We have been busy the last two weekends. Last weekend on Saturday, we went to the Fun Fair at HMS. This fair is the PTA's largest fundraiser and is a load of fun. I worked the ticket booth so Gram took Cassidy around to the different activities while Maddy went with her buddy. It was beautiful weather and we stayed the whole time! Maddy won 2 cakes and Cassidy won 1 cake at the Cake Walk. Maddy had a softball game at the same time as Cassidy's T-ball so we had to split and watch each game.
On Sunday, we had a full Mother's Day. It started at 5:30AM with coffee and cake (yes, cake from the Cake Walk) in bed for me. We went to breakfast at one of my favorite places. Next was a noon cookout with the Follansbee's. Finally, we visited with Gram and Gramp at their house. Phew!
Maddy was in the Second Grade Play called "Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock". She was a zebra. We had that on Tuesday night. It was a great production. She even had a speaking part which she did loudly and clearly!
This past weekend, we enjoyed the lovely weather by being outside. First, there were the normal softball and T-Ball games on Saturday. Maddy volunteered to play for the opposing team since only 4 of their players showed up. Such a good sport! Then, the girls swam in the pool on both Saturday and Sunday. Lloyd and I even got in today! The temp was chilly (a mere 70 degrees) but it felt good after being in the hot sunshine! We're ready for a Memorial Day Weekend party! Woo Hoo! Bring on summer!

The Weekend
Well, school's back in full swing. We're in for the last stretch. Each Sunday night, Maddy lets me know how much school is left. Although she loves her teacher, she will be happy when summer is here. Cassidy? Not so much. She wishes she could go to school everyday, have homework like Maddy and ride the bus. She'll have her turn soon enough.
Spring weekends mean softball and T ball. Cassidy had her first practice/game on Saturday. It was hysterical. The kiddos were so cute. She reviewed some basics, like where first base is and how to field a ground ball. She is on a team of primarily boys with one other girl but that was fine by her. One of her besties, Ryan (pictured above) is there and she is thrilled. I will include a few pictures of her playing. When they actually got around to playing a game, the entire team squatted down super low to get ready for the ball. When the ball was hit, the entire team ran for it. All of the parents just stood on the sidelines laughing and cheering for our children. Very funny! Gram and Gramp were there and Gram assured me that it was the same when Maddy did T ball. Funny how I can't remember that now.
After Cassidy's practice/game on Saturday, it was on to Maddy's first softball game of the season. She played in New Boston which was a bit of a hike from us. Once we found the field, Maddy was good to go. The sun finally came out and the girls did a great job. I think our team had some great hits and some good plays in the field. Maddy got to play first base in the first inning. She belted a hit out into the outfield in the last inning. She was impressive.
On Sunday after church, Maddy went with Gram shopping while Cassidy and I took a ride on the tag-a-long. It was a beautiful day to be outside and we took full advantage of it. The pool is just about ready. We are waiting for hot weather to arrive. Black flies are here, sadly but we were able to put some bug stuff on and enjoy the sunshine. Back to work/school tomorrow. 7 weeks left.....
