Preparing for the First Softball Game

I have been hearing for quite some time that Tara needs shoes like the other girls. I probably have Tia's old ones around here somewhere, but haven't been able to find them. There is only 9 months between the girls ages, but 6 sizes in clothes.

Kasey got to go to the prom this weekend and we went to watch the hoopla of getting ready. We missed the hair appt and she was getting her nails done when we arrived. Her hair looked great, wish I knew how to do it?? Dress was cute with a lot of style, she loved her shoes(good luck not falling off them). Her date was pretty darn handsome as well, I think we may have embarrassed him. Oh to be young again!!

Tia wasn't sure she wanted to watch the festivities of prom, but I told her if she needed a new ball glove this would be her chance. We stopped at the sporting good store and I left Tia with the ball gloves and took Tara to the shoes. She had her heart set on RED. I am not sure about the fit, but we got them, only time will tell. Meanwhile Tia is very happy with her old glove and sees nothing she wants to buy. BUT wait, they make an insert for gloves. It has a finger hold and padding for the palm. The padding is what she lacks in her old glove. For $7 we will give it a try. They both are looking the bats over, but I have forgot all the bat buying hints I have been given, so that will have to wait. Tia had some jeans that needed returned. We drove thru the mall parking lot and kept right on going...everyone was there at that moment. After Kasey left with her date, we headed to Walmart to see if they had red socks. Well of course not since we needed them :( Tara did find a batting helmet. Tia looked for slider shorts and there were none in her size.

The girls have kept Gene very busy this weekend playing catch, Tia is practicing pitching. Tara does not like the thought of her ball hitting a dog pile of poo. Way too funny!!

I am not happy at all about the digital TV thing. I have a tv that we bought before Jeff was born. Still has a great picture. We bought the converter for this tv. Tara loves to watch channel 11. Well guess what, no channel 11 comes in with the converter box. What a joke digital tv is.
