Busy Saturdays

Three soccer players = very busy Saturdays!!

Colby - can't get enough soccer. He has a ball at his feet almost as much as he has a book in his hands. I wish I would have videotaped his game from yesterday because it had to be the game of his life. He played like I have never seen before and blew everyone away! It was fun to watch.

Taylor - totally surprised me with soccer because we tried it when she was 4 and she hated it, mostly because she had to wear those long socks! But - She LOVES it and she is FAST and she never seems to get tired. She has gotten more aggressive and more confident with each game.

Halle - doesn't love soccer so much! She tells the coach she needs a break A LOT and runs by me on the sidelines and asks why I didn't sign her up for gymnastics:) I've never bribed my kids in sports but I told Halle I would pay her $1 for every goal she scored just to try to get that girl to stop chatting with the coach during the game and to run a little bit, at least kind of close to the ball:) She has started to make an adorable "game face" and she grunts like she's playing tennis and she has gotten a little more skip in her step since I offerred the bribe. She even scored one goal - in the other team's goal... but I still paid her a dollar!

And our sweet, patient little fan gets her own scrapbook page for this post...
