It was a weekend of must-dos. Saturday, we had a bunch of errands to run and as a reward for being so good during them, we took the kids out to Somethin' Funn. $20 really buys quite a bit there. Alex was disappointed he still isn't tall enough to drive the go-karts by himself, and again, it was empty so we got to go around by ourselves. I took Missy around too, and again, we were the only ones on the track. That really lets you do some drifting. Then the kids swam at home. Sunday after church we party-hopped. First was a birthday party for Khloe (I didn't know they were setting up the inflatable water thingy, so I had to run home fro the kids' suits), then an open house for Marshall, then another open house for Erik (in Mentone, by the way). Those took us pretty much all day, then more getting ready for VBS which starts tomorrow, then finishing up some last things in the guest room at home, most notably the border, which basically finishes the room completely. Except for a small spot of paint that needs to be touched up. But I'm out of the paint.

Alex had coaches pitch tonight at the same time I had softball, so I missed his game again. I wasn't sure there would be any games today because it was raining most of the afternoon, but it was one of those drizzly rains that keeps clearing up before starting up again, and never reaches the point where you think it's raining hard enough to call the game...or is it? But they did have a game, and so did I. I was 2-for-3 with a couple of hard grounder singles and a walk. Marshall was the hero though; in the 7th inning with us down 5-3, the bases loaded (me on first), and 2 outs, he hit a huge double up the middle that cleared the bases and ended the game. Our second win! Beth and the kids got to CCAC just as we were finishing up. Alex was soaking wet as was I. But he did great in the game.

I love hitting doubles! I hit my second one of the season (probably my career high) tonight. I also drew a walk, which is rare as well. I was 1-for-3 in a losing effort. It was the first game in 3 weeks for me, since Alex had his last Cub Scouts last week and we were rained out the 2 weeks before that.
