A week or so ago Vincent relayed the following to me:
He told about how at school he was shushing some of the other students to be quiet for the teacher. Then the teacher thanked the other kids for quieting down but did not thank him for doing the 'shushing.' He related this experience to being like hitting a sacrifice bunt play in baseball so another guy could advance bases . . .
Deep baseball-related thoughts for a 1st grader.

Update
(took pictures - will try & update post when I figure out how to get them off phone camera)
Had a nice Mother's Day Sunday. It helped that I cleaned the house on Saturday evening so as to have a more relaxing morning. The kids & Chris were sweet but the morning still centered somewhat on getting ready for church. Got a pitch-fork-thingy from Chris for turning compost in our new composter - not entirely romantic - but very practical which is the way we like things (most of the time :)
We enjoyed a nice dinner over at Bryce & Sharon's house. Sylva and Curtis came. A nice walk after dessert felt great except for the mini heat wave we are having. Was 7pm and still hadn't cooled down quite enough. The kids played happily - Dallin & the girls out back playing make believe Swiss Family Robinson and Vincent with Landon & Wyatt playing ball on driveway.
Chris and Vincent had Father's and Sons campout this week. Vincent loves nothing better than getting out and being a real 'boy' with the other boys in the ward. Played a baseball game as a 'filler' for his old t-ball coach who was short players and caught three fly balls!
We girls went to downtown Orange on Saturday with Grandma & A.Molly to do some unsuccessful antiquing and toy shop, then lunch. The heat drained most of our energy so we ended early, caught the last bit of Vincent's game and came home and tried to keep cool.
