Rain cats
We were sitting outside this afternoon and this stuff started falling out of the sky. We asked around and apparently it's called rain. If you look real hard you can see the drops (amid the paint drops, the rain is darker). That's about all the rain we got today. But...we did get rain!We went to the "Fort Worth Cats" game tonight and had really, really good seats. Front row. This is the mascot "Dodger the cat" and Anna was smitten. Everytime the cat was in eyesight she would point to it. At one point the cat was throwing out popcorn balls and handed me one for Anna. I moved closer to him and he reached down as if to touch her and you wanna talk about a freak out. Man. She didn't cry but she shuddered like "what the heck...that thing can TOUCH ME?" It was one of those times I wish I knew how to put video on here and then had captured it on video. One of my crowning glory moments in photographic history. I caught the action as the ball is leaving the bat for the first hit of the game for the Cats. It was a double. Cool, huh? Hmmmmmm...how did that get in there? Mom, that was for you. Just a little boy toy option. It was a great place to people watch. Well, it was if you're a fan of young...well built men...wearing tight pants...showing those muscles God gave them...Oh my...I may swoon. Forgive me, I digress. Yes I know who won...The Cats did. 5-0 all 5 runs scored in the 4th inning...you can check it out...I sure did!
I am a mom of 5 beautiful, smart, wonderful children. But who doesn't believe that of their children? OK, I have a 27 year old who is married to a lovely young lady who I am proud to call my daughter-in-law. I have a 23 year old who tours with the band "Super Water Sympathy" and you should check them out. I have a 14 year old softball playing girl. I have a 12 year old independent, free spirit and a 7 year old cute as a button. Our life is never dull. Our house is rarely clean (all of it - all at once)and my meals are rarely well rounded. But, we have fun and make fun memories. Opening day of baseball season is a national holiday in our house. Oscar night a night that mommy should not be disturbed and Sundays are a day of rest or should be.
