Work, Rain, Baseball, And Dinner





So, I tried to get SAT off, but I wasnt able to, With such a small staff at the Scrapbook store, Its not an easy thing to do. So I missed what was going to be Sam's first game. I picked up my patio set before I was off to work, and Dropped off Jake at his game ( they lost) And I instructed Brett to be the photographer for Sam's game, ( since Scott was coaching and he couldnt do it) So Brett took a picture of the Team getting their picture taken, ( I can see that Brett needs a lesson in photography) . It ended up raining right before pictures, ( there is an extra dad in the pic cause one of the boys didnt want to be in it) so we got in the pictures, but no game.
After I got off work I stopped by the house and picked up Jake and three of his friends to take them to Red Robin for his birthday. ( Scott, Alec, Brett and Sam met us there) I asked for two tables, All the teenagers sat at one, and Scott , Sam and I at another. I was close enough to see, but not hear them, so it worked out great. I then Had Red Robin sing to Jake, which he hated, but secretly I think he enjoyed, and they made him wear the funny glasses, ( I have a picture of that too). Then I took some pictures outside of all boys. We went home and they had cake later and all slept downstairs, I told them at midnight they had to be quiet, and that was fine with them all, in fact, when I went to bed at 12:30, only Spencer was still awake, and I am sure Jake was the first to go.
on another note ,As we were standing in the lobby, I was talking to Alec, and a big buff guy in his 20's walked by, and as he did I watched him Size up Alec, it was very odd too see someone do to your son, his expression never changed on his face, he just looked him up and down and up again, and kept walking... I told Alec after he was gone and Alec looked at him and smiled and said " I could take him" and I thought to myself , he was most likely thinking the same thing about YOU. And how strange that was for me to witness, cause as big as Alec gets, he is still and always will be my baby.
