Futbol

In honor of Emi's first goal in an actual game (thus helping her team win 2-1 against the Crocodiles) I thought I'd post a couple pictures about futbol. Soccer has become a big part of our schedule - weekly games plus weekly practices and a dad who's a bit of a soccer fanatic mean when we are not at an actual game or practice there's still a lot of soccer ring practiced in the backyard. I actually didn't get to see this week's game because Coach Papa insisted in taking her by himself so he could 'coach' from the sidelines (a definite 'no no') - guess it worked.

All pics taken on phone.



Some of our Saturday morning games have been awfully chilly.

Suiting up for practice. Shes a pro a doing this in the car - shinguards, tall socks and cleats.






Keeping these two crazies entertained during practices (I'm by myself for them) is a full-time job. Should've taken a pic of my bag of tricks - balls, books, snacks, games, Kleenex, etc. anything to keep them off the field. Fortunately there's a playground next door. Unfortunately it means I sometimes find this nut doing this...



before i can get to him. Yikes.


Last week's practice included rain and hail. Had to use the picnic blanket as an actual blanket until practice was called.
