In the picture on the left, she had just crossed home plate and was coming back to the bench to sit down. She also got to play catcher again and did a good job covering the plate. When she was pitcher, she actually made two outs at home plate! We were so proud of her! Go, Mika!
Somebody was tired and missed most of the excitement...
At the end of the game, we passed out cupcakes to the girls. There was enough for each team player, plus the coachs' kids. Marika (see left), didn't get a cupcake (but don't feel sorry for her - she ate one at Mika's school earlier, remember?). So I let Marika have the loose sprinkles at the bottom of the pan. She was determined to get every last bit of "stuff" in there - sprinkles and icing tidbits. I couldn't snatch the pan away from her - and I'd never seen her run so fast either, trying to keep up with me as I kept trying to pull the pan away!
Afterwards, we went to Mickey D's (Mika's choice) to celebrate her birthday (for the last time!), followed by a trip to the store to get birthday balloons (they didn't draw on them this time!), and finally - to Cold Stone Creamery. Whew! I don't know about you, but I'm a little birthday-ed out! We made 2 batches of cupcakes yesterday for all the festivities today. I don't think I want to see another pink cupcake again for a LONG TIME...
