Batter up!!!

It is "all baseball, all the time" at our house. Sam has given his heart to baseball. It even comes before food!! He will try to hurry through dinner and then say, "Bat, mama? Ball, mama?"

Anything that even remotely resembles a ball or a bat becomes "mah ball" or "mah bat." Well, that is perhaps a bit generous. In a moment of desperation, even a small pencil became a bat. Desperate times call for desperate measures, you know. (Edited to add: a potato masher just became a bat. I was crying I was laughing so hard.)

(I would be remiss if I didn't mention their "summer haircuts." They started out innocently enough - "just a trim" and that went haywire. So I just buzzed them for the summer. It's just hair and hair grows, right?)

Swinging his bat...


A boy and his mail tube bat.


I think that was a homer, little slugger!


Aaah, I have all my treasures - my bat, my cap and my ball.


Thanks for the hat, Uncle Matt!


Phewww...it's been a rough one

Love the new look of the blog!

Sam is so cute! I love that he keeps the hat on and looks so darn cute in it too : ) Maybe he will be the next great baseball player!

LOL Mail tubes are the best! :) Cute pics! My kids love what comes in the mail, not for what's inthe box. :)
