Play ball! ...or don't

Sean and Mimi came to T-ball tonight, and so of course Mason was on his best behavior. At one point he flung his hat off his head (whacking Sean) and declared "I'm not a T-baller, so I'm not playing t-ball". Only the reminder that after-game refreshments are reserved for players
convinced him to keep at it. It was our turn to bring snacks this week, and I was determined to bring something healthy, that would replenish our little sluggers instead of making them crash on fake sugar. I was dismayed when my homemade carrot star-shaped muffins ('cause they're sports stars, get it?) and mini-waters were met with much less enthusiasm than the Gatorade and "fruit" snacks were last week. One kid licked a muffin and screamed Yuck! and that pretty much set the tone.

The last day of summer camp went well, and now we have some free weeks (more free for them, less for me) that we can fill up as we please. We might take a trip to the new butterfly house at the zoo-- anyone want to join us?
