BoBo’s first little league game was Saturday afternoon. I just happened to be at the same time as my nephew’s Birthday Party. I sent YaYa ahead with Big Sis, while I stayed back to watch the first three innings.
During my stay BoBo was only up to bat once, but he played the whole time. That is the major difference between High School and Little League – no cuts and everyone plays. I also volunteered to help the coach as the Team Mom, because we all know that I don’t have enough to keep me busy. *smile*
At the Birthday Party, a dozen or so little ones where beating the poprocks out of paper mache’ planets. My Little Sis spent hours of her free time creating a solar system of piñatas for a party that was Out of this World.
Wearing cleanroom suits with “NASA” stickers, the astronaut children were launched straight into outer space. It’s no wonder that no one wanted to return to their home planet.
I was no exception. Instead of orbiting in the rocket ship bounce house, I returned to my own transport vehicle. My next mission was to shuttle my not-so-little earthling to the next town for a sleepover.
By the time I parked my vehicle for the night, I was ready for my own quiet retreat. Equipped with a bottle of red wine, I popped the cork. After one sip, it was evident that my $10 bottle wine was not my best pick.
I quickly abandoned my glass of wine and went straight to my Team Mom duties.
It would only be a short time before Big Sis would arrive with three little exhausted astronauts.
They have Little League for high schoolers? I had no idea. It must be nice for him to be able to play in both environments – the best of two worlds.
That sounds like a really fun party! You sister is very creative.
