Baseball & Girl Scout Cookies

The girls had their baseball draft on Saturday. We got the calls last night about which teams they are on. Nikki's first practice is tonight... Leah's first practice is tomorrow night. This is the beginning of craziness for a couple of months. We will have practice probably everyday until the 10th of Feb (that's when their first games are). Yes, the girls are on different teams and are in different leagues (Leah is in the 7-8 year old league and Nikki is in the 9-10 year old league). Leah is more excited this year because she is on her "boyfriends" team (his dad is the coach and he picked her because she asked him to). The girls are excited and it will keep them busy and active, so we are happy for them. We get to socialize with lots of other Moms & Dads at the practices and games. It's kind of weird because last year, Todd told one of the moms that the girls were adopted and they couldn't believe it. They kept saying "they are so good... we thought the kids that were adopted had problems..." Sounds like adopted children have a bad name by people who have nothing to do with adoption.

We are also right in the middle of selling Girl Scout cookies. They have sold close to 250 so far during preorders and they want to sell 1200 total. Looks like we will be busy during booth sales. Last year they sold 824 (total, gave them 412 each).
