Soccer season is here again and once more I have discovered the true meaning of being a "soccer mom". I spend at least 2 hours a day driving kids to different practices/games. The camp chairs have taken up permanent residence in the back of my car. I am already starting to look like a raccoon because of my tan lines from my sunglasses.
Both Syd and Brynn are playing soccer this year. Their first games were on Saturday. It is always fun to watch them play.Syd is playing on a full-sized field this year. There is tons of running up and down the field. After her games, Syd ate THREE sandwiches for lunch and about fell asleep in her dinner that night.
Claire spent much of the game boo-hooing for a "nack". It could be a long six weeks for her.
We also had to out fit Syd in new cleats. Darn kid just keeps growing. But are these not the coolest cleats you have ever seen? We don't look for Syd by her number, we look at shoes. She is easy to spot..
Brynn is playing soccer for the first time this year. I thought my ballerina princess might be a little timid, but boy was I wrong. She has a bit of an aggressive streak in her. It is great to watch!
I don't know about all of you, but I remember this as being one of my favorite things about soccer. Juicy oranges, yum!
Never one to be left out, Claire decided that shin guards are the new perfect accessory for her pretties. The shin guards are too big on her and make her fall down, but she doesn't get hurt because her shins are protected, but the shin guards make her fall down, but it doesn't hurt. . . you get the idea.
As always, I am super-proud of my girls, especially the way they cheer for each other.
So if you are trying to find us over the next six weeks we are probably at the soccer field or in the car. Come watch a game with me. I will provide the fishy crackers and a chair for your bum.
I have wanted a chair for my porch for a long time. I would love to sit on the front porch and yell at random kids who happen by. "Get off my lawn, pick up your trash, don't talk like that!" You get the idea. I bought up this brown and yellow velvet treasure for $15. I decided to spray paint it white and recover the cushion with some fantastic Jessica Jones fabric. This was the result. I have to say that I had a proud moment when it was done. Now I can sit on my porch and yell to my heart's content. If you come by I will let you try it out too. The chair and the yelling.
