Merrily Musing on Monday

Happy Monday to you!! And Happy May 21st! And Happy 24 Finale Night! Yippee!!

Yeh. Yeh. I know I'm a bit...passionate(?) about this show, but each season really is like a roller coaster ride, with this one being no exception.

So two hours watching my favorite show, eating wings and other yummy treats, and I'm a happy lady.

School is beginning to wrap up. We've finished our homeschool group now and AWANA. And Emily only has two more dance classes. Wow! The school year really has flown past. I can't believe Emily will be a 5th-grader and Edward a 1st-grader next year. Both are looking forward to the various summer reading programs in the area, especially the one at Barnes & Noble where they can each earn two FREE books.

5 THINGS TO BE HAPPY ABOUT

  • visiting a gorge
  • a harmless bug
  • eating hotdogs at a baseball game
  • window boxes overflowing
  • playing Candy Land

Stuart had a great thrill of his life at the Reading Phillies game we attended with his parents a few weeks ago.

During each half of the innings, there are little entertainment moments, brought to the fans by the various sponsors of the game/ballpark.

One of the moments including catching something thrown from the field.

Since the thrower worked his way around the stadium, we watched in amusement as others had the chance to catch the items.

On the last throw, Stuart stood up, certain he wasn't in line with it but willing to try nonetheless.

Papers fluttered sideways.

Buns split and flew to oblivion.

And Stuart put out his hand just in time to catch the...naked HOTDOG!

The fans went wild! Everyone was laughing and cheering at his lucky catch. He was the hero of the hour.

Stuart stood in shock, holding the hotdog and laughing along with everyone else.

Then he ate it.
