Soccer!

We signed Austin and Emma up for soccer a couple of months ago.  I didn't even ask them if they wanted to play...just assumed that they would.  When I told them that I had signed them up I had a bit of a mixed response. 

Austin was thrilled...Emma not so much.

I told her that she had to at least try and she got really upset.  Austin has spent the last couple of weeks trying to convince her how cool soccer is but no dice.  When she found out that today was her first practice she got just a little hysterical.  I know it sounds mean but I knew that she would love it once she tried it so I just told her that she didn't have a choice, she had to go and try it as least once.

Well, you tell me...do you think she loves it???

Yep, She certainly does!!!  Way to go EMMA!

This year is a little tricky with practices because Austin and Emma have their practices on the same night at the same time at different schools about 10 minutes apart.   Emma's is from 5:00 to 6:00 and Austin's is from 5:30 to 6:30.  We are fortunate because our friends the Finnestad's are on the same teams with us.  Josiah is on  Emma's team and James is on Austins.  That means that we can do some creative child swapping and get each child to the correct location at the correct times.  YEA! 

I was able to get to Austin's practice with about 10 minutes to spare.  It was great to see him playing but I was sad to miss so much of it.  Next time I will be able to spend more time at his practice but less at Emma's.  Bummer.
