Happy Spring ... FINALLY!
Everyone in the house is so happy to be welcoming Spring this week! Its beautiful outside - and for the first time this year - we have been able to partake in some "spring" activities!
Last weekend, however, was a different story! It was cold as hell in Linda Hall this weekend - where the Benson's decided tp play our first Ball Tourney of the year!
I was pumped!
We donned our ball gear - and played some CHILLY games of ball - I mean - teeth chattering, can't use our good bats, huddling for warmth kind of chilly ... the kind where, if it had not been the FIRST time out, or the fact that I needed intense practice - I would have packed 'er up and headed home!
We ended up losing the B Final - not bad for the first time out ...
But the real story lies in what happened OUTSIDE the ball fields .... in the Hall - to be exact! Linda Hall folks put on an EPIC dance .. featuring music from my favorite band ... TRADESMEN! Aside from the fact that we all needed to copious amount of booze to keep us warm ... we were the life of the party ... after a race around the dance floor, a couple of rowdy games of Social-bles, a pant-trading episode and a few games of Paper - Rock - Scissors thrown in for good measure ... Pretty much the best time ... ever. We danced, and laughed, and drank, and PRS'd until 4:30 AM! Good thing we parked by the dugouts ... even though we were less than 4 feet away from where we had to play the next morning ... we still managed to be LATE! Yep - that could only happen to the steamin' beavs :)
Well - since I don't have any pictures this time around ( camera bettery issue ??!!) I am going to end this post with a lsit of things that are happeneing in and around the Benson's as of late ... all the updated on - in due time friends :)
1. Dean-o moved back in. He brought Rock Band. Evenings are now dedicated to learning and mastering the "Beatles" which - I must say ... we are beyond fantastic at!!
2. Dee-Jay was sick last week - but her one leap bound from the kennel to the back door and her constant attempt to keep Dean off the phone with his girlfriend (DJ was so there first!)- signifies a full recovery - Yeah Dee-Jay! Woody - he is the same stud muffin he always has been ... cute as ever! We are attempting to install a underground "shock fence" in the near future - stay tuned for that episode ....
3. Darren is playing slo-pitch - 3 nights a week ... two of these night co-oincide with Shawna's newest sporting venture ... LADIES FASTBALL! it totally rocks - and I can't wait to show you pictures of our awesome adventures!
4. Our yard and house rock. I wake up everyday - thankful for being in our Dream House in Erskine ... but the yard work is intense - two hours of lawn-mowing on Dean's behalf last night -- and that didn't include the sweeping !! Garden is going in on Saturday .... Yeah for Fresh Veggies!
Okay - that is about it for now ....
