Weekend Wrap Up

Crock pot meals are essential right now with both boys in the middle of baseball seasons. This one was easy and so good. I just put 4 chicken breasts, onions, peppers, and one can of rotel with taco seasoning on each layer. on one side. And then one can of corn with some butter and pepper on the other side. We shredded it and put it over chips with white queso. We will definitely make it again.

Carson and I stayed home from high school baseball on Friday night because he needed a break (and maybe I did too). We watched the game on the computer and the Braves on the TV.

Carson and I played some cards on Saturday morning. 

He keeps our score in a composition notebook :)

While we played cards, Darrin took Miles to a hitting lesson. Hitting lessons are a highlight for him especially as a freshman. Freshman life is hard. 

Saturday we worked on some flowers before Carson's games. 

Miles did some work in between helping us. 

Carson had a good cheering section for his games. It was such a pretty day. 

We were glad Marmee came with us. 

Carson's team went 2-0 on Saturday. They played again on Sunday and won one and then lost in the semifinals. I wasn't able to go because I had to go to a funeral visitation. I always hate to miss the boys' games, but I have to admit that I enjoyed having the house to myself all afternoon. I did laundry, cooked, and did a few things before laying on the couch and watching the Braves!!

We had to try to find some new baseball pants after Carson's game and all he could think about was hitting this dummy. He's been a little out of sorts all weekend. I'm not so sure he isn't a little sick but no fever so we keep going and try to get rest when we can. 

My cooking was basically just using up food that was going to go bad. 

Carson begged us to sell candy bars for a fundraiser at school. We've never participated, but he was so insistent. His teacher sent me this pic the day he got his box of candy bars and said that he opened them immediately and started selling them. He sold 5 at snack time to his friends :) I told Darrin that maybe he would have a coach and a salesman just like him. He is SO passionate about selling these candy bars!

Between Miles' JV & varsity teams, and Carson's team, we have 10 games and 2 practices this week. So it's unlikely I'll be back until at least next week!
