We have some definite soccer fever going on at our house. 4 days a week! Ellie is playing again this year-
Aren’t they cute? :)
And Addie is too! She has been so excited to play for the past year. Last year, every time Ellie would go to practice or we would go watch her games, Addie begged to play. We kept telling her, “You’re not old enough yet, just a little bit longer…” and then her day finally came for her first game! She was SO excited, and felt like a million bucks all dressed up in her own official uniform. We arrived at the field, and no one from her team was there. There were two older teams playing. We called her coach to see what was going on, and he was out of town and had no idea… eventually we found out they changed the U5 schedules the night before – and most coaches/players didn’t know about it. So she didn’t end up having a game, and this is what she did the entire time during Ellie’s game -
totally heartbroken with big old alligator tears running down her cheeks because she didn’t get to play soccer. It was the saddest thing ever. However, she was much happier last Saturday when she got to play her first game. :)
She was smiling the entire game – even when we had to go get her from the playground to sub in. So glad we have a happy girl now. :)
We have a happy dad too – he is playing soccer three days a week. We has been playing indoor soccer on Tuesday nights -
and has been doing so good he got recruited for an outdoor club team. He’s loving it. And kicking some butt.
So Tuesdays L.J. plays indoor, Wednesdays Addie has practice at 5:00, and Ellie has practice at 5:30, Thursdays L.J. has games for outdoor, and Saturdays, Ellie and Addie have games and L.J. has outdoor practice. So if you can’t get a hold of us, you can bet where we’ll be. :)
