go mudballs!!!...oh i mean fireballs!!!

on saturday, the fireballs had their last soccer game....and it was muddy! it has been raining pretty much everyday for the last 4 days, so the field resembled a mud wrestling ring! the boys just ate it up.....they were sooo muddy, most of them got stripped down to their fruit of the looms before they got to enter anyone's vehicle! i have no idea of the score, i'm pretty sure we didn't win...but i have not laughed this hard in a long time...so that counts for like 50 scores! everytime the boys would kick the ball, someone would get a face full of mud, their was a lot of slippin' and slidin', and in order for a goalie to stop the ball he would have to one stop slidin' long enough to get to the ball, but being boys he would then need to lay on it!! oh, they had a great time! at first when i saw the field, being a complete neat freak, i was less than impressed with what i knew was about to happen, but after i accepted the inevitable mess, i just enjoyed the free mud show! this was definitely the best end to a soccer season i could have imagined....we don't know the score, but we know we ended the season with 10 very happy (and muddy) seven year olds...and after all isn't that what life is all about!
