Opening Day

Aidan had his first real game last night.  It was an "early" game that started at 5:45 and was over at 7:15.  They lost 4-9 to the Rangers but the kids seemed to feel better about it than their loss at the Jamboree.  Despite the score, the teams were pretty evenly matched.  Aidan got a double and then scored on his first at bat!  Woohoo!!  He's also playing shortstop this year and he's really good at it!  I guess the hours that we've spent playing catch in the back yard are paying off!!  The girls played with Aubrey and drew with chalk all over everything and got totally filthy! 

This morning was ROUGH.  Everyone was exhausted and I had to pull everyone out of bed to get to school on time.  We also lost power in the middle of the night last night and Aidan came in at 3 am to inform me - so that added to his and my sleepiness!  It's going to be tough when the games start at 7:30 and don't end until 9:30.  I'm not quite sure how we are going to do it.
