On Sunday morning, Chase had a Bears baseball game, so he and Daddy had gone to Mass early Saturday evening. Unfortunately, Chase's team lost the ball game. Nanaw left for church early because she was worried traffic would be backed up on the JB bridge because of road work. Before she went to church, she stopped at Butler Hill Schnuck's to get the Sunday paper and to look for leaves for Chase's leaf science project. She found some on the trees in the parking lot of Schnuck's and at her church and by the lake and the lake road in her subdivision. In the afternoon, she took the leaves and Chase's finished pages over to his house. She found out that they couldn't use the leaves from Missouri. The project was just about leaves from Illinois trees. Chase got all the leaf pages done and put them in a binder. After the project was finished, Chase went out in the back yard to practice batting, and Nanaw went with him to watch. On Monday morning, Chase was supposed to take the leaf project binder to school with him and keep it in his locker till the project was due. But both Nanaw and Chase forgot to take the binder. First, they were going to have Nanaw bring the binder when she came to pick him up from school but then they decided to have him take it to school on Tuesday morning. Chase had an ICS baseball game after school, and Nanaw was going to go watch it. But the game was cancelled because they didn't have any umpires. So the two teams had a scrimmage -- which means they played each other. And Nanaw went to watch the scrimmage and really enjoyed it. Chase knew two of the boys on the Eagles team: Chase N. from the CBC team Chase played on last year and Lucas who lives down the street from Nanaw and who Chase played with on a team when they were younger. Chase's team lost but he got two really good hits. Nanaw was very proud and thinks that all the batting practice he's been doing has really paid off.
