First Soccer Game and school so far...

This past Saturday, Caroline had her very first soccer game!  Her team is the Blazers and they are yellow.  Her number is 7.  After practice last Monday, I didn't have high hopes for the game.  C fell during practice and then didn't want to keep playing.  All week she told me she wasn't going to play.  I imagined an hour of tears from her and an hour of pleading to play from me.  Luckily, it turned out great!  She was ready to play and enjoyed running after the ball.  She didn't get much ball time because there is this one little girl on her team who is seriously a soccer star.  She understands the game and is very coordinated and she would swoop in, get the ball, and score a goal each time someone else got the ball.  C did get to be a "kicker" at one point and kick the ball back into play.  She was so proud of herself - and we were pretty proud too.


Warming up

Her coach is a doctor and he was on call that day - luckily Phillips is the best assistant coach ever!

Isn't she the cutest??

Biggest fan!!

I just love these two sweet girls!

And this little boy too :)

Great game for the Blazers!!  They got snacks and drinks after the game and they were all pretty excited about that.  Can't wait for the next game.  Seriously, 3 year old soccer is adorable.

And now for some school updates...

This is the second full week of school and my girls are rockin it!  AP loves her teachers and I really think she likes the time away from me.  It was just what she needed.  She is not the tag-a-long little sister in the class, she's just one of the group and I know she loves it.  Her class finished their class bags and they are adorable!

I really think adding the second day was the perfect decision.  I am loving it too.  Just today, I have folded two loads of laundry, done all the grocery shopping for the week (which means going to 3 stores), made all the beds, watered all the plants - inside and out, done this blog post, watched one "mommy" show (My 5 Wives, a new guilty pleasure), emptied and loaded the dishwasher, and I still have almost an hour before I have to leave to pick them up.  On Wednesday I am going for a run right after I drop them off and I am soooo looking forward to that!

Caroline is doing great in school.  She loves playing with her friends and she is quickly making new friends.  As soon as she gets in the car she tells me what she did and who she played with.  It's so wonderful to know that she is happy!  I cannot believe that this is the last year that she will only go to school three days a week.  Next year she will go all 5 days!  And the year after that she will be in kindergarten!!  She is growing up way too quickly and I am not sure that I like it.  BUT, I am glad that she loves school this year.  A couple of weeks ago, she also started Cherub Choir on Wednesdays.  We have enjoyed going to the church to eat dinner and play.  I have started a class when she is in choir as well.  She has been singing her choir songs all week and it's just too cute.  I cannot wait for her first choir performance!
