Hey! I think it is time you purchase a BEDAZZLER!!!!

I think it's going to be Red Rubies for the reason you mentioned (currently 4 votes rubies, 1 vote rock stars, 1 vote roses). As soon as we get the visors, we'll ruby them up.

Mercifully, we have an excellent team mom. She's already hard at work on the treat schedule as well as the banner. It's great.

Good idea! That should be in the suggested list of coach's equipment. Quick-cold packs, tissues, Bedazzler, scorebook, bucket.

What a great dad you are! Your DD will remember these days for the rest of her life.

High five, amigo.

the Rose Red Ruby Rockstars

Personally, I think 5 year old girls would like the Ruby Rockstars!

And, they need red shoe laces!

Red shoe laces . . . great idea!

I know! I know!!

Guy Smiley could french braid each one of their hair with a red ribbon going throught it!

Would a pony tail using a red rubber band count? I could add the ribbon to that. Another good idea. I'll pick up some red hair ribbon.

I haven't learned the French braid yet. DD5 won't sit still that long, anyway.

Red carpet. yeah, red carpet at their bench.....

Red bat bags!

Red batting helmets!




I CAN FRENCH BRAID! I LOVE ROAD TRIPS!! I AM AVAILABLE TO BE YOUR FRENCH BRAID CONSULTANT! I COULD EVEN BRAID IN RED RIBBON!

You provide the airline tickets!

Here ya go! Doncha just luv YouTube?

Video on how to french braid hair

Yeah, no way DD5 would sit still that long, but thanks for the link, PM. I think I could do that. Just as a pride thing one of these days.

Thanks for the offer, Cinders. I'll see what the team budget has available.

I had another idea for a team name: the Red Bulls. There could be a team sponsorship deal. We could put in a pre-game ritual: each girl drinks a Red Bull before we take the field. That would pretty much guarantee I won't be managing next year, I would think.

SDGuy on French Braiding a whole team full of hair... with cute widdle ribbons..






SD... I'm afraid we're going to have to pull your dude card.



You too with the 'next season' speculations already? Eesh.. one game at a time.. you and Chris both.. c'mon fellas!

Hey SD,how have you been? I have been reading your thread for awhile now and I had to get in a word about french braids and baseball. WoW! What a combination. I love to french braid hair, if I lived closer I would braid the whole team! I think it's so neat that you are coaching DD5's team! Having met her, I bet it's a real hoot. Both of your kids are so great. Chris and I couldn't get over how well behaved they are and how personable! KUDOS to you DAD! I think SCQ is a real POS of a mother for taking them 25 miles from their school and from you. I believe it was Chris that said that it wouldn't be surprising if they one day said they want to be with you full time. I find it so hard to believe that any parent could abandon their child the way SCQ and Wayzilla have. :twobyfour: I sure hope the karma bus comes to both of them in spades!! Well I just wanted to say hi and let you know that my french braiding skills are quite good! How's the dating going?? Sounds like you are having fun - you certainly deserve it! Take care, have a great day!

and the parents in the stand will wonder why their little darlings are running around the bases TWICE every time they bat.

Hey, DGS. Thanks for stopping by! And for the kind words.

I was going to send the suggestion out to the parents as a joke, but I'm not sure they'll get that I'm joking.

I'm kind of on a hiatus. Work has been such a drag lately that I don't feel good enough to put in the energy required. We've been in this limbo--17 of us knowing that we're to be condensed into a group of 6--for three weeks now with one more week to go. Probably. Then we get helpful emails about where the boxes are and reminders to clean out our offices. It's really great for morale.

The first couple of weeks were merely lousy, but it's gotten really bad lately. My depression is acting up a bit--I woke this morning from an infidelidream. My fuse for SCQ-related stupidity is much shorter now. The counseling conflict seems to be resurfacing

All things considered, I'm really doing pretty well. It's just that there are a lot of things to consider at the moment.

LOL!!! knowing 5 year olds, maybe the team's name should be the Red Rovers

Goin' out to you, Guy Smiley

SD, I'm really sorry about your job. It's really scary out there. Chris is worried about his job and mine is not secure as this is my first year at this school district. As if there isn't enough to worry about. My DD17 can't find a job and Chris's DD21 may be getting laid off. Not right, I sure hope our new president gets a chance to make some of the changes he wants to make. SO, enjoy the positive things about your life right now - your wonderful kids!! I think the "Red Skirts" would be a cute name for the team. But what do I know! Take care and think positively.....life is good!

Do not name the team the Red Flags!

Hey Guy. Sorry to hear about all the job stress. I have a friend who worked for a CMO right next door to my work and they were bought out and 'consolidated', meaning lots of people lost their jobs and those that they were gracious enough to allow to keep their jobs had a choice of whether to move to Connecticut or not. She said the last month prior to their operations closing was excruciating.

I sure did pick a fine time to wanna move If I find a job, who's to say that I won't suffer the 'last one in, first one out' syndrome if the new site has budget cuts. Oy!
