'tis the season

Despite the abnormal and miserable cold weather and a record number of snow days (without snow), we have been playing baseball for almost a month. JT started trying for teams in early December and we finally settled on a team that we really feel good about and we have great hopes that this will be an enjoyable season and more importantly a long term relationship. I'll talk more about the team in other posts I am sure. Zach is playing league ball again this spring since he has yet to feel a strong desire about the sport. We will focus on encouraging him to try something else.

The whole intent of this post though is that with baseball season arriving that means that life gets more complicated than it already is and two kids need to be in two separate places (aka opposite ends of Austin) at the same time, one parent needs to be at meeting, and this all conflicts with the bedtime routine of the chickens. That meant I took JT to practice and I took the chickens. His practice was at the indoor facility which is great because it is cold outside but it is a very small facility and along with our team's 12 kids, 4 coaches and slew of parents there are other people using the cages, which means the chickens and I sat in the car for the majority of the practice.

I tried to capture this moment of the two of them on the kindles. KitKat is watching Fetch (a pbs show) and Lulu is watching a Barbie movie. And yes to those that asks me if their personalities are different - their viewing options perfectly illustrate their different interests.
