Spring Forward

Christi — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:29:09 +0000

Daylight Savings sucks, well at least the flipping back and forth part. I really don’t understand why they don’t just leave it like it is now, and never change it again. More daylight??? I’ll take it. Lose an hour of sleep and screw me up for over a week, I can do without. This morning, after the boys left for school, I went to the pier and watched the sunrise. I couldn’t have done that last week. Well, I could have, but the boys wouldn’t have made it to school on time.

A Day at the Field

The best thing about opening day… WAR PAINT!

Flashback Friday Begins

Christi — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:25:02 +0000

I’m going to try something new. From now on, Fridays will be all about flashbacks. Basically, that just means I’ll be posting old pictures. Usually, that will also mean the pictures will have to be scanned. I know they won’t be the best quality, but hopefully the content will outweigh that minor detail. Since tomorrow is Opening Day for baseball season and Jackson’s first year of T-Ball, I figured the best place to start would be Christian playing a little T-ball back in the day.I found a stack of pictures from Christian’s first or second year playing with the T-Hounds and couldn’t resist. We had so much fun following these guys all over and watching them play ball. Was this really 4 years ago? Has he really grown that much? I can see that Flashback Fridays are going to be really hard on me.

Catch

When he pitches, it makes me a little nervous for him, but when he catches it makes me a little nervous for them.

Miss Google Eyes got her hair did. Those bows kill me.

Math Genius?

Christi — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:15:48 +0000

I’m an English major, shocking I know, with all these run-on sentences and extra commas bouncing around. I know the grammar rules, I just choose not to follow them. The main reason I am an English major is because it required the least amount of math. I’m only partly kidding. Math is not my subject, so imagine my surprise when Jack Jack started spouting off numbers that caused me to go get my calculator and check his figures. Jackson goes to bed at 7:30 on school nights. He always asks me what time it is to see how many minutes he has left. Then he announces how many minutes ’til bedtime. I didn’t pay much attention, but this week I’ve noticed, he is always right! I tell him it’s 6:43, he says, “47 minutes ’til bedtime!” I tell him it’s 7:18, he says, “12 minutes ’til bedtime!” He barely pauses before he blurts out this amazing stuff. He’s been doing great with kindergarten math, but this isn’t kindergarten math, is it? I swear, I think he’s a genius. Is it bad that my 5 year old has surpassed my math skills? Don’t even get me started on my 4th grader! He left me in the dust years ago.

Lazy Sunday Morning

Christi — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 04:30:01 +0000

This is usually the first thing I see when I come downstairs on Sunday mornings. I realize I just admitted that I’m the only lazy one that sleeps late on the weekends around here. I’m not ashamed. These freaks get up around 7. Fergie doesn’t want to miss a minute of it.

That Time Again

Christi — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:23:30 +0000

Baseball practices are in full swing, and Christian is loving it. He’s had scrimmage games last night and this afternoon and did fantastic. He got a home run during both games, pitched great, played catcher and 1st base flawlessly, and ran the bases like a pro. He seemed more sure of himself than he usually does, and announced at lunch today that he wasn’t shy anymore. HALLELUJAH! I don’t know if we’ll win a game this year, but for this statement alone, I’m going to declare us the champs. Jackson had practice this afternoon, too. Nothing pro or flawless about it, but in his mind, and ours, he was a champ before he ever started.

In Honor of Nothing

I don’t have anything to post tonight, but I do have plenty of pictures from February that never made the blog… pictures of our few days in Destin, a bowling birthday party, Fergie taking a load off, you know, the important stuff. Enjoy!

Momma’s Boy

Jackson draws at least one picture of me every day at school. Today there were two. It’s J week, so I’m juggling in this one, and no, he didn’t intentionally draw me flipping the bird. That was just a happy accident. When I commented on all the pretty drawings of me, Jackson said, “Yeah, well, I drew one of Daddy, too but… well… he was with you.”
