The girls got their proofs back today from Spring school pictures. I scanned them in and put them up in the album pending receipt of the actual photos.

At softball practice today, they were racing around the bases. It has always astonished me that Darby is one of the slower girls (but not the slowest) on her team, considering she is the tallest and has the longest legs by far. After practice I had her run around the bases one more time, only in an attempt to light a fire under her... feet, I chased her. I gave her a head start in that I did't leave home plate until she crossed first, and told her I should not be able to beat her to home plate, especially since I was still wearing work clothes and shoes (i.e. NOT sneakers). Well, I did beat her to home plate (with about a 4-foot lead) without my knee giving out (it felt like it might give out as I rounded third, how fortunate I was spare the embarrassment in front of all the parents). Needless to say I haven't let her hear the end of it. A few times already this season she's been barely thrown out a first and I attribute that in some degree to her running speed.
After practice, the coach announce that the team would be participating in a tournament this weekend, which means in addition to our game on Thursday, we'll have games Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as well. Ugh. Tournaments always makes for a particularly hectic weekend. Not to mention that it likely ruins my plan to take the girls to opening weekend of our local AAA team.
Lastly, if anyone (probably local) has an affinity for mass quantities of cookie dough, Darby's team is selling it as a fundraiser through Friday, so this is your last chance to get in on that action. It comes in 3-pound pails and we're selling chocolate chip, peanut butter, and M&M flavors.
