So before my week gets completely out of control and Saturday will be here before I know it, PLEASE take me to the ballpark!!!! I do not mean the little league park. I want to go to Minute Maid Park tonight.
I really like the history of things. Little Einstein and I would love to go and see the game and event (as I would like to call it), Henry would lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve to get #45 Carlos Lee's autograph to add to his collection of baseball memorabilia (primarily Lance Berkman). During the world series we had to have been the only people from Texas supporting the St. Louis Cardinals. Little Einstein wanted Lance Berkman to win a World Series so desperately. He told me over and over, "Mom he deserves it and then he might come back to the Astros." Remember he's in third grade, I don't disagree that Lance Berkman deserve to win, I just didn't have the heart to tell my son at the time that even if they did win, that didn't mean he would be coming back to Houston to play. Since then, he's okay with Mr. Berkman not coming back to the Astros and even got over all the Astros changes pretty good ( the Astros could lose every game and my son would not care and still be there biggest fan). A boy and baseball is a precious thing.
As of 10:00ish this morning The Judge (my husband) sent a surprise text and it read: Be ready by 4 we are going to the game.
I'm soooooooooooooooo excited and Little Einstein is at school and has NO idea, I can't wait to tell him.
