Plumtuckered OUT!

Happy Halloween!

It's been kind of a tradition now to dress up at work for Halloween. This year I kept it as simple as possible...REFEREE! We usually dress up for pictures and then everyone changes their clothes. But today I will be a referee as long as I can. I have to leave work early bc Leven's first playoff game is at 5:30 and the drive is over an hour. We should come home with an easy win tonight. Then round 2 will be a tough one.

This past weekend was a long one. Saturday Trever, Taydem and I drove up to Rowlett to watch Leven's girls play a warm-up game. We lost in 4 games. First lost in a long time. But I think it was a good thing. We saw a much faster game and hopefully this will prepare them for Round 2. After the game Leven joined us and we drove to never never land! Well, Eastland Texas. I have never been that west before. I was seeing cactus everywhere. We were headed to Cisco Junior College for Trever's baseball game on Sunday and we decided to spend the night in Eastland (only 10 miles from Cisco). On the way we stopped by Ranger, Texas. This is where Leven played Junior College baseball. We have heard the stories and so it was nice to finally see the place. Not much there. But I managed to take one good picture of Leven in front of the sign!

We finally made it to the hotel ("big house" as Taydem called it). She was wired!! She would not stop jumping on the beds, running across the room, stomping, laughing, driving us CA-RAZY! Whew...she finally hit the pillow.

The game was forever long on Sunday. It got started late anyways and it was a 10 inning game. We thought about it on the way home. Trever got 3 at bats and like 2 balls hit at him. All that way (4 hours) for just that much ball playing! Not cool. But we had some good family bonding time and got to see Leven's old stomping grounds. That part of Texas is pretty. I will agree with Leven.
