T-Ball Time!

Saturday was Ben's first game. He did great! He made one run and got someone out when he was playing 3rd. He did it with style, too. He actually bent over and touched the base with the ball! Of course, my camera was not ready for that one. He proudly wore his Orioles hat all day after the game. It didn't matter at all that they lost! This Saturday his game is in Middleburg and Maura's team plays their first game in Gainesville. That's gonna be fun deciding who goes to which game. Here's a picture of him scoring his very first run.

Coupons and Cupcakes

OK y'all. I've become completely obsessed with coupons and freebies. Every Sunday I wake up excited because I get to see what new coupons are in the paper, and then I search through all the store ads to see what is on sale that I already have a coupon for. I've built up quite a stash over the past few weeks. I'm working on training Thanh not to buy ANYTHING without checking to see if I have a coupon for it first. Walgreen's has a monthly Super Saver catalog in their stores with some awesome rebates. OK, now I'm cracking up because my husband just called out to me from the living room and asked if I have a coupon for spaghetti sauce. Apparently, Ragu is BOGO free somewhere this week.......

My other new obsession is cupcakes. I have a dream of opening a cupcake bakery and just making pretty little things to eat all day. The only problem is, if I have them anywhere near me I can't stop eating them. I think the bakery thing is better off left as a dream, unless Thanh wants to be married to Big Bertha.

We've been spending a lot of time at the ballpark lately. Maura just started back with softball and Ben is playing tee ball for the first time. I'm looking forward to watching the tee ball games. Those little guys can be quite a hoot! The first game is this Saturday and I'm sure to have pictures to post.
