Payton & Ashlynn participated in t-ball and machi
ne pitch again this year. As it wa
s Payton's first year at machine pitch, it was a little challenging for him. He was frustrated when he was unable to hit the fast balls. So Dad took him to the batting cages a few times to help him get used to the speed of
the machine. It did the trick. He usually was able to hit the ball without having to use the T. He did awesome. Ashlynn was so cute on her
t-ball team. But, the kids do tend to get bored playing baseball at such a young age. They do much better and enjoy soccer much more.
I got this idea to do a weekly craft with the kids this summer. So, for our 1st Friday craft day, we watched the movie "Monsters, Inc." to get ideas of what kind of monster we wanted to make. Then we drew various monsters on paper to determine exactly what kind of monsters everyone wanted. Then it was a matter of picking out the material and sewing it together which I had to pretty much do myself. But the kids got to then put on their faces and other attachments. They were each pleased with how their monsters turned out and I actually had fun. Though I was hoping to design my own. No time for mine though. Maybe next time.
I didn't wan't to spend much on my little Logan for his bday due to an overall lack of money and even job at the time. So, I decided to give him a little tote for his Hot Wheels which he is always playing with. I found the idea online (can't remember where) tweaking of course to my taste and fudging around old levi seams and such. I really like how it turned out. I think I may have to steal it back when he loses interest.
