A "No Plans" kind of day
I have not had a day with no plans in a long, long time. I forgot what it was like to actually get up at 10 am and not have to worry about getting one of the kids somewhere. I could get use to this.....except, tomorrow we are right back at it. 4 (maybe 5) softball games in the next 3 days. Plus the fair is this week.

long day
Jason had to work this morning so I loaded the kids up and headed out early to Carmi for Megan's double header softball game. Wow, I did not realize how hard it would be without him there. I made 3 trips to the van for the canopy, pack-n-play, cooler, diaper bag, snacks,etc.... The first game we lost and it was rough and there were alot of errors, but we came around and won the second game 6 to 3. Megan was catcher the first game and pitcher the entire second game. She did a very good job. As soon as Jason got off work he headed to the game and it was my turn to head to work. After spending 4 hours at the park I had to go work 7 hours. It was not easy. oh and Megan and I stayed up until 1 am the night before watching "Beastly" movie.
Megan has another double header tomorrow in Flora. I love that she has such a love for softball. She never complains about going to a practice or game. I wonder how she will feel when next week is the last week for the year.
Megan's League team finished 1st place, so they get a 'by' for the first round, there record was 9-1. The tournament is next week and she plays Wednesday night and if they win that game she plays Friday in the championship game.
Nic was suppost to have his tournament this week, but it got rained out and they may not continue for another 2 weeks.

Big help
Today when Malia was tired, Megan decided she wanted to rock her to sleep. Megan put on Malia's favorite movie (Shrek) and sat with her in the reclinder. She did a very good job. The whole time Malia was asleep Megan kept asking when she could get Malia up to play with her.
Then tonight when it was Malia's bath time, Nic decided he wanted to give her the bath. With the exception of water everywhere, he did a very good job too. He made her laugh the entire time. He had a little trouble getting Malia to be still long enough to get her diaper on.

Malia update
At almost 15 months, Malia is learning things very quickly. She can say:
Momma
Daddy
Bubby
Sissy
Bye
top (stop)
No
Baby
My (my baby, my sissy)
Meme (Megan)
wha (what)
She can also shake her head 'no' and 'yes', point to her nose when asked, and if you say you are going bye bye she will go get her shoes and bring them to you and then head to the door. She still has 12 teeth. If she hears the bath water running, she starts trying to take her clothes off and can get her diaper off all by herself.
Lately at the ball park, she has really enjoyed eating freeze pops. Last night at Nic's ballgame, there were some kids sitting on the edge of the walk and Malia walked up and sat down beside them and watched the game, and we all had to laugh at how cute it was. Last week early one morning, I got Malia up and went to turn the light on in the living room, as I was doing this she was trying to reach something on the table in the dining room and she was getting mad that it was out of reach. I continued to do a couple things and when I came back into the dining room she was sitting in a chair at the table and had gotten what she was wanting, a bag of donuts and was eating one. I still cannot figure how she got into that chair (Megan and Nic were asleep still and Jason was at work). When I walked over to her I said "what do you think you are doing", she threw her hands in the air and said "wha..." (what). I was laughing so hard that I was crying.
I think we will have our hands full with this one.

Home Improvements
About 2 weeks ago we got a new central unit, our old one was ready to be laid to rest (1960's model). It ran 24 hours a day all summer long and leaked water down the sides. I cannot believe what a difference the new one makes. It barely runs at all.
Next week we are getting our new windows in and I cannot wait. We got double pain, full screen windows.
Next on the list is our roof and more attic insulation. I cannot decide if I want to stay with a shingled roof or go with the new metal roofs. ANY SUGGESTIONS........
