Photo of the Week: Hey Batter, Batter!

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.

We're kicking off another work week with our photo(s) of the week. Having been a big baseball fan in my younger years, when I encountered a giant plastic bat and ball at the grocery store last week for only $3.50, I couldn't resist.

Anna was so excited to get home from school to find the bat and ball waiting for her. Thankfully, it was a lovely evening so we could practice in the yard. I should get her a tee when I'm able to, but in the meantime, hopefully this bat is fat enough that she can learn to hit with it!

My little slugger!


I had a blast arranging whatever objects I could find as bases and explaining the basic rules of the game. I know it's early, but whatever, she's a quick learner and we had fun. I especially enjoyed showing her that I could hit a fly ball from one end of our large yard to the other - it was only stopped by tall plants that form a makeshift fence in the corner of the yard. Not too shabby for my 30s! It also felt good the next day when Anna told her teachers about her bat and ball and said, "My mommy hit the ball all over the place!"

(Yes, I bought the toy for Anna, not for me. Just let me have my moment.)

I'm sure we have lots more fun to come this summer!


Have a great day!
