Good Girls Steal

I need to buy this shirt for my daughter. This afternoon at her high school softball game she was intentionally walked. (I HATE it when that happens.) My kid likes to hit... so this really frustrates her.

So... after the next girl got up to bat...

she STOLE second

AND THEN

STOLE third... all on the same play.

It was as if she was saying...

HUMPH!!! TAKE THAT!

(I say it was as if she was saying that because I'm pretty sure she has NEVER said "Humph.")

Then, with the next batter...

SHE STOLE HOME!

I really should buy her this shirt! I found it here and it was $16.

Love the Cardinals!!

What a game!!! Tragic... but oh so exciting too! We really got our money's worth with this game. Nevermind that it was free... I'm just trying to make a point.
It really was an exciting game and up until the very end, it was hard to predict how it was going to end.

I heard a reporter this morning report that ESPN had been doing a bunch of interviews with Arizona fans after the game. The two phrases that they were hearing over and over... PROUD OF THE CARDINALS and GREAT GAME!

I agree. It was a great game. We, the Cardinals, went in as the most unlikely of underdogs... and we put on a great show!!!

Stadium Seats

High School soccer season is about to start. Actually yesterday was our daughter's first scrimmage game! With two kids on the high school soccer teams I'm going to be at a lot of games.

It is crucial to have good stadium seats for the almost two hour games. My qualifications for a good seat are easy... 1) it must be thick enough that I don't feel the frigid cold of the bleachers, 2) it MUST have a back (not just a pillow to sit on), 3) it must not tip over when I lean back and 4) it must not cost a fortune!

My new favorite sporting good store... Dick's Sporting Goods... had these great seats! And they are only $25 each. Plus, I used a $10 off a $50 purchase... making them $20 each! Yea!!

This is what the Dick's Sporting Goods website said about the seats: The GCI Outdoor™ Bleacher-Back™ seat offers fully reclining back support for sitting on bleachers with a nylon adjustable strap and a 2-in padded seat cushion. The folding design and carrying strap make it easy to transport, and it includes an oversized storage pouch for holding a wallet, keys, etc.

P.S. These seats worked great inside for volleyball season as well!

Attitude Arcade

I love attitude shirts for the sports that my kids do. These are some fun shirts from a fun online store, AttitudeArcade. In addition to the sports represented above, they have many more available. They have 100s of styles to choose from, in adult and youth sizes.
