Getting Ready for Baseball!

Well Josh is getting geared up for baseball.  It is about that time and sign ups were this past week.  We do not know what team he is on.  The way they arrange teams is quite different than what we know.  Here where we now live, once you begin on a team, that is the team you are with FOREVER...LOL!  Anyway, it is just a lil different, but that is OK.  Change is good.  

After completing his reading (finished Barry the St. Bernard) and the rest of his spelling definitions...where he does part of speech, Ant. Syn. and a sentence using that word, he was off to his buddy Austin's to play pool. Apparently I came to find out that yesterday he and some additional neighborhood boys had found a dead dog in the woods of which they were going back every now and then to see if it was still there...and EEEEEwwwwwwwww! Boys! Reminds me of the story of David at the beach when he was a little boy and he poked the eyes out of a dead fish and didn't he kiss it too??? BLAH!

This evening "the gang"...consisting of Dad, Josh and Jordan (with me doing my computer stuff right here) watched American Gladiators.  It is a weekly event in our home.  Don't ask me to give the play by play...I dunno know.  But they sure can give you the run down.  All I know is some woman named crush or something knocked the hound out of another woman and into the water she went.  : )  Josh is so hilarious though...when the show gets exciting as the gladiators are competing, he cannot contain himself...he is like jumping all around and ends up in front of the television jumping up and down RIGHT in front of the screen so as DAD cannot see what is going on...and just at the climactic part of the fight or whatever they do...dad yells, "JOSH JOSH GET OUT OF THE WAY, I can't SEE through YOU!"  LOL.  Some of you family and friends know JUST what I talkin bout here!  I'll try to get some pics of that next week...that is a weekly happening too!! I feel like I'm in the twilight zone sometimes b/c I hear similar dialog happening that I know I've heard before between those two.

By the way, have you ever seen a tape dispenser lose its stuffing??? Well...I have...Josh came into the kitchen this afternoon (with a look of...I dunno how it happened) and said the tape dispenser just came apart...anyway...the rubber was peeled off the bottom and black beady looking almost like gunpowder looking stuff all over his desk.  Pretty interesting.  Now I know what weighs down a tape dispenser!  Hmmmm, haven't you wondered this too? : ) 

Well, Here's what it looks like and *NOW we KNOW*...the black rubber grippers on the underneath part of a tape dispenser...dunna mess with 'em b/c they DO have a purpose...they serve as hole plugs for this stuff...scroll down a bit and see pic below...
