It is finally here - the day has come that the little boys can play soccer. They were anxiously awaiting this day. Waiting and asking. Liam was the most persistent about knowing when soccer would be and felt very put out when Caden played on Monday and he didn't get to! So, after watching the rain come and go all day and holding our breaths, we saw the sun come out and the field fill up with adorable little kids in their cute little soccer jerseys and lots of smiling parents. Because this is one of the cutest things ever! We thought it would be considerate of us to have Justin coach since we make up most of the team. I have to say i went into this very naively! Don't I know my kids by now? So while Justin was busy with the other 5 kids, who listened and followed his instructions, I was trying to talk my boys into listening and participating, going from one to the other to the other. At one point Liam starting walking home since we were playing in the field right behind our house. I had been trying to get Evan off the net so the other kids could take their shots and took a quick count to see that one was missing. Remember that Justin is coaching so he can't help. Here I thought the kids would be right in there with dad. Not so much. Needless to say, by the end, I was exhausted. At least one of us got some exercise. I should say that they did do a few of the skill things and Dylan played during the game. The other two wouldn't play at all. So - that is game number one and I'm still chuckling a little at the circus our life is. It's hilarious. Here are a few pictures. SO CUTE!
