This Week in Sports

We had a pretty uneventful week this past week and that is a good thing.  It was finally warm enough to get into the pool for a bit so I donned my eye protection and got my speed boat out onto the water.  It was pretty awesome.

I had a softball game Wednesday afternoon and we weren't sure how it was going to go.  I had a huge meltdown right before the game because I think I should be a professional player and mom and dad keep telling me I have to practice more.  I don't know what this practice thing is exactly but I'm pretty sure it's not something I want to do.  Anyhoo- after a screaming, door slamming fit, I got ready for my softball game and proceeded to hit a huge home run.  It wasn't a "ball through the left fielder's legs, error" home run.  It was a real, honest to goodness,  over the head of the left fielder home run.  And there was someone on third so I got two RBIs out of it to boot.  I'm thinking practice is not the answer but throwing fits....

On Friday night, my school had our Art Expo night.  This is the night when all of our art work from the past year is on display.  It was a really cool night and mom and dad were really impressed with everyone's artistic talent.

We made these really cool silk paintings,

and a wire sculpture horse among other things.

Even though my best friend Claire and I were supposed to be docents for the evening, we spent most of it running around being goofy but it was all good.

I had another softball game Saturday night.  I was expecting big things hitting wise but our ump had other ideas.  We try not to say anything bad about the umps because they are essentially volunteering their time. But.  Our ump was about 110 years old and couldn't stand up straight or bend down so his strike zone was whatever he could see out of his one good eye.  He was calling strikes that rolled across the plate and that the catcher had to fall over to catch.  Oh well.  I did have a fairly good night in the field with two good catches at third and at second base.  We did win so that was a good thing.

On Sunday, my friends Max and Claire came over for a few hours and we Minecrafted, Skylandered and swam for the afternoon and it was good.  While the kids were busy, dad cleaned the fish tank and mom made salted caramel ice cream and brownies.  And it's dang good ice cream if she does say so.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
