FUN!!!

Tennis, sleepovers, treehouses, baseball....
This is what we have been up to for the last day and a half. Drew was invited to a playdate that turned into a sleepover. I had to go and check out the treehouse the neighborhood kids were building so that Drew could go and play. Yes, I did take my fat but up the ladder to the treehouse and wow is it cool, it reminded me of the Treehouse book edition for kids. I also couldn't get over the fact that it is a stones throw from the ocean. The boys wanted to sleep there and camp out but I convinced them that DOUG the awesome camper would arrive soon and would really dig sleeping out side with them hhehehehehe. Mariah went to Raquels and had a blast, I don't know if I mention that I have to use the water hose on her body after a playdate at Raquels she is the dirtest of any kid I have ever seen..just plan nasty...but oh so so happy.
Baseball was this morning at 8am I asked my Spanish teacher to meet us at the field so that she could help us see if they would let Drew play and get all he information.
Drew was the only gringo so he was like a neon sign and really stood out. He seemed to have a great time but mentioned about how hot it was. They had like 4 games going on at one time on the same field and kids were praticing using sticks and popcorn kernals and were wearing sandles AND>>>the helmet was like an object they only see on TV and is not used in this league...The practice, games started at 8am and finished at 12 can you believe this 4 hours. They also practice on Tue and Thur. We joined and paid the 180 pesos which is about 5 us dollars and I left to go and get Drew water. No way was he going to drink out of the hose all the other 60 boys were using and the water where was it coming from scary. I return and a lady wanted me to sign 2 forms I say no problem and tell her my husband will bring them next week. Well, the forms say that if you get a baseball contract you will give this guy who sponsors the league 20% of your contract...I couldn't believe this I know for sure that some of these poor kids are going to go somewhere with there talent they were so great and talented..so do you think this is cool should I sign it not that I think Drew is going to the major leagues but for me its the principal..
Drew and I want to get in touch with colleges that have baseball teams and ask for there old balls and other supplies that might be useful here maybe a drive called BASEBALLS NOT KERNELS
or something else catchy.
Doug is arriving today and Mariah is so excited. She had her private tennis lesson today. I must say this girl of mine sometimes gives me hell, so when I got in the car with her I complimented her and told her what a great swing she had and she really did. Well, she said I'm not doing tennis any more
ok I say then what sport do you want to do
she replies MOTORCYCLE RACING
where in the heck did she get this I need to find and purchase a helmet for her because she is going by motorconcho to some places and I will feel better when she has a helmet. Just for the record NO one wears a helmet here don't ask me why and seat belts are for building houses not saving lives...go figure.
Mariah is napping and I will see how much longer until Doug and his taxi arrive.
Peace to all,
M
