Focus
Tonight is our first sleepover for the girls. Of course I chose a night that K is on duty, but sometimes its a little easier that way. His first real sleepover experience last year with 4 little girls, almost sent him over the edge. I don't mind, as long as our girls get along. But they have had a lot of together time over the past four months, sharing a room etc. Tonight so far, has been relatively easy. Kris' parents are on vacation so that makes it easier and is actually why we did this. I don't know that we will have any more while we are here. But for tonight, it is fun.
Our 2013-14 softball season has come to a close. Both P's played in the C world series with their teams. It was 4 straight days of roller coaster rides (literally), games, 13 hour days at the ballpark, hotel beds (very comfortable beds I might add) and a lot of time with our softball families. It was a great time with great people and sadly, a quick end to a long season. If that makes any sense. The past few months have been go, go, go and its been such a fun build up to World Series. But then it stops, abruptly and it is kind of a bummer. Especially this year, as Big P has to leave a team she adores with 3 other Spark players to form an older team. Even though we will spend time with the original team, it will be different. And sometimes, different is scary and sad and the whole situation is bittersweet. It has been such a fun ride this summer. Both girls have grown so much in their abilities. Maybe that is why it is bittersweet. I want to keep going and see what they can do. BUT I know that they need a break, no need to burn them out. But wow. What a ride. Little P's team took 2nd out of 12 teams after a heartbreaking loss the last day. Big P's team took 10th out of 41 teams. Not a bad finish for either, at all! Not to mention all of the incredible plays, games, at bats, laughs, friendships etc. This is why I love it. I hope they continue to love it as well!
Now it is time to focus on the finishing of the house. They're closer. Not as close as we would like, but we are getting closer. The outside of the house is pretty much done, minus changing out of doors. The inside is getting closer to the fun parts, painting, floors etc. We still have to go pick out furniture and it seems a little less daunting with the appliances already bought. But still, its quite the new experience.
Only 3 weeks until we go back to school. That is the only hard part about softball consuming so much of summer. Too quick it seems. Now to enjoy it, every minute.
