Survivors

Last night, my friends and I, did the unthinkable. My own Mom even doubted us. We survived a night with the raccoons. Now, we actually didn't run into a raccoon, but it was still a little scary. We heard these strange noises and started screaming, we heard one of the neighbors cats and held hands while screaming. We were such girls. It was very cold, so we all were shivering when we woke up. It didn't rain, thank goodness. If it did we would have run inside screaming. My mom would have ran inside when it got a little chilly. That's just my mother. Wimpy. Haha. Just Kidding. Anyways, it was a fun, energetic, hyper, hilarious, talking about guys type of sleepover. So awesome. I had a blast. I hope all my friends did too!!

Thanks

Amy

Raccoon

We caught one raccoon last night. It was a little one, but mean. Joe took it a couple miles away to a very wealthy golf club. I am sure it will find lots to do there. Actually everyone we talk to says it will be back.
Amy is having a slumber party tonight with 5 girls. They are sleeping in a tent in our backyard. If I were a betting person, I would bet they don't make it out there all night. I for one wouldn't sleep out there with the raccoons, they're nuts. Too cold for me too. I like my comfy bed.
It should be an interesting night at least.

Cleaning.

Today is a cleaning day. Again. Oh well. *sigh* I gotta go clean the basement.

Westfield Rocks travel baseball

it's Aaron, I am on the Westfield Rocks travel baseball team. We are 10-3 and my dad said that we could be the best team in the state. We have really good pitchers and if we win , we just crush them. When we lose, we just lose by like 1 or 2. Last night we played against the Westfield Indians. They were 4-4 so they weren't so bad. We crushed them 10-4. We had about 4 or 5 long balls in the outfield. I hit 1, Kaden hit 3, and somebody else hit one. Their pitchers are really good too, but they didn't even throw their no. 1 or 2 pitchers. We had 10 hits and 10 runs. They had 4 hits and 4 runs. We were all so cold when we were in the field. When we got to the bench we put our hoodies on. They struck us out 11 times and only walked us about 4 or 5 times. We play the same exact team on Saturday, but it's at home instaid of away. Our whole team together is batting .297. That is a good batting average for a whole team. We are going to play in about 4 more tournaments. My dad always tells us that if you have a good attitude and effort, you will win, but if you don't have a good attitude and effort you will lose. We have beat teams that are better than us when we have a good attitude and effort, and we have lost to teams that we are better than, when we don't have a good attitude and effort. Our team hopes our season goes well, because we want to be the best team in the state.

Thanks,
Aaron.

cubs

With Lilly and Dempster pitching well the last two games the Cubbies took 3 of 4 from the Padres. They also picked up a new player, Jim Edmonds. He is actually hated since he is a former Cardinal player but I m sure the first diving catch he makes or the first home run he hits, all will be forgotten. Welcome Home Jim to chicago... where many think you are almost in Heaven when you are on the green grass of Wrigley Field.

Ive enjoyed this blogging stuff... not sure if anyone else does... but nonetheless.

question

My question of the day is this: How can three incredibly talented athletic boys in my home, who can shoot, hit and kick a ball accurately anywhere, cannot hit the toilet bowl with their urine!? Does it really get that out of control?
When asking three said boys about this, their reply: Wasn't me. I guess we have even more talented girls in our home.

I have spent most of my morning cleaning, I had been working a lot and let a few things slide. I actually love spending a few uninterrupted hours cleaning. The house smells good, things look clean an I feel good about it. I think God puts this love, or maybe like, in most women. We are the "keepers of the home" we take pride in it. I am glad he gave me that pride, because he definitely didn't give the love of cleaning to my husband! I love him anyway- God gave him other loves, like providing for our family. I don't have that desire.
I am off to wal mart with Andrew we NEED a few things. I love that I can keep my families need met on some level. Andrew has a need spend his .50 cents on something great.

4-3

Took it on the chin last night... got up 3-0 but couldnt hold onto the lead. First place on May 14th......With the Cubs legacy... 1st place at this time of season is a welcome sight. Need a victory tonight to win the series vs. the Padres.
