First T-Ball Game of the Season and a Rainy Weekend

Saturday morning was our first T-Ball game of the spring season, and the White Sox were ready to play!  Lincoln and Daddy warmed up and got all set up in the dugout.  Two handsome guys!!! 
Our batting practice really paid off because Linc was hitting the ball with so much confidence.  He ran super fast to first base and looked like a season T-Ball player. 
Lincoln played several positions during the game, but his favorite was pitcher.  That's an important position because most batters hit balls right up the middle.  He stopped the first two and threw the ball to first base.  After a few went awry, the bases were loaded.  He put out a couple of runners by grabbing the ball and rushing to home plate!  So proud of his smart baseball skills! 
More batting and more great hits!  Go Lincoln! 
Beau was happy to cheer for Lincoln, but mostly he was happy to play on the playground and run on the bike trail.  It was a super chilly morning, and we all had on our warm clothes.  Beau did lots of fighting about the pullover but was happy that he wasn't cold! 
The White Sox got lots of hits, ran the bases great, had good defense, and mostly had a great time!  Such a positive game and great teammates!  Lincoln's favorite part is the good game high fives, and he was first in line!  So sweet! 
After the T-Ball game, we got warmed up and had lunch and a little rest.  Lincoln's school friend, Zayne, was having a birthday party in the afternoon that we were so excited about.  Linc painstakingly picked out Zayne's gift with care, and he couldn't wait to get to the party.  Unfortunately, it rained on the party.  They had lots of outside games planned.  The kids weren't too bothered but mine needed their umbrellas.   
A real fire fighter came to talk to the kids about fire safety, and everyone loved that.  They even got to try on the official fire fighter hat! 
The rain continued on Sunday, and we all got wet going to Sunday School and church.  After a yummy brunch at Deli News, we ran a few errands.  The boys and Mommy had fun in their rain boots!!! 
The rest of the afternoon was spent inside with new Lego sets.  Lincoln was super determined to finish his airplane before the night was over.  We took a few breaks to rest with a movie and enjoy a delicious dinner . . . Mommy's homemade chicken parmesan, Daddy's homemade marinara with spaghetti, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Neiman Marcus bars.  So much yummy food and so much fun Lego play.  Lincoln was super proud that he finished his latest creation! 
We didn't let the rain ruin our weekend!  This week promises plenty of school fun, evening activities, a few Easter crafts, and more delicious dinners.  More updates coming soon!
