Yay, soccer is over!

I enjoy my girls playing soccer. It's quite cheap for a whole season that includes practices, uniforms, and a trophy while they get good exercise and learn coordination skills. However, when you have to be up and at the field at 8 am on a Saturday morning, it ruins it all. We had a good season though. Caitlin got hit in the face with the ball a few weeks before the end of the season so she was hesitate to go after the ball. This last game she was a defender and as the other team worked the ball up close to the goal she stood there with her hands on her hips while they shot one right through the net. It can be frustrating to watch your child not play 100% and you can try to talk to them till your blue in the face about getting in the game and helping their team, yet nothing changes. I think we'll try a different sport/activity next year.
Ashlan did really well the past few weeks. She really got in the game and was more aggressive than she had been in the past. She even got a couple goals the last couple games she played. I wasn't able to get any pictures of her last game because it was one of those times where we were rushing to get everybody ready and out the door but it wasn't working. So I told Ken to just take her while I stayed home with the other girls.
