Most of you know how big a Yankee fan Joe is, the apple doesn't fall far...he got Mariella and Ryan into watching baseball this past season. Mariella is now a die-hard Yankee fan crossing her fingers to get into the stadium next year. She knows the basic rules of the game, can read the score board off of the top of the tv screen, telling you who's playing, who's on base, how many outs there are, balls, strikes, etc. We've had many a fun time yelling and cheering the game on.
When the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs this year, it was a hard pill to swallow for Mariella, she was taking it pretty hard and not wanting the season to end.
Well, good morning October 29th. Not a good day in Yankee baseball for most fans! Boston wins the world series and A-Rod is opting out of his contract and the new manager will be announced. Her response through tears held back at breakfast:
"A-Rod can't leave, he doesn't belong with another team, he belongs w/ us"
"Oh no, is Jeter going w/ him?!?"
"He can't do this"
"They should just give him an ice cream" HA HA....Joe loved that one when I told him and said to me "Yeah a 300 million dollar ice cream cone!"
And Ryan was listening to the whole thing kinda quiet and then said "Don't worry Mariella, we have Joba!"
That's right folks Joba Chamberlain...watch out now!
Long story short, I'm ditching Mariella's A-Rod shirt and getting new Joba ones to ease the hurt! :)
Until April everyone....play ball!

Robbers, Strangers and Youngsters
Mariella was getting dressed for school the other morning and when she saw her shirt, (a hip length black and white striped hoodie), she was said "Ma, I can't wear this shirt! NO WAY!" So I said "Why Mariella, it's cute". She replied with, "I'll look like a robber. Only robbers wear these stripes!" She made an adorable robber that day.
We're trying to explain 'strangers' to the kids because they talk to anyone and everyone and air out their laundry, but that's another story...so
Ryan went to walk into the pew at church for Gavin's christening and my Aunt Jackie said to him, "Hi Ryan!" and he said "I can't talk to you, you're a stranger". She almost peed her pants!
My dad was sweet enough to drive me to the DMV last week to renew my license, (NJ now has digital ones!) and we get up to the lady that checks your six points of proof and she looks at me and says "You're married?!?! Oh, I thought you were like 18, you're 31" Then she looks at my dad and said "And I thought you were her father!" He said "I am her father!" I guess because I was now 31, it was acceptable to have a 63 year old husband!! hee hee. Truthfully, my dad looks awesome for his age. We both left there feeling kinda good! Two spring chickens! ha.
For the kiddies:
What's a scarecrow's favorite fruit?
Strawberries!
