Soccer!!

Tonight Danica had her first Tot Soccer practice. She LOVED it. It was dreary and rainy-so perfect soccer weather. There was about a bazillion kids so at times it was chaotic but I thought the "coaches"(a girl's soccer team) did a real good job managing the group. At first Danica was kinda whiney and didn't want to go out but it only took a moment before she was literally jumping up and down, shrieking, because she was so excited. They played simon says for a little bit. After messing up a few times Danica would look around at the group before doing whatever Simon said.
The kids also practiced dribbling around cones, shooting between flags and throwing the ball over their heads.
I apologize for the fuzzy pictures. I don't know how to work a camera.

Near the end a bunch of the kids were just rolling around in the ground or running free around the field so Danica worked with her coach one-on-one practicing headers(which I saw her succeed once and she was excited about later) and the girl had her try and steal the ball.

It was all fun to watch. Rob made fun of me because I was the only one taking pictures. What is with these other parents?! Sheesh...

Thanks for commenting on my blog! Your little girl is just too adorable. I can't believe that the other parents werent taking any pictures, crazy! I take pictures of my son everyday and when he is in soccer I will probably take pictures every practice.

Can I say again how much I love that you have a blog. Melissa, you do a great job. I love the pics even if they are blurry. Danica is so darn cute. She just makes me smile. She looks so cute in her little soccer uniform. I so wish I could see some of those practices. Sounds like the coach does a great job. Keep the blogs coming. Mom, Mykie, Nana Mykir

I have to wait for better weather to finish painting then I will take pictures of the finished product. I didn't know you were looking for a duplex. To buy or rent? Are houses too expensive?

Taylor said...

What do you think of the paint colors? You miss the blue don't you?what haven't you posted in like two weeks?

The one Taylor is in is a Cosco Gotham High-Back Booster. It is from Target and it is a Booster that buckles like the harness seats. It was only $50 I love it! When your kids are older you can remove the harness and use the car buckle. Here is the link from Target for the EXACT chair I have for Taylor. If the link doesn't work then look it up on Targets website.
