Are you ready for some T-ball ?!

I think everyone has been wondering where Spring has been and when is Summer going to be here? We have had some teasing days of Spring/Summer, but Winter seems to not want to give up quite yet.
In hopes of Summer coming soon and willing it here I signed the kids up for T-ball.  I decided that the kids (and us) really needed to have something more to do during the week nights then just lazying around in our own backyard this summer.  I was able to find a T-ball team for both kids to join, with their own age groups, at the same time, same field, and it works with my work schedule - YAY!!  They will both be playing t-ball every Tuesday and Thursday night for 8 weeks.  Junior of course was super excited and can't wait to play.  Katelynn was an entirely different scenario.  She started crying immediately when I told her I had signed her up to play stating t-ball was for babies and they don't pitch to you.  She was not happy with her mama, at all.  I left it alone for awhile.  Last weekend we went to Play it Again Sports and found a t-ball stand, some wiffle balls and gloves for the kids.  They had a blast playing t-ball in the backyard practicing.  It was harder than it looked.  Katelynn eventually came around and decided that this t-ball wasn't a bad deal.  Dan and I did figure out though that our kids do not know much about baseball, at all.  When we set up bases they didn't know when to run or Katelynn would try to run right past Junior, etc.  We have a month to teach them a bit before they start.  I am excited to see how they do in this team activity.
