Take me out to the Ballgame & Maddie's sweet ride

We went to the Joliet Jackhammers baseball game this week. For as much as a 3-year old and 10-month old will be entertained by a baseball game, it was a great idea. There are grassy areas to sit and eat hot dogs (my favorite part of the game), and there was a lot for the kids to do. Aside from the mascot antics during the game, there was jumping castle and a toddler sized "batting cage."

Singing "Take me out to the Ballgame," Jack says "buy me some peanuts and Cracker Me's" (Cracker Jacks, get it? I thought it was pretty darn funny)



Thank, you, Aunt Eileen for the car and the water table. Maddie LOVES her new ride. Buckled in, she pulls herself up on to a standing position, holding on to the the steering wheel, and says "go go go." It will see many many strolls around the neighborhood.

Maddie playing "dumpster-diving baby" in a box of mismatched accessories. She looks like a cute, crazy little hobo (or housing deficient American?) Whatever the politically correct term is, she looks like she should have a flask in her hand.
