Do you know what today is??

Do you? Let me give you a hint.





Look at the t.v. in the background.

Yes it is opening day of baseball season. It is a big day at our house. I bet no one else you know set the alarm so they could get up and watch the first game of the season which is taking place in Japan and started at 6:00 a.m. our time. Golden did. Can we just say he is a little bit excited? In fact he has baseball fever so bad that he went yesterday and bought the kids their first mitts. Reese's is pink and purple and lights up. On the inside is printed, "Girls Rule!" and has flowers on it. I think it is very appropriate.

Golden took Reese downstairs this morning so she could watch the game with him and they started throwing the ball around. Then Reese wanted to hit the ball off the Tee. He gave her some instructions on where to stand and how to hold the bat and she hit it right at him. It was a really good hit and it left Golden with a large red welt on his chest and left him rolling on the ground. I said, "See what happens when you give the girl some instruction?"
Then Golden had just set the ball back up for her to hit again and gotten back in position and he had just barely turned around and she hit it again. A line drive to his chest. This time the red welt was three inches higher on his chest. She had hit him 2 times in a row.

O.k. it was funnier when it happened this morning:)

I may not know people that woke up early to watch the first game (besides Golden, of course), but I do know people who stayed up all night to watch it since they normally don't go to bed until about three.
