the white boards and even went as far as standing on the street corner trying to persuade passerbys to stop in to listen to their band. As Sarah and I watched from the front window the two boys were able to tell a couple of the neighbors about their band but fortunately for me no one ever stopped for the show. They were pretty cute out there and it entertained them for an entire afternoon. As a mom I couldn't ask for more.
We tryed to get them to come in and put their shirts on but they would not go for it. As you can see with the snow still on the ground it was not quit shirtless weather.
