a perfect day for soccer!!


if only you could sense sarcasm in a written blog!! today was anything but a perfect day for soccer!! it was rainy, windy and cool..and not the misty rain i have grown to ignore, but the rain where you actually get wet!! shawn somehow lucked out and had class tonight, so good ol' mom went and sat in the rain to cheer on her little fella! tonight, the coach thought the kids were ready for a scrimmage, well i guess some of the kids did not agree! there were 8 kids that came tonight and out of the 8 only about 5 played in the scrimmage! grady, brennen and dante stayed in the whole game--they did great! the kids at this age play without a goalie--it is a feat just to get the ball down the field! grady had a great time...i don't even think he new it was raining!! he is a very aggressive little player, which is very fun to watch - he is not usually one to take a toy from another, but when it came to that soccer ball he was all over getting that thing back!! he took the ball down the field a number of times but about the time he was ready to shoot - brennen would steal it back...it continued the whole time like that! tonight was our turn for snacks--grady thought that part was awesome. he handed out the snacks to everyone...and he kept saying, "now, you only get one!" i guess he wanted to make sure he had some extras to take home!! that's my boy!

The weather lately has driven me crazy. Grady is a better person than I am. I don't like being out in it and he has been playing soccer in it. He is a champ!
