hey batter, batter, SWING.....

Okay, so softball is going great. The younger girls absolutely love it. I laugh so hard when I am at a game because Miss Priss is very serious about the game and really concentrates but Mighty Mouth on the other hand is totally laid back. It is definitely social hour for her. (remind you of anything soccer) I think she could care less if she hits the ball, or catches it, or runs bases. As long as she can sit in that dug out and sing the "intimidation" songs to the other players. She knows them all and sings them at the top of her lungs. If they take a break from singing for a minute she is the first one to start it back up again. The funniest part is when she comes home afterwards and says "man Mom my throat hurts." (not her legs from running or her arms from swinging the bat) Miss Priss will come home talking strategy and how she can improve her game while Mighty Mouth is asking me how to spell S-I-N-G-L-E so she can do the "Single, Double, Triple chant. The best part of all is the girls know so many of the kids at the softball field just like they know so many kids at the soccer Fields and the neighborhood pool where they compete on the swim team in the summer. We live in a wonderful community where there are so many organized activities for children. This has allowed my girls to try so many different sports and make so many friends. They have learned team spirit and camaraderie. How to be humble winners and not to be sore losers. I am very blessed to be able to offer these activities to my girls and blessed most of all to be able to watch as they enjoy them. I have no doubt in my mind when they look back on their childhoods some of their best memories will be of the many team events that they participated in.......
