Another saturday - another soccer game

 

Today we had Colin's first soccer game of the season.  Our coach was out of town this week for a wedding so Brent volunteered to coach practice and ended up doing both practice and the game today. Colin was thrilled.  I am also the team mom so last night I was up making a frog sign (they are the leap frog team) to put behind the goal so the kids knew which goal to run towards.  His team has 3 &4 years olds so many of them are still learning.  It turned out better than I thought and it was easy to tell the kids to go feed the frog the soccer ball when some of them had no clue were to go.  I wish I could take credit for the idea but another mom came up with it. Colin was not impressed with my sign and wanted me to draw another frog but that little girl holding the sign loved it.  haha in fact she looks like the only one who liked it.  oh well :)

Colin scored 4 goals.  He was so proud of himself. This league has goalies.  Which is a big deal.  A lot of the kids wanted to be goalie. I'm not sure all of them will want to be the goalie next time since they realized it wasn't so fun when all the action was at the other end of the field.  And yes if you read the shirts we are doing the homeschooling league this time.  So far its been wonderful. I'm going back and forth with homeschooling Colin next year and figured its a great way to talk to other moms and learn more about how it all works. 

A fun morning.  Colin was so cute and always has the biggest grin on his face when he is out playing.  He also was the loudest cheerleader yelling "go green leap frogs!" over and over when he wasn't playing and cheered on his team mates. 

Joel made himself at home in someone's chair.  He did run out on the field saying "dada" a few times and really wanted to go out there.  Its going to be hard this time keeping him on the sidelines just watching. 

Giving 'coach' daddy a high five after he scored yet another goal.
