Oh the joys of having both kids in soccer at the same time. Our week consisted of Tuesday & Wednesday games plus games for each on Saturday - not in the same place. We put a lot of mileage on the car going to & from soccer in April. Stephen's a good sport - when I say I've signed him up for something he's usually pretty cool about it. And he was with spring soccer. He was on a team this year that really was good, which helped with his self-esteem and team morale. (In years past his teams have been less than stellar.)

Emma, on the other hand, was excited to play soccer until soccer actually started. I blame myself for not getting out and showing her how to play and that kicking is OK. The first game went like this:
Excited to be in uniform
Kicking the ball around with my team
"Peoples kicked me!"
"Yeah, treats!" (even if you cry the whole game!)
