Baseball!

Earlier this week, the boys were clearly hit by SPRING FEVER and decided to arrange their stuffed animals and action figures into an impromptu baseball game.

As I was getting ready for work Alex came to me and explained how Obi Wan (yes, from Star Wars) had just hit the ball so far it went past the sofa and past the chair and past who knows what else he said, but it went far! It went so far that Cuddly (the multi-colored plush bear) had quit the team. I guess Obi Wan's superior hitting just made Cuddly give up on baseball? Joel and I hope that Obi Wan wasn't juicing and that it was really the force that helped him hit so far.

Anyway, the game progressed and Jack's team, according to Jack, was clearly winning. I think this might have been due to the fact that Alex's animals kept quitting. First Cuddly, then Finny (the Dolphin, not to be confused with Jack's dolphin, Dolphy) quit after Turty (yup, you guessed, Jack's turtle) hit a ball up near the stairs.

Pretty soon the game didn't resemble baseball at all, but it gave me, the mother who is counting the days until spring training, a little taste of baseball and that was a wonderful thing on a rainy and strangely warm morning.
