My Lil' Athlete

Well, over the last week, I have written several sports checks. In sum, we have the following (overlapping by at least two weeks) leagues from now (well, January) until July 5:

• YMCA Basketball


• The Gym Basketball


• YMCA Soccer


• Kids First Coach Pitch Baseball.

And Jackson loves it!

He is doing AWESOME at basketball, having scored at least one shot in each game (bucept the one with the drunken bully coach, but that is for a rant another day).

So while we have not yet hit the age of 5, apparently when you add in Fall soccer, we are a 5 league family!

Oh, No You Didn't! - Volume 1

From my sister-in-law in response to the engagement email I sent out to the family, which included a bit about not being able to set a date until we heard back from the marriage tribunal, and we are looking at November 2010 or we will have to wait until May because of my work schedule, lent and the boys' schedules:

"Congrats again. I am rooting for Thanksgiving. We always have so many tournaments in May, so we probably won't all be able to make it in May. It's hard for the boys to miss soccer since they are on travel teams. Love ya, Stacy"

My draft response back to my brother (which instead I sent to my sister as a vent)

"So is she saying that if I get married in May you can't come??? I would love to accommodate everyone's schedule, but that is not a reality. I hope you can make it even if Stacy and the boys can't.

I will let the Vatican know that May is inconvenient for your wife and maybe that will help move the process along.

Okay. I am better now. You know I love you!!!!"

I know. I was warned. Elope. Can't do it. (Yet)

Overheard

"Mommy!....What is this spot under my penis?"

"Um...its your scrotum."

"Mommy, do you have one?"

"Um...nope."
