T-ball, the Good Fairy, and Summer Fever

This weekend was pretty darn awesome.  I think I enjoyed it very much. 

Friday night was Lexi's first t-ball practice.  She had finally agreed to go and play if I stood by her, and she held me to it.  But she did play, so YAY!  She started to get increasingly whiny and all "I can't stand up," and "I don't want to bat again so I'll just sit here by third base and whine."  I was getting supremely annoyed until I wised up and thought about checking her blood sugar.  She was at 52.  Yikes.  So I fed her some fruit snacks and she was good to go.  She went up and batted again and practiced catching grounders.  We were partners with this super cute chubby little boy in a blue M&Ms t-shirt that made him look like a blue M&M, and he was all, "I love playing this baseball!!!!"  So cute.  There's one other little girl on the team named Lilly, and she told me some random story all about someone who is only 4 and lost some teeth already.  Little kids are funny. 

Lexi and I went to Kaden's baptism on Saturday. On the way there "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars came on the radio, and Lexi was singing along in that cute, totally sweet little voice that 4 year olds have.  I wish I had a recorder because it was the sweetest sounding song coming out of her little face.  "When I see your face... There's not a thing that I would change... Because you're amazing, just the way you are."

At the baptism, a lady told a story about the Holy Ghost prompting someone not to drink some contaminated water.  I didn't think Lexi was really paying attention, and since we don't attend any church she doesn't really have a concept of what the Holy Ghost is.  Which became evident when she retold the story to me later, as apparently she was actually paying attention.  She told me later, "When they tell you not to drink the water, you have to listen, and you have to not drink the water, else you won't get a treat from the good fairy."  Ha!  Love the Holy Ghost as the Good Fairy.  Works for me.

 Sunday Brittney's roller derby team had a bout, but that probably gets its own post because I want to post pics and I have a lot.    

End of school year-itis hit me really hard yesterday.  I don't know exactly why.  There wasn't any real reason for it, but all of a sudden I had this overwhelming desire to not go to work anymore for a few months.  Usually I'm cool with going to work, but last night I just really wanted to get a Redbox and a bag of cookies and not go to bed.   Only a few more weeks, though, and it will fly by.
