The Whirlwind Monday

Today right after the bus dropped off the kids, Madison and I drove back to the school for Peyton's volleyball game. It only lasted 1/2 hour. I can't say it was the most exciting thing I've ever watched but we were glad we went and watched her friends play (Peyton, Holyn, Paige, Lillie, Gabby, Megan etc...). See... that's one sport Madison does not play! Madison went home with Peyton and they went to the Sports Center for some batting practice tonight.

Quinn and Beppe went on a field trip today to the South Bend Chocolate Factory and Notre Dame. As Quinn described it... "We walked 2 square miles today!" He described him and Beppe as being dead at the end of the trip. I guess he fell asleep on the way home. Beppe said he was very sweet, stuck by her when she fell to the back of the walking pack, cuddled on her lap etc... That's my Quinner. Sweet as sweet can be. His teacher even came up to Beppe and told her what a sweet boy he is. That was so nice. He really did look tired when he came home too. Get this... they gave the class chocolate covered raisins at the Chocolate Factory! COME ON PEOPLE! Beppe said kids were spitting them out after tasting them, or refusing to taste them at all. Who in their right mind would give that to 2 bus loads of kids? Obviously, someone who doesn't know any kids. They both decided that the church on the Notre Dame campus was their favorite part. They said it was beautiful. All the kids were quiet and reverent inside. They had their sack lunches along the river walk. I wish I could have gone on this field trip so badly! It was a beautiful day but Dr. P is gone to China for 2 weeks so my patients needed me more today I guess.

Tonight Quinn had a baseball game. We won, like 21-3 or something. I don't even think Tony knows the exact score. Quinn pitched one inning and struck 2 boys out. He did really well and said he wasn't nervous. Nate had an awesome diving catch play. I asked him for his autograph later. Quinn's first hit was a triple! After that he had 3 singles. He had a great game. I was feeling sorry for the other team. There is a 5 run rule per inning...but not a 10 run rule in the 5th. Thank goodness for the limit on the runs per inning!

I had a Little League board meeting from 8-10:15pm so I had to leave his game a little early. I was home for about 15 minutes today. I guess I need to go back to work tomorrow so I can rest up. Really I'm just too busy to have a job! Ha!

Special thanks to Randa, Cheryl and Addi... I brought in my video camera and made them watch Madison's soccer goal from yesterday. Aren't they so sweet? (They really had no choice in the matter!).

Well, I just finished my supper of a PB & J sandwhich so its time for bed now! Good-night!
