Back to Normal

Today was our first day in our Summer routine. Carter commuted with us to Iola and we dropped him off at Kidz Camp at the Fitness Center. Then hubby and I were back at work, trying to make up for being gone several days -- and knowing we had to leave early for another baseball game.

Yup. Back to normal. Summer normal.

Overall it was a great day. Of course it's always a great day when there's cake at my desk (some party leftovers). Carter also reported an awesome first day at daycare -- I mean, big kids camp. The good vibes carried over to baseball tonight, too. Nice 15-3 spanking of the Nationals. A few highlights....

The coaches were particularly happy their sons finally ended their strikeout streaks. Above, Coach Mike's son Nate rips a single.

Here Carter pops one up and beats it to first.

From third, Carter eyes home plate. He scored on the next hit.

Carter hustles after a foul ball. He's finding it is not so easy whipping that mask off when he wears glasses. But he's still got some moves.

Speaking of moves...

Here are our handsome Coaches Buttermaker 1 and 2. I don't know if they are smiling from the victory, the post-game pizza party or the Budweisers. Who cares? Some lucky ladies got to take these guys home with them (ha).

Now our guts are full and we are tired from the fresh air, food fest and the use of those brain cells again. It's tough getting back normal.

But something feels really right about it.
