Our First Lost Game.

We lost to the braves 8-3. It was very sad after we crushed the last team. Dad says that they were probably the best team though. I'm going to pitch at our next game. Keep you updated.

Our Paper Bear?

One morning while me and my brother were doing our paper route we saw a bunch of police cars sitting in the middle of the road ( it was a little road called Blue Hills ). We wondered why they were there and when we walked past they said that there was a black bear wandering around here and to be careful. So we kept doing the paper route keeping our eyes peeled though. We thought that since we had our dog with us that he would give us plenty of warning. I went up and delivered to a house where on one side there was a very small line of trees that I usually walk through but this time I decided not to and I walked across the road to the next house. Well after I had delivered to that house my brother and I turned around and saw a black bear across the road in front of the house right next to the one I had just delivered to. He was looking right at us and was walking straight out of the little line of trees that I usually go through. It kept walking and didn't pay us any mind. Our dog was pulling at the leash like he wanted to go make friends with the bear ( our dog is the friendliest dog on the block). After the bear walked off my brother and I ran back to the police and told the police about it they immediately drove over to the spot to keep an eye out for the bear. We walked home and got dad to drive us the rest of the paper route. I hope the bear found it's way back home and didn't bother anyone and that is about the most exciting paper route ever!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Baseball season has officially started and our team has won the first game. My dad is the coach and our team name is the "Black Sheep White Sox". The Black Sheep is a popular coffee and pastry place downtown Amherst. We killed the team we played like 15-3 or something like that. Although this game was just for fun to kick off the season we played like we meant it. We hit a homer, triples,and lots of doubles. The other team kept making errors and bad throws where they should of got the out but over threw.I'm Short-stop, pitcher and catcher sometimes ( not all at the same time I should add ). Tomorrow I'm going to pitch and I'm really excited. I'll keep you updated on the games we play.

Spring ( finally )

It's is finally spring! After 5 months it is here. It's 60 and a little breezy we have been playing outside for a lot of the afternoon. There are little buds on the leaves. Here are some pictures.
This is our backyard where we wage battles play football, soccer, and baseball games. And some other things that can't be explained in words!

This is our looking out our front door into the road where my brother and I walk every morning to do our paper route. about 4-5 ambulances and a million cars go by our house every day.
My sister's garden house is many things a pillbox, a castle, a lodge for weary travelers from Greece, and a farm. It took 2 days to build and 2 hours to paint. Sorry I haven't been able to blog it has been a while. i'll try to blog more. How's your spring?!
