Softballs Aren't So Soft

I really need to do my research as to how softballs got their name softballs. Is it because baseballs were already owned by the boy club or is it because they think all girls are softies. Because let me tell you softballs aren't so soft. Just ask Ryleigh, I am sure she would tell you they aren't so soft. Thursday night game Ryleigh got hit once again with the softball. The first two games she was hit in the leg, no big deal, small bruise she brushed it off. Not tonight, she was bawling she got smacked right in the side in the lower region of her ribs. It doesn't seem to be bruising, but its a whelped up circle on her side.  I will insert a picture below..

        Again after seeing these pictures whomever state softballs to be "soft" were crazy. 

      The following picture, I was taking of my baby girl batting, but I just so happen catched her doubled over in pain right after she got hit! GO ME! Not really, because she's hurting and I just wanted a picture of her up to bat. 

You can tell by the lady in whites facial expression that it was a hard hit. But she roughed it out and ran her bases. Got to the dugout and cried to momma. Momma came to the rescue tho, got her a bag of ice along with some FROYO!!!

Thanks for reading. Got any insight on how a softball got its name. Comment below, because I love learning new things.

The Eichhorst Family Weekend Update

Friday March 11th:  Not really much went on Friday. The kids did have school and then the usual as every other day. After 3pm, kids are home and then the weekend starts.  However,  facebook scrolling got me a good deal.  Let me rewind so you will understand what happened. My lovely man doesn't listen to me. How many woman out there have mean that don't listen? Well, I told Ken this fall when we decided to drain the pool due to the water changing colors again and it to late in the year to refill it. Well needless to say he didn't listen. Well this past February. Instead of snow this year we have had a few snow days a lot of rain days and windy days. Well on one of those stormy windy days. The wind picked up enough and threw the swimming pool upward and the deck pole busted through the bottom of the pool.  Well, swimming is something in this area with children my age you really can do on a hot day.  So we have talked about Lord what are we gonna do to be able to get the children a pool. Well needless to say a lady on Facebook that actually use to be my children Parents As Teacher (Teacher) had her pool up for FREE. That right we got a four and half foot deep pool by 42 across for FREE. On top of that it is a medal pool. So That's what ended our exciting night.

Saturday March 12th:   That morning we woke up and I showed Ken and my neighbor mark where the house was to be able to start the process of taking the pool down.  Then the exciting part was I went and signed Ryleigh up for softball and I some how got talked into being a coach or assistant coach. HAHA, I miss playing softball.  That should be enjoyable. Keep a watch out for The Eichhorst Family You Tube Channel for hilarious videos.

Sunday March 13th: This day started out like any other Sunday besides loosing and hour of sleep. I mean an hour of sleep. Ryleigh had a birthday party for a friend. So we got ready and headed to the party. In which I ended up booking Brayden's birthday party. Yes, we know that his birthday is in February. But we have had so much going on and waiting to see what the weather was going to do that's exactly why we have waited. However, he went from wanting a Sonic Party to a Pokemon party! Good thing I have way over a month to plan for it!


That's the Recap of  theEichhorstFamily Weekend.

How was you guys' weekend!?
