Fall soccer!

We completed our first season of SOCCER with the girls. They were on two different teams, which meant 4 days a week of practices and games. Good thing us parents LOVE this sport :) They had so much fun, and had two very awesome guys as coaches (each was a dad of a player). It was so neat to see how they worked out their own interests on the field. Marin has a definite instinct for defense, however if you ask her about liking soccer, she will give you a so-so rating. PERHAPS we need to tone down our enthusiasm and give her room to decide if she really likes it on her own. Madeline (who started out very unsure), came to love game days. She loved the uniforms (fashion, of course) and the thrill of being in a real game with people cheering. She split her time evenly between running at full speed (LONG LEGS) and skipping along smelling the dandelions :) She says she is definitely playing next year. We shall see about Marin. All I know is Max is ITCHING to get on a team, that kid will need no prompting!!
 
Marin is #8 (just like mom!) in Blue Kicking Kangaroos jersey. Maddy is #5  in Yellow Sunflowers uniform :)
