one thing

Today while driving in the car Finn and Brogan were bantering back and forth and my ears perk up when I hear Brogan say to Finn, "for one thing, you are NOT cute" and "when you get older, you will NOT get a boyfriend"! Surprisingly, she has nothing to say about that and they go back to getting along. However, I am laughing to myself! Then we get out of the car and Brogan says, "for one thing, I am awesome". Oh boy, he cracks me up! I just wish I was listening to what was said leading up to those comments.

a funny thing (or two) happened at the ballpark tonight

Brogan telling Finn (over and over) that she needs to help him make the finish line for the track that HE made in the dirt.

The kids' cousin Chris brought Bella to the game and Brogan and especially Finn were having a great time playing/torturing her. In the last inning of the game, I keep hearing Bella bark, so I turn to look why she is barking and I see Finn holding the leash running after her when suddenly she is on her stomach being pulled by the dog who sees another dog about 100 yards away!!! I am trying so hard not to let Finn see me laugh because by then she is crying. She got grass burn on her knees. She did so good not letting Bella run away, because when I got over to her she was still holding on to the leash and Bella had stopped because I think Finn was too heavy for her to pull very far. It had to have been about 8-10 feet though! I am still laughing as I write this! Too bad I didn't have the camera going, because it's just like one of those videos you see on AFV.

we'll get 'em next time

Well, tonight was the big game against the Dodgers. We (meaning Aidan and Connor's team - the Braves) lost 10-7, but man it was a good game! We wanted to win soooo bad, but I am so happy that they all did so well and they didn't let the other team get into their heads. Coach Tom said they only earned 5 of those runs and they got 5 runs on errors, so if we hadn't have had those errors we probably would have won.

Aidan got a base hit.

At least Connor went down swinging. Poor guy just hasn't been the same since he got beaned in the arm by a pitch.
