So as usual, we had a busy weekend. Dave is home!!!! Love having my guy home, just lights up my house. And since we'd already had a ton of stuff scheduled, he jumped right in. We got rid of our old washer/dryer and in 21 minutes went in and agreed on/paid for/loaded up and headed out with our new ones. It's like we use the force, we just look at each other and know, yep or nope. But we got the ones we wanted/needed and here's to another ten years with a good set. Our AC unit went out in our leased house, great..... it's less than a year old too, sucks for our sweet landlord but it's a work in progress. It's hotter than the seventh circle of hell down here already. But the rest of the day was fun stuff.....
We actually went over to some friends for a crawdaddy boil. Yes, you read that right. We volunteeringly socialized with another couple not family. We may be evolving, not sure yet, lol. But they are funny and we're stocked about meeting Dave.
Duchess spent about eight hours in the pool today and this is the only shot from the entire day of her that was NOT blurry. The kid was in super sonic motion all day. This is where she started to wilt. She's been in bed for two hours now. Poor baby was tired.
My friend, Miss B, who drug me out of the house to socialize. It's rare to meet another human being with my snarky humor, hence she rocks. Even if she did put those hair feathers in Princess' hair today. Prin is rocking some zebra stripes, red, and blue feathers weaved up into her head. Oh boy!
Okay, the mudbugs were fuking awesome.... seriously yummy. Except they were HOT. I had half a platter before my fingers went numb, and I had to have help prying the meat out. Then my lips went from fire to numb and I had to stop eating cause food was fallign straight out. HOT. Everybody laughed when I got a cup of milk and kept coating my lips down but soon I wasn't the only one. Milk really does remove the heat peeps. Prepares you for that second helping.
Today was Billy's camp, verses individual lessons over the holiday weekend. The girls were all brought together and put through the ringer. This is the tight formation drill. Concept is foreign to me but brilliant. Girls are told do not let ball past you, any of you, or everyone runs to the woodline and back. They let ONE ball get past. Ran. Then worked their butts off as a team to keep all balls from getting past them. Brilliant.
See, the ball got past the first line and they were all working to get to it. Balls were coming so fast that there was no break in between. Love this drill. Real team builder.
Prin scooping one while another chases down the stray they ran on.
They did multiple batting drills. They are prepping for all-stars. Prin's team has the fast pitcher in the league, fastest in this area of the state true for their age bracket, at 50 mph. But all-stars we'll see teams with that and more, so they are working on it already. Bunting is getting widely used by the girls now and so is slapping.
Prepping for a bunt, notice the feet. That is only way I can tell when it's coming.
Regular hit.
Showing Daddy her arm, he's been hearing about her throwing for awhile now so at 730 yesterday morning they were in the yard. Love that he's all about it. Duchess refused to get out of bed.
Slight glove adjustment. We're trying to work her into a bigger glove but she really likes this smaller one.
Self-defense training for Dave's daughters. lol. Seriously, Prin just trying out the sights on Dave's AK. Notice that while she's a righty, she shoots left handed. This is why they are starting to batt her lefty some.
Scrimmage game, Prin laying at third base. Bad-arse hit that got her 3 bases and safe on third. Daddy was suppose to be umping third base, but was instead taking pics, lol.
Now, I have to run to wally world and get Easter stuff. More pics later. Hugs, mudbugs, and softball from Texas.
