Is It Spring Yet?

The day after Christmas Ryder asked if it was Spring yet? I replied No not yet. But Mom, you said after Christmas was Spring and then I can play soccer. I was at a loss of words. Soccer season is still 6 weeks away.

A couple of days later he asked if he could play football. I replied No not yet. You need to get a lot bigger. Ok, when does soccer start?

A week later he asked if he could play baseball. I replied No not yet. You need to be older to play. Ok, when does soccer start?

As I left for my monthly soccer meeting he asked did you have my soccer stuff yet? No not yet. Well you need to remember Mom because I want to play.

Sunday afternoons he pretends to be playing soccer. He gets dressed up in various uniforms and pretends to play soccer.

I don't know if he will last until March 31st for the first game.

Soccer Week #2

Week two was all about defense. The teams were evenly matched so only 3 goals were scored. Reganne scrambled and blocked a goal by slide kicking it out of the way.

Kick Off

Defense

Reganne had a lot of fun. The girls all get along and hug each other goodbye. Later in the day we were shopping at Walmart. A little girl from the other team ran upto Reganne and gave her a big hug. She told h er mom that this was her soccer friend.

Busy Weekend!!!

We have had a busy weekend full of activities. I am not sure why they can't be spread out over a couple of weekends. They all seem to pile up on one. To start the weekend off with a bang. We went to the Movie on the Square on Friday Night. They were showing "Horton Hears a Who" The kids loved it and the adults did too. The new family tradition is to bring homemade caramel popcorn and play in the water before the movie. Then everyone has their own blankets and when it is dark curl up in the blankets. This week we saw many friends and everyone was excited to see the movie. It was a good movie and the kids keep asking if we can buy it not borrow it.

Rylee & Reganne enjoying the caramel popcorn. They were fighting over who ate the most and who had the bowl closest to them. Do I look like I am teething. Two new teeth this afternoon decided to make their appearance. He was in the stroller to keep him out of the popcorn. He only made it through 1/2 of the movie before he was asleep.
Saturday was game number 2 for Reganne. She did really great this weekend. She was out running and trying to catch the ball. She didn't have to hold anyone's hand this time.
Here they are getting ready for kick off. This week not as many goals were scored they kept missing it by inches. Reganne decided she would be the ball and climbed inside the goal net and kept the other team from making a goal. She would rather hang back from the group and wait for the ball to come to her. She might make a good goalie when she grows up.
