We made it back home in one piece. We left Galveston on Friday and spent the night in Dallas. The kids swam in the pool, which all the adults thought was extremely cold. We left Dallas on Saturday morning and that is when the whining began. First there was a lego incident in which Adam cried because he only had THREE legos and Zach wouldn’t share with him. Zach said he needed ALL 31 of his legos (they counted) and even more to make his building. Then Zach was upset because he bottom hurt from sitting in his seat for so long. Luckily, they both fell asleep in the afternoon.
It’s our first week back to the real world after a trip to the beach. The boys had a hard time figuring out what to do, and seemed to be fighting with each other a lot. It’s rained about every night, and today was the first day we were able to try out our new sprinkler. The neighbor boys came out this afternoon and they all switched between our sprinkler and their blow-up little pool, so that kept them busy for a while.
We ran errands to the post office and Target, to buy some baseball pants for our first T-ball game tonight. We also picked out new backpacks, because the boys' Nemo backpacks are too small now. I was unsuccessful in trying to pick out a generic backpack. They both insisted on getting a Transformers backpack. I gave in only because I was tired of arguing, and it only had the word “Transformers” on it and not some mean picture of Megatron, Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher or Frenzy or any of the other Transformers.
The game went well. We had a practice on Wednesday, and Zach said he didn’t want to play T-ball because it was boring. So he didn’t participate in the practice. We had to bribe him with a snack to get him to play in the game tonight, but once he got there he was a willing
participant. They both hit good balls, and even were able to stop some in the outfield. Zach is the one at the tee, and Adam is running into home base! It was 85 degrees during the game…and it was hot! I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like in July.
Two funny things Zach said today:
He fell going up the deck stairs and scraped his shin. So he told me that he never wanted to go up these stairs again because they were too “pinchy.”
Then, he told me I smelled good. I said “Like what? A flower?” thinking he smelled my lotion or something. “No…like a chicken salad sandwich,” he said.
Zach also wore BLACK underwear under his WHITE baseball pants to the game.

Yeah-- that new Chicken Salad scent is a big seller at Bath and Body Works. Better than "spaghetti and meatballs" or "blackened red snapper."
