Well, it has come to an end. Our crazy soccer season is now over with a sad tournament day. We have been SUPER crazy since the end of August with soccer 5-6 days a week. I feel like we haven't done anything but soccer, but now, I fear I might miss it a little.

Our day started with Collin and Danny's team that Gary coaches. They have had a tough year with no offensive players. When Gary moved Collin and Danny up on offense we were missing a defense and the other team would score. Poor Gary has lost his voice more than once trying to get the kids to do in the game what they have worked on in practice. It was great for Collin and Danny to be the MVPs and the team ended up seeded 5th. They just didn't have it today. There's always next year!Then we moved to Claire's team. Oh, what a mess this team was. I will just say, 5-6 year olds have to REALLY want to play in order to have a successful team. That being said, Claire and about 2 other kids really wanted to play. .JPG)
When you combine that with a head coach that didn't know a thing about soccer, really didn't want to practice, and had a daughter that hated playing, well, they didn't win a game all season. Claire and her buddies, Ben and Savannah, really tried, but just couldn't overcome the odds. Oh well, I just hope she wants to try again next year.

His team was seeded 2nd so we expected they m.JPG)
ight win today. He has improved so much this year and we're really proud of him. Unfortunately he wasn't feeling great (an upset tummy from too much popcorn and s'mores maybe?) and had sore knees (a problem that has come up several times this season-maybe from growing so much this last year?). I knew we were in trouble when he was raising his hand to come out after about 10 minutes. He was in and out for the first half but played goalie the second half (I HATE when he plays goal!). Well, it was close until the end of the second half. They lost. Bummer. He now want to play basketball, Lord help me!
