Is that a RED SOX hat??? Dude - I am SO loving that your kid is wearing a Red Sox hat! (I just signed my firstborn up for baseball; I can’t believe it. )

There’s nothing like baseball in the spring…

We were supposed to play in Cullman this evening. Postponed due to tornadoes. Full day of it tomorrow, though. And Sunday. And we have to divide and conquer, as younger son plays at OM tomorrow.

I haven’t commented here before, but must shamefully admit that I just let my 4 year old daughter purchase and consume an entire bag of Skittles at the ballpark yesterday evening. But the beauty of it was that she actually sat quietly for 45 minutes, admiring each individual Skittle before she popped it into her mouth, enabling me to actually watch her big brother play t-ball. I’m an all natural/organic Whole Foods a/k/a Whole Paycheck grocery shopper, but those rules tend to go out the window for a six week stretch each spring at the t-ball field…

I love the healthy snack concept. Your kids, once they adjust, will be so much less jittery and so much more satisfied than those eating Skittles.

LOVE that you said no to the skittles! We are just starting practices because there was still snow on the fields until yesterday (MN) and this year I will live at the LL fields with a 6 yr old in his first year and a 10 year old in the minors. Yes - 8 hrs of concession stand duty - yikes. And as far as the bringing snacks for the team - I told the other team parent for the 6 that I didn’t think we needed to do that this year - they could bring their own!!!
Have a great season!!

The neighbors probably heard me this morning. “NO MORE EASTER CANDY!” Done, over, finito. With the crying that ensued they probably thought I killed the bunny that delivered it.

I thought your version of E-S-P-Anne was great!! I’m a huge baseball fan, so I would’ve given the same report. :o)

We may play Finn’s team eventually - we’re in the 13/14 year old USSSA division. My son also pitches, and usually we play the Tiny Kingdom. I’ll bring some healthy snacks if we do!!

Hey, one year we had an about all day tournament and I ran by Publix in Alabaster. I picked myself up one of the spinach salads (one serving sized) with some raspberry dressing and ate it in the bleachers. I also got a fruit salad and some of the Cracker Barrel cheese squares for my sons. I always carry frozen water bottles and a green tea or two. I was the envy of many curious onlookers, who were wolfing down drippy burgers. Maybe this year I’ll set up a booth outside and make some money!!

Give the Kid a break. It showed him up.

I just spent my night in the dreaded snack bar-on the fryer. Yes I have scrubbed my entire body twice.

(And don’t tell Carmen, but I had nachos, a cheese stick, some onion rings, and coke for dinner. I fully expect to pay for it tomorrow.)
