Losing

Yesterday Christy, Brittney, BrigitteOliviaBethany (I found out they like to be called BOB), Koby and Audrey came up to go to build-a-bear. You find out real quick why having 6 kids is not for the obsessive compulsive type like myself. All in all they were very well behaved. I think I would lose my mind trying to keep up with them all! Props to Christy for her bravery. Kinley only got new clothes for her bear..a Cinderella costume of course. Danielle, we really need to get together. Kinley named her bear "Princess AnnaClaire Teddy Bear". I know she misses AC!
We ended up coming up with some last minute tickets to the Arkansas Naturals baseball game (our minor league team). So, after Kinley debating on with razorback outfit to wear (she is under the assumption that anything that starts with Arkansas includes a razorback), we headed out to get Dad and head to the game. We sat at the picnic benches behind home plate all night because it gave us shade and Kinley a place to play. Apparently it was "baseball bingo" night. Easy to play, hard to explain. But just as I won (yes, I was yelling I won, I won), the announcer called it a fielder's option instead of a single!! I felt very jipped. I was tempted to make everyone stay an extra inning just so I could try to still win (I can't help it, I hate to lose). In the end I sucked it up and went home sad :(. It was alot of fun though. Kevin had Kinley yelling "get some glasses" to the ref a few times, which I know is completely bad manners, but was quite humorous. Kinley and I even made it on the big screen dancing to "Jump". Of course as soon as we told her she stopped dancing so she could look at herself on the screen. I am glad you readily agreed to come Dad, we enjoyed your company.
On a different note, Kinley's school uniforms came in yesterday for 3 yr old preschool at St. Raphael's. It was a little bittersweet. My little baby girl is going to "school". I know that she would be in pre K at Coleman's (her daycare) too if she had stayed there, but the uniforms make it seem so much more official. I am losing my little girl!
Today we have gymnastics and are contimplating going to Gentry to the drive through zoo. Maybe we will just stay home. It is hot outside!

Wow! Waht fun going to BaB with the BOB--gee--I hate that I missed it (I am sincere :>)) I thought you guys were going to go to the waterpark.

Dad told me about the baseball game and the miss dancing with her AR outfit and poms. It had to be a hoot! I'm sorry that I missed it. I love and miss you guys--send me a picture of the miss in "uniform".

Love, Mom

OK, so you got the blogging down...now we just need to see some pictures;) (hee hee). Sounds like a good time at the game. Oh i think I would cry if the boys were wearing uniforms to school...so cute, but yes bittersweet!!! I dressed Tucker in a romper the other day just so he would look like my baby again, lol.
