One of Ramsey's bike tires were flat when school let out. He called me from the school phone because HE DOESN'T CHARGE UP HIS CELL PHONE NOR DOES HE TAKE IT TO SCHOOL! Not sure why we bought that boy a phone… I told him to wait for me and I'll come with the minivan to pick him and his bike up. He calls right back and asks if he should take the bus home as he can put the bike on the front of the bus. I told him I would pick him up because he had a scrimmage 4-6:15pm and if he took the bus he wouldn't be home until 3:50 or later. Okay. Michael calls me not 2 minutes later and asks if Ram can take the 2nd bus (arrives home 4:05 ish) home with him since Ram's tire is flat. I told Michael there was no way I could reach Ram (BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KEEP HIS CELL PHONE CHARGED AND WITH HIM) but Michael said he would run to the office and get Ram and take him to the bus stop with him. I said okay. Ram comes home at 4:10. He didn't take his cape with him but I fixed it while he was at school. He comes in and puts on his cape and he said a lot of people at school thought he was a butler…I stuck bunny ears on his top hat and we went off to his Xtreme Halloween Scrimmage. The light at the baseball field was quite nice and I got some really nice pics of Ramsey playing first base. Ramsey told me as I was tucking him in bed tonight, "Thank you Mommy for my Halloween costume. I really like it." So sweet!
While Ant was at school I got a call from Joni. Ant made the Xtreme 10u Blast team! Yay for Ant! Joni said the coaches (James and Jullian) said they could have had Ant on the team all season, ha ha. When he came home from school at 3:40 (Hen came home to help drive the boys around), we asked him if he wanted to go to his Fall Ball practice 4-5:30 or the Blast Halloween scrimmage 4:15-6:15. He said Blast of course! He told us he has to wear a belt to practice…the coaches told him to do so at the last practice (Monday) when he didn't have one. He wore his blue cape and the king crown. Hendrik took him to the field (different from Ramsey's field). Ant played 2 innings of catcher and did OK. He came up to bat 3 times -- strike out, fly out and a walk. I came to watch his game for about 45 minutes. Notice that he is batting with a GREEN bat? It is William's bat. Recall that the "expensive" and "popular" bat was the orange Easton Mako bat (that Ramsey finally got) that retails for about $300? Well the newest "hot" bat is the green Easton Mako new version bat that retails for (get this) $550. On Monday when Ram got to this team's practice, he said, "This team has nice bats Mom, wow 3 green Mako's!" Yes…this team has parents that will buy their kids expensive gear!
Then I went back to Ramsey's game and the light was about gone. It was dark and these were the best pictures I got at the end. Ram came up to bat twice and got a far fly out to CF and a good line drive to CF. Yay, both boys are playing Xtreme now! The season is almost over with one more tournament in San Diego.
