ON THE ROAD AGAIN........

Last night was the Lugnuts first game of the season. They did a couple of innings before it was time to go due to the freezing cold weather. All of the kids did pretty good if I do say so myself. They were all pretty cute too. At first Mimi was put on the pitcher's mound before she was switched to second base. Zoe was third base, Blake played shortstop and Erin was put on first base till the coach realized that when the opposing team would hit the ball and her teammate threw the ball to her, she did not know what to do with it. She just would stare at it lying on the ground next to her feet. Needless to say she was switched to the right field. Us parents had a good chuckle about that one.

Now it is time for me to take Mimi to gymnastics, then school. After school she will go home with Zoe as I have a dentist appointment. That should be loads of fun. Then it will be definitly time for LAUNDRY, as I have not had the time lately to do it. Yesterday while Mimi was in school, I took Butch to our local park and just let him run and run. You have to remember that our park is not like the ones we have in Southern California. They are more like what you would see on the old Andy Griffith Show with a lake and everything. Ol' Butch did not quite know what to do with the ducks he saw down there. I found that if I take him out and let him get his sillies out things at home are a whole lot calmer with him.

Well it's back to the grind of sports, school, more birthday parties this weekend and a baby shower next week.

THE LITTLE THIEF

First she stole our hearts when she came into our lives. Now she is stealing MY iPhone! What is also sad about it, is that she had to teach me how to use the i-tunes on it. How about that?! A 6 year old teaching an adult who is a techno dummy (but still learning) how to use the phone. Oh, so sad.

MY NEW TOY

While at the mall we went to the ATT &T to upgrade my cellphone. I just purchased a Blackberry about one week ago, did not use it much but the damn ball kept getting stuck and would not go where I wanted it to. Which gave me a new reason to upgrade. So far so good. I really think that me 'n' the iPhone will get along quite nicely.

TODAI

When the game was cancelled, we all went home for a hot lunch of soup and sandwich. Then it was on to Sara's then the Pacific Mall in downtown Seattle. Unfortunately the Ginger Thai place was full and had a 30 minute wait so instead we went next door to Todai. Man was it great especially if you enjoy sushi as much as we do. They had everything from hand roll sushi to the Dragon roll sushi to Kalbi shorts all the way to the succulent sweet Snow Crab. Plus there is a great view of one on my favorite stores Nordstrom.

THE GANGS ALL HERE

Boy was it cold as a witche's brew this morning! According to the car thermometer, it was 36 degrees! We all made it to the opening ceremony on time today however due to the downpour of rain as you notice with the sea of umbrellas, the game was cancelled. Hallelujah!!!

TIC TAC TOE

Where Mimi gets all of her energy, I have no clue. This morning we left the house a little earlier than usual because Mimi was just bouncing away on her bouncy ball all over the house. We headed over to our local McDonald's just so that she could play in the playset and I could drink my sugarfree vanilla ice coffee. We then headed over to the gymanstics where she and Sophie enjoyed a game of tic tac toe before class. Next thing I knew it was time to head for home and school. She is now at Blake's house for an afternoon playdate. Zoe and Braden are there also. I on the other hand is getting some peace and quiet for a little while. It is possible that Blake may come over here this evening as Bailey usually takes a nap in the late afternoon. Who knows???

OUR HECTIC LIFE

I always knew that stay at home had it busy but I just did not realize how busy they have it till I became one. I love it. After the piano lesson and Fred Meyers and Baskin Robbins this morning. We finished off our day with school, baseball practice and a Buddhist study meeting at Ling Ling house. In between baseball and Ling Ling's house, Mimi as usual became hungry again even though she dinner before practice. So we stopped at our local McDonald's. Holy smokes! It seems as if the whole town was there tonight! The local church was having a fund raiser there and McDonald's is donating all of their proceeds for today to our local food bank. While there Mimi saw more of her friends. It seems that no matter where we go in our little town, we see somebody that we know.
