A Proud Day...then again..maybe not

Yesterday after work the girls found their t-ball set outside in our breezeway. Amelia decided that she wanted to play with it inside and started dragging it through the door. For a split moment I was going to prevent this event due to the fact that I am not excited about almost three year old twins swinging and throwing in our living room. But since both Natalie and Amelia were so into the toy and getting along so well I let it happen.

I am happy to report that the girls played nicely together and nothing was broken in our house. Taking turns, cheering each other on, having tons of fun. I thought to myself that their sports enthused Dad would be so proud and couldn't wait to tell him when he got home. You see Mike likes almost anything sports related. ESPN, FSN, the golf channel, etc. should be on speed dial (if such a thing existed) on our remote. I think we have cable and a big t.v. mainly for these sporting channels. Not to mention the sports related bookmarks on our computer and the fun sporting video games for the Wii.

So in a nutshell, Mike would be so proud seeing his girls playing t-ball in the living room. As I was trying to get a photo to post here (impossible due to their constant movement) Natalie proudly exclaims to me with bat in hand...


"Mama, mama look at us! We are playing hockey!"


My thought as I tried not to laugh: "ummmmmm, not quite honey....and even though you got the wrong sport...I know your Dad would be proud."

better than saying they were playing house! :) i would be proud too. are they stepping w/ the correct foot? just kidding. are you able to post from school? i've tried and it never seems to work...just looks like it based on your date stamp on this entry. and by the way, we basically only watch sports channels, i'm so glad the Big 10 network was started! so maybe mike should come live with us - bring your tv with - its bigger.
