Ball Busters

Stu and I went to watch Danny and his kick ball team - called the 'Ball Busters'! It was quite chilly out there so we were well dressed up. I even had my hand warmer, which Stuart spent all night relighting because it kept going out. We need Dad's touch!

So tonight was the Houston kick ball playoffs and Danny's team had to play a semi finals before getting into the final. However, after a well matched semi final game they were pipped at the post - 2:1. The game went on for about 40 minutes until they went into extra time and sudden death. There is regular changes between those kicking and those fielding because you only get three fouls (and outs) before having to change over - and that seemed to be happening an awful lot! There were no home runs unfortunately, but we had an exciting run from Robert when he did a very impressive slide stop at third base.

We are now back home testing out the heating. It is a little smelly - we think it is burning the dust in the air vents but it is warming up nicely :) Snow still forecast tomorrow, so watch this space, will I see a white Houston?!

Oh I had mentioned Stuart's facial hair last night - well tonight it had gone again! I didnt even notice when I came in the door this evening. I will see if I can get his photo of his mostache for you :)
