The Nose Knows?

Posted in I AM MOMMY
The nose no's?  Love puns, but this one wasn't so punny!  A full Saturday ahead starting with team pictures.  Try getting 8 kids out of the house with all essentials for an afternoon at the ball park...sufficient water to keep everyone hydrated, sufficient sunscreen to keep the sunburn away, sufficient snacks to keep trips to the snack bar to a minimum...and so on.  Scheduling really left something to be desired, too.  Pictures at 11:15 for LITTLE guys who had to trek 2 fields back for an 11:30 game, 11:30 pics for minors son, whose game wasn't until 1:00, and THEN, 12:00 pics for machine pitch son's team, scheduled to play at 12:00.  And their opponents' pictures?  After theirs.  Uggh?  Uggh! 

In the midst of killing time while waiting for photos, 11 yo and a team mate were playing catch.  I was sticking close to 5 yo. Next thing you know, 11 yo is bleeding from the nose.  Alot!  Someone asking for tissue for him, and I'm digging through my purse...found a small packet of kleenex.  Pinch the nose, son!  Debate ensued over tilting forward or backward.  Apparently the ball hit his nose.  Coach wasn't too happy, admonishing the kids to put the balls away.  Poor kid managed to keep his uniform clean, good thing since this happened before the pics.  And with relatives coming to watch him play!  He was able to continue on with his day, catching, playing first and third, and pitching part of an inning.  He even got a couple of strikeouts.  And in his last at bat, a nice  hit after a couple of fouls.  He was thrown out attempting to steal third.  A very active game for a kid who came close to a broken nose!

The little guys' games?  The tee ball game was almost done by the time I could get there with 7 yo.  And 7 yo had a good game in spite of horrible wind and dust.  His team has a really nice approach, rotating all kiddos through the various positions. 

As for all those snacks, waters, sunscreen?  Some of us didn't get enough sunscreen.  And the kiddos still managed to spend more than I wanted them to at the snack bar.  But it was lots of fun.  We arrived home nice and tired!  Back at it tonight, with 2 games!

I hope he didn't suffer too much. Sounds like he bounced back quite well. Oh the joys of sports. :)
