And so it begins..........softball that is. Kenzie's first games were tonight. Three hours of sun, wind, and blowing dirt..........I love it!! Mom and Dad came to my home softball games and always sat on the top bleachers. I don't know if they cheered for me; I always blocked that stuff out, but they were there watching w/ big smiles when I came to talk to them at the end of the game. Kenzie's team is wearing softball pants for the first time this year. Thank goodness they're black, maybe not so good for Kenzie, but good for me not to have to scrub out grass stains. My softball pants were white, and I was an outfielder so Mom had a lot of grass stains to get out. Mine were always the white-est on the team. I never appreciated until I became a mother how much time is spent washing uniforms, but Mom always washed my softball, cheerleading, and track uniforms by hand, whereas I simply toss the girls' uniforms in the washing machine. Doesn't mean I love my girls any less, just means I have less time.
