Soccer season won't be over fast enough

We signed the boys up for soccer way back in the summer.  Yeah we had asked if they wanted to play, a couple said yes, one said no. But what do they know right?  We signed em up!  No multiple/sibling discount and 3 sets of shoes and shin guards bought!  Our friends, the Nunn's, wanted their daughter, who is the same age as the boys, to play on the boys team so we got that all set up once Mike volunteered as coach.

This is the best picture I could get

Ian played, but was more interested in charming the crowd

Travis

The boys really have no interest in playing soccer. We can get Ian and Travis to do a little practicing, but there is no hope for Logan...he just plain refuses. Game days have gotten a little less stressful for Coach Mike and Asst Coach Lauren.  Luckily we have some cool parents that don't expect a lot out of "4 year old soccer."  The boys enjoyed playing blastball last spring and we will more than likely put them back in that league in the spring. 

A new school year

This year Lauren is a big 7th grader.  School started for her last week and it was filled with new schedules and volleyball tryouts!   Yes, she made the team.  There are three teams for 7th grade; A B C.  She made the B team and games begin tomorrow and go through the end of October.

Lauren is also starting Lacrosse practice this week. This is the first time since she was 4 years old that she is not playing soccer.  I'm proud of Ms. L for trying stepping out of her comfort zone and trying a new sport.

Today the boys started their final year of Mothers Day Out (aka Preschool).  It's hard to believe that next year they will be going to kindergarten.  Yes, I'm excited for them, excited that I won't be writing a "car payment" for preschool, but sad that my little boys are growing up. This is my last year of having them at home with me all day long ;-(
