The boys have begun their fall team-sports. Our Saturdays will consist of uniforms, balls, water bottles, lawn chairs, Gatorade, and cheering for 2 of the cutest little guys on earth for the next 8 weeks or so.
Jack is playing flag-football through the YMCA on a team that is made up mostly of boys from his school. They are called The Lions. Ideally, after spending time playing together this season, the boys will be used to playing together and have a good sense of "team" by the time they are old enough to play on the school's official team. Jack has been a little challenged with the amount of work that he is having to put in at practice - the extreme Texas heat has not helped. After his first practice, he said, "If that had not been football, it would have been horrible." But it is football. And he loves it!
For the first time in our family's history, we have a soccer player. Cooper is is playing and Corey is coaching a soccer team made up of 5 year old little boys. They are called The Sharks. Corey and I have hardly ever been exposed to this sport and do not know much about soccer, so we are learning and laughing our way through this (very cute!) experience. At Cooper's first soccer game on Saturday, I realized that I have watched my kids play approximately 400 - 500 games, and this is the first time I have ever officially been a "soccer mom".
