My parents came to visit today. They live about 3 1/2 - 4 hrs. away. The kids were really excited which is nice for Grandma and Grandpa. My dh got a late e-mail this morning practically begging for umpires at the disctrict tournament. So, yes, you guessed it, he took a position tonight and got my dad to help out too. Thus...off we went again to the ballpark. You can never have too much baseball, right?
(I never mentioned we were done with it...did I?) 
Speaking of which, my dh and I are opposites. You know, opposites attract? We'll in our case that is true all the way down to sports. I won't go through each professiona sport, but suffice it to say, he grew up a Yankee fan and I grew up in a Red Sox home. So, you can imagine some of the conversations in our home. We are actually somewhat polite about it. Interestingly enough, 2 of our kids side with Daddy and 2 with me. Hmmmm...When we moved to Washington the first time, we agreed that our middle ground would be the Mariners. So, we've tried to instill in our children a love for the home team. It is our compromise. :)
My dh grew up playing soccer and when we married, I figured this would be a sport he would enjoy watching on t.v. But, no - bless his heart - though fun to play, he calls it boring to watch. So, we've not followed it much here. This summer though, I have some international friends (Hi PW's) who are following the World Cup and I kind of caught the bug a bit. 
I turned it on during the 1st Australia game during lunch time. I watched for a bit and then went to turn it off so as not to bore the household when my oldest son objected loudly. He liked it - didn't find it boring at all. So, we're following soccer a bit here now.
All right, enough about sports for tonight. Got to think of something fun to do with Grandma and Grandpa in the next few days. :)
