Soccer Mom

So I've been told I can't be "Mother of the Year" so I'm now calling myself an official "Soccer Mom"! The girls started soccer and have already played 3 games. They LOVE it! I think they look great in their uniforms!

I think Sophia is a natural at this. She is really in her element and "gets" the game.



Emma enjoys running around and playing with her friends. She loves being on a team!



The girls have also started dance. They are doing a creative dance that has been perfect for them! A couple of girls in our neighborhood go too, so we get to carpool! Yey for me! They both love being in dance class with friends and love that they can dance freely. They are so expressive and really get into it! It's been so good for them!



Even Ian got into it. Anything his sisters are doing he wants to do too! To Michael's dismay, he got out there and danced his heart out!



I now have such an appreciation for Moms with lots of kids! I only have 3 but I feel so busy all the time! Between school, homework, running them to dance class, soccer, getting dinner on, doing laundry, reading time, dishes, baths and bed--wow my day is full! And they are only in kindergarten! I know it gets worse! I don't know how all you moms do it! I'm getting it now! So my hats off to all you "soccer moms"!

Dang that boy is tough. He's out dancing with a cast and everything. Nothing will slow him down. Your girls look so cute in their uniforms.

How much fun! I love how little kids look in their uniforms! Good for Ian- too bad for Michael. Hee hee- tell him James will sympathize.

OK, your girls look so cute in their soccer uniforms! It really does get fun once they "get" the game and become competitive! I love that our boys want to do stuff that their dad's aren't thrilled about but have to give in to! Been there, done that! A tip from one soccer mom to another...it's called caffeine, it helps me survive!! hehehe

Indeed. My hat's off as well, but to you too. Don't discredit yourself. Three is tough, and so I need you to put on a smiley face so I dare go there.
