The sky over my backyard around 12:30 today.
The last day of Summer sunshine was already stretching my shadow along the grass even though it was only lunch time.
My waiting-for-Shelby sky (in Solaris).
Elijah had the best time putting stickers on a sheet of paper today. They came in the mail with a magazine offer. Free fun.
Shelby's thoughts are already into October. She's been drawing Halloween related pictures for a couple of weeks now.
The boys of Summer. Elijah waits his turn at bat in his fifth T Ball game this afternoon. He only has one more game. His game was at the same time as Shelby's fast pitch softball game. Since she has many more games to play, we opted to watch Elijah's team.
He hit the ball hard and he got to play infield and some first base and he played well. The kids still don't have much of a clue about what to do with the ball once they have it. Elijah scooped it up and was immediately tackled by one of his own team mates who must have really wanted the ball. Funny stuff. I can't think of a better way to say goodbye to Summer.
