Probably the girls’ longest ongoing fight to date has been over what time to get to school. Mariana wants to get to school as soon as possible. She likes to be the first one in line. Once we got there about 30 minutes early and she still ran all the way from the drop off zone to the line up place and jumped onto her number. Then she just stood there for 30 minutes. The only other person on campus was the janitor.
Madeline doesn’t like to get to school that early. So she and I will just sit in the car and wait.
Mariana said her favorite day at school ever was last week when the teacher made everyone pick up garbage on the blacktop. Afterwards everyone got “Beaver Achiever” awards. Today she was excited because the teacher said the kids who were good would get to stay inside at recess and do an extra project.

Through 4 games I believe that Mariana is batting .417. Not too bad. Although technically, it’s probably .000, since all of her “hits,” (and all the girls’ “hits”) are really the result of fielding errors. Typically there are 3-4 errors per ball put into play. And the throw from the catcher back to the pitcher usually involves at least 5 different players and 2 different coaches.

Mariana’s softball team is the “Kentucky Wildcats.” That of course means she was recruited as a one and done player, going straight to the pros next year.
On her way to pick up her Beaver Achiever Award at the office Mariana threw up.

I need to write the sentence “I will be better” 5 times.

It’s a special treat if I let the girls stay up a little later to read in bed.
