We decided to bite the bullet and put all the boys in soccer this year.
It was a big leap for us--well mostly for Ben!
The problem isn't with them actually playing. The problem is trying to work three sets of practices into a week full of homework and other activities with only one parent to balance things on most nights.
We've put it off long enough, though.
We signed them up and prayed it would work out.
It's been a bit rough, but we've gotten it sorted out--thanks to the help of Grandpa John!
Our Saturday mornings are spent jumping between their games.
Josh's are quite entertaining!
I think he often forgets that he's actually playing in a game. I've seen a shocked look on his face more than once when he sees the ball suddenly roll past him! He'll catch on, but I doubt it will be this season!
Henry's fierce on the field.
He goes after the ball with everything he's got. He's pretty good, too. It surprises me, because I don't think he's really played much, other than kicking it around a little in the front yard. I'm pretty sure he's a natural athlete. Really, everything seems to come natural to Henry--lucky him!
Luke's done really good this year.
He hasn't played on a team since 1st grade, but he plays almost everyday at recess. Much to Ben's sadness, he really wants to be a goalie. He's not currently big on running, so the goal may be the perfect spot for him!
I'm really glad they all got to play this year, but I must admit that we won't be too sad for the season to be over.
We're not big fans of chaotic schedules!
