The snow is gone in Michigan (for the most part), and the two oldest girls have already started practicing for softball. Their first game is at the end of this month. This time last year, the first game was canceled due to snow.
Wednesday, I sign up the three youngest kids up for Little League. This will be the first year I will have a child too old for Little League. Sniff. Note: I originally wrote “three littlest,” but my kids aren’t so little anymore and technically, Amanda is taller than Autumn, so a revision was called for.
This means that in just a short time, my schedule will grow very crazy as I drive children in various directions to various games. One child (Amanda) will juggle both JV and Little League for a while. She will be on the same team as her younger sister (although she won’t like it), and she will also be on JV with her older sister. The poor girl has NEVER been on a team all by herself except for the All-Star team, and she probably doesn’t think that counts. And then there will be Justin’s games and practices.
So once again, we will have four kids on three teams, which we’ve learned is our limit.
I just hope the start of this season is a lot warmer than the start of last season. I remember snuggling in blankets during a lot of games last year!
