Whenever I don't do any cleaning on any particular day, it looks like I haven't done any for a whole week. Yesterday was one of those days, so today I have set aside today just for cleaning.

List to finish today:

Clear off table

sweep and mop

vacuum

family room

bedroom

bed linens washed

two loads of laundry cleaned and put away

windows--good day for it, because it's cloudy outside, no streaks from the sun

desk

both bathrooms

Amaya's room

Get Ella to do her room

Remember when wrote that I needed to find a key to our car that was missing? No, I haven't found it, haven't even looked. I was just going to mention that we have a leprechaun living in our house stealing things. Now our camera cord is missing and the car adapter to our portable DVD player. If you see these things going about your day, know that the leprechaun may have brought it from our house to yours.

I've already cleaned the kitchen and as I was I found my camera. I then remembered I haven't told you that we signed Ella up for T-ball. Last night was her 2nd practice and she did awesome. She is so good to listen to the coaches and try to follow their instructions.

The little boy in the blue shirt is going to turn out to be our team's best player.  

The little (or big whichever way you look at it) girl behind Ella wouldn't leave her alone.  She kept picking Ella up as if she were her new play toy.  I am bold and tried ever so politely to tell the girl not to pick Ella up anymore.

While they were waiting in this line a stray ball came right down on Ella's forehead and konked her pretty good.

Here is the coach looking for the parents that belong to the crying child.

The parents sitting next to us found it funny that Shad was documenting the crying rather than running out there to scoop her up.

I am so proud of Ella, after she cried for a couple of minutes and let us check for bleeding she went back out to finish with the practice.  Shad left a little bit later to take Amaya home and get her to bed.

I am so mad he took the camera with him because while he was gone they did hitting practice.  In T-ball you get 2 swings at the ball on the T the first inning and the next inning you get 2 pitches from a coach.  So they started practice with a coach pitching.  Ella went first.  She swung and missed the first pitch.  The second pitch her bat connected with the ball and she hit it between 1st base and the pitcher.  The parents all clapped and cheered because it was so unexpected.  This little girl may be the smallest kid on the team and she got a good hit.  I want to cry with joy when I think of the look on her face as she was standing on first base.  

It was AWESOME!
