One more season

I woke up a little late and had to rush across town to pick-up the girls, as Darby had an appointment at church. Unfortunately when I rang the doorbell at their mom's house, I woke them all up. We were only a couple minutes late to the church thing, but it was a serious mad dash I tell you.

We went home to clean-up after church since they hadn't done so yet at that point, having just recently woken-up. It was mostly an errand running day, so we weren't in a hurry to be anywhere. We had to get some pictures developed to be sent off (to Philly) in a mother's day card, run by the post office to send it (since it needed extra postage), and we had to pickup Darby's new softball uniform. Personally I prefer the old (left) over the new (right), but I do understand the new ones will be much cooler for the spring/summer than the fall uniforms.



While we were at the sporting goods store getting Darby's new uniform, I got one more softball season out of her. She had been planning to quit after this season, but while we were there looking around she wanted to get a new glove and some other accessories, but I told her no way if she's quiting soon. So she said she changed her mind recently, and that she wanted to keep playing. I added up the stuff and told her between the uniform, new glove, and other stuff, it would be more than a hundred dollars, so she better get a whole other season's worth out of it. She said she would, so...

After we finished our errands, we went to the park and I let the girls play for a couple hours before dinner time. For the first twenty or so minutes of that Darby and I practiced ball so she could get used to her new glove.

For about another thirty minutes after they played at the park, they pet the cats and dogs at a pet-adoption-a-thon being held at the park. I only let that happen upon receiving promises of zero can-we-get-a-pet nagging. We're just not home enough and I don't think it'd be fair on the animal to just be home alone all the time. Plus the fact that there are cats, gerbils, spiders, and a dog at their mom's house, that seems like plenty of pet exposure for them.
