Lego Club and T-Ball Practice

T Ball practice started for Hayden two Mondays ago. I have got to hand it to t-ball coaches....I could not do it. I could coach once all the kids knew what they were doing. Lol. Trying to get a bunch of 5-6yr olds to learn baseball....ugh, no thanks! It has been quite humorous to watch though!! Here are some pictures of Hayden's first t-ball practice. (Andrew did not get to attend his first practice but he did get to see his second and agreed...funny!)

Looks like he is having fun. :)

 I love you can see the ball flying....but I think we need to keep on him about keeping your eyes open when you hit the ball. Ha!!

 This picture sums up why I couldn't be a t-ball coach. Hayden's running, all the other kids run from across the field to get the ball, fight over ball, one kid gets it and is told to throw to first, throw to first....see the ball going past the first baseman (in blue)? Ha!! Way to go team! :)

 This coach is so patient with the boys. His son is a 6 yr old on the team and let's just say he may be the only one that actually somewhat knows what he is doing.

Bobo just waiting around. The kid to the right, I don't think is really into baseball. He walks around with the glove on his head and practice last Thursday while running to first, mid way, just decides to do a somersault. Hey, why not?!

                                                                 LEGO CLUB!!!
 I keep Ashby after school every Wednesday and the library just started Lego Club back up so I offered to keep him on Monday's too so he could go to Lego Club.  The kids seem to really have fun. We go again today. :)

 The theme was 'ship'. Could be a boat or air...really anything they wanted to build. But here is Olivia's.....airplane I think.

 Hayden made a space ship.

 Proud of his space ship.

 Boys really debating on the pieces they were going to use.

So, that's the extent of Lego Club. Ha!! I think the kids like it because they are building legos....well, not at home. Just something fun.

We have Lego club again today and then Hayden has one more day of school, then is off for the rest of 'Spring Break'. I think we are going to have our garage sale this weekend. We were thinking maybe more people will be out?? I don't know. I'm keeping Ashby Wed-Fri and on Wed the library is having Movie day. They hand out a little snack for the kids and put the movie up on a projection screen. The movie of the month is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2! We like that movie. :) On Thursday Hayden has t-ball practice. Then Saturday we have a bday party.

Hayden has been doing really well in school. He has a spelling test every Friday and if he practices all week and gets all of them right he get's a dollar!! Huge motivation for that kiddo!! :) He is really reading well. I check out at least 5 books from the library just for him and he reads them by himself for his reading log. (His reading log is just for books that have been read by parent or yourself) Lately I have been letting him read his own books for the reading log. He is the only kid in his class (right now) that knows 150+ sight words. Yay!!  Hayden is really enjoying t-ball. He wants to do gymnastics when we start Olivia.

Miss Olivia is doing really well too. She just loves to learn and do whatever Hayden is doing. Literally, whatever Hayden does, Olivia does. Everything. She just adores her big brother. But there are times I am quite certain she is going to punch his lights out. Ha! Hayden likes to pester. Olivia is going to start gymnastics soon...she wanted to do soccer but we missed the deadline. Olivia loves everything princess. She has REALLY gotten into princesses. It came out of nowhere. So, here we are in this awesome princess stage. :) Olivia has also gotten into dressing herself. So, if you see her in person or in pictures and think....that kid must have dressed themselves.....she did. Nothing matches and she loves lots of print!! I am that parent that has the kid with every design on her clothing known to man.  She is very creative and loves to color and draw. She is also big on being a 'community helper'.

Andrew has been at his new job for I think 2 weeks. He is really enjoying it. He really likes the people he works with. He says there are obviously challenges with any job but he enjoys the challenges this job offers. We like it because we get to see him a lot more. Its still kind of weird. It is throwing our weekends off because he actually gets weekends off now. The latest he has gotten home is like 7. But that's only 3 days a week. The other two he is off between 2 and 4. Everybody is enjoying the new change and the time we get to spend with him now. And you want to know what he's excited about.....getting to go to garage sales with us. LOL! I'm not lying. Ha.
