Week in Review - Baseball & Bubbles

Monday morning, while we were all getting ready, we found Hollon like this. Relaxing in her pajamas playing with her camera.

Brother had a baseball game Monday night

Afterwards, we ate at Buck's Creek. The kids love it there because they have arcade games.

Ready for school on Tuesday

I took her outside to try to get some better pictures of her dress. It was just a plain regular cheap-o Old Navy dress. I added the fuchsia pompoms at the bottom & sleeves (well, I bought them, Mimi actually sewed them on) and I monogrammed it. I was so excited with how it turned out. But all throughout the day, the pompoms started falling off the strings. So Hollon left a pompom trail everywhere she went.

She could have cared less about my attempted photo shoot

Bring it on Wednesday

Messy hair don't care

I finally wised up and bought an automatic bubble blower. Why on earth did it take me this long?!?!? The kids (even Jake!) loved it!

(Warning, way too many pictures overload. They were just so excited.)

Some of Jake's neighborhood friends came over. Any time they come, our driveway looks like a bomb exploded. 

They all got wet spraying each other with water guns, so I took out the sprinkler and let them run around in that. 

Ready for Thursday

Looking over her list

Hollon reading one of her favorite books, Goodnight Moon

Thursday night, Jake played in a tournament with some different boys from his league. They have been doing coach pitch all year, but this tournament was machine pitch. Jake's one time up to bat, he got a hit. But our team got killed. Which meant we had to be back in Trussville at 8 Saturday morning.

Friday was Hollon's last day of school for this year. But there will be a different post on that!

Back at the ball field early Saturday morning.

 Little sister did her thing, and as usual watched none of the game

She stole an older girl's Mad Libs & pencil and refused to give it back

The good thing about playing the early game, is if you loose (which we did), you still have your whole Saturday!

Most of these boys were a mixture of Jake's last 3 years playing

It was a great baseball season! Each year, Jake gets better and better. His regular season team won their last 6 games to end with a winning season. 

 We ate lunch out and then went back to the house to hang out. Later that evening, Jake had a baseball friend come over to play and we grilled out. And Hollon had to have the bubble machine come out again.

But then she got tired of chasing the bubbles, and decided to bath in them.

She would put her hands over the opening, so the bubble mixture would become soapy in her hands.

And then she would wipe it on her arms and legs

She was a sticky, bubbly mess

And then she took notes about the day

Brother obliged and had a sword fight with Hollon

It was the end to a great week!
