Soccer Season

-
We had a great fall soccer season! Sure, the logistics weren't ideal..

-We hoped to have a local team to practice with, but there weren't enough girls signed up so we joined a team 20 minutes away

-Practice was on Friday at 6, when Kent had football, so I took all the girls to practice YAY

But! It was fun to see Caris much more involved in the games this time around. She realized that if she kicked the ball hard and out ran other girls, she could score. And scoring is fun. winkyface But the best part? A TROPHY WITH YOUR NAME ON IT!! Eeeek! Go Care!
 The other highlight of the season was watching my dad watch small children "play" soccer. It tormented him. My mom on the other hand yelled all sorts of encouraging comments for both teams. BIG thanks to all the fam that came to early Saturday games! It made our soccer star feel very loved
 We very much felt like the Saturday Soccer Suburban Family

But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
