Tee Ball

Bubba Jr. started Tee-ball this week.

I think Tee-ball is probably the most enjoyable sport on the face of the earth to watch. The children are just precious beyond belief. And they have no idea what they're doing. All except Star. Star is Bubba's Jr.'s doppleganger. If Star didn't have his socks pulled up whereas Bubba Jr had his socks pulled down, I couldn't have differentiated between them on the field. In the looks dept... However, Star is, well a Star. He's the only one with hustle. By the end of the one hour practice 95% of the kids were off in la-la land. Building dirt castles, running in circles, chatting with the other "players." Not Star. Star's got the gift. The gift of attentiveness.

The cutest kid out there (aside from BJr.) was this tiny mite of a thing who had absolutely no concept of tee ball. The coach tells him "Run to First George!" George proceeds at full tilt to second base. "No George, over here! Come on Buddy!" George heads off to Oklahoma. Or somewhere else b/c he sure as heck wasn't running to first base.

Charleigh-Jo was pretty PO'd that she didn't get to play. She kept trying to get out of the stands while pointing toward the field chanting "Charleigh play!" She was slightly mollified when I gave her some pretzels.

Bubba's team is the Orioles. Only most the kids can't say Orioles and it sounds more like Oreo's. Which is fine, b/c I think Oreo's are pretty darn tasty. Especially the Ooops Oreos. Even Bubba Jr knows they are my favorite and tries to get me to buy them at the store. Only if I do, they won't even make it HOME. So we have to run, run away from the Oreo's.

Why on earth is Kevin Covias still on American Idol?
