Start of the Week Stuff

Busy.  That's pretty much it for the next two months.  With two kids playing baseball/softball, plus guitar and dance, we don't have a day all week without an activity scheduled for at least one of them.  I love watching them play, but I'm very thankful that this season is short!  

Schedule for the week- 

Monday- game for R (small group if it gets rained out)

Tuesday- practice for both kids (at the same time, in different places, of course)

Wednesday- work in R's class, game for R

Thursday- practice for M

Friday- R's birthday! Dance for M

I'm pretty frustrated with M's softball this year.  Last year she played under the local Little League and it was great, but this year they've switched to ASA, which is what she played in the year before Little League, and it's pretty disorganized.  We had a terrible experience with it the first year, which is why we switched, but I was hopeful that having the Little League people be involved would make for a better experience.  So far not so much.  I do love her coach, which is good, but they organization still seems very unorganized.  We have yet to get a game schedule, and are getting practice schedules one week at a time.  I would really love to know in advance how many days we're going to be doubled up with practices/games for both kids, and if we might actually have a day or two free.  It's just frustrating to put other plans on hold until I get a schedule for her.  

Both kids are enjoying it though.  R has been working hard practicing in the backyard all year long, and it really shows!  He has improved so much from last season!  We could have probably had him tryout and move up, but we chose to keep him in the same level as last year and let him build his confidence this season.  He's getting to play catcher a lot, which he loves, and he's hitting off the pitching machine every time!  It's been lots of fun to watch his games!

So, now to come up with a menu of quick and/or portable dinners that are still healthy and (somewhat) real. :)  

Monday- crock pot salso chicken quesadillas (going to try to make them ahead and bring them to the game maybe)

Tuesday- salad and whole wheat biscuits 

Wednesday- pasta with meat sauce

Thursday- 

Friday- (rice krispies to R's class)
