Charlie will be 3 years old at the end of April. That means that he’s 3 in Little League age! We have a Sunshine Division at our local League that starts at age 3. I played softball starting with t-ball until I was 18. That’s about 13 years of softball. I loved every minute of it and wish I had time and resources to play again as an adult. Maybe someday.

Until then, I’ll be scrubbing mud and grass stains out of my little one’s pants. His first practice was this past Thursday. It’s going to be an interesting season filled with a lot of playing in the dirt and a little bit of baseball in there.

Excuse the pictures, I was swinging Owen in his carseat and freezing my butt off at the same time while watching.


Today is the first day of the new Messy Monday Link-up at Mom’s Messy Miracles!

    Even though it looks frigid in your picture, when I start to see t-ball and soccer games, it makes know that spring is here. Yay for that! Have a great season. It will warm up sooner or later.
