59/365: You Got TC Bear Out?!?!?


My husband today got to play in the Crispin Ice Ball game. He was the first baseman a position that he loves to play. However, today, as he was playing he got TC Bear out. Now as a huge lover of the Minnesota Twins couldn't you give the poor bear some slack?

The game ended in a tie and I was thankful that no one wanted to go into extra innings, as I was FREEZING. It took a while to thaw out seeing that it was only 15-ish degrees during game time with the windchill hovering around 0. Soon the real base ball season will be upon us and I will be wishing for cool days.

58/365: Not So Fast

These are my mittens. I LOVE them so much that I own two pairs (okay
one mysteriously went missing then showed up after pair two was
bought). Seeing that February is coming to an end, I hope March can
usher in spring. I am excited to start biking and maybe (gasp!) running.

57/365: Snow Day?

Not today. Maybe tomorrow? In any case I am going to unearth my
driveway for the third time before getting anywhere. Mr. Plow driver
if you read this blog please do not push more snow into my driveway.

The wind is coming towards my back as I braved the picture as it was
too hard to stand facing the north wind.

56/365: It's Base Ball in February

E loves vintage base ball (yes it is two words). This weekend he is
playing at Midway stadium for the Crispen Ice Ball. He is excited to
get back into the base ball season.

55/365: Watching The Future

Today I was back at the oval to watch A & B skate in their year-end Novice Race. I snapped this picture of their cheering section as B was lining up for his first race. In the picture (from left to right) my poppie, my friend C (the one with the camera), DB, DB's Mom, and DB's dad. Tomorrow will be, most likely, my last day on the ice and I am sad to see the season to come to an end.

54/365: A Visit From The Fairy

The laundry fairy visited me today. It amazed me how much laundry we
generated during our long weekend away. However, 2 more loads left
before I can send the laundry fairy to the next lucky recipient.

53/365: Joe

Meet Joe, Joe is the President of Greater Minnesota Speedskating Association. This weekend he was up at the North American and U.S. National Long Track Marathon, after skating the 25k on Saturday, he came out as well to cheer during the 50k race. I snapped this picture of him as he excitingly was ringing the bell for a skater's final lap. After I did so, I told him I was going to put it on the Internet. :)

Also Joe and the rest of the people at the marathon thanks for cheering me on during my 25k race yesterday. It made the race fun and exciting.
