Summer and soccer moms

Summer is almost over.  Seriously, where did it go?  I'm not ready for school to start yet, but at least we have one more week of R & R before my kids are officially old.  We had to  hit one last Raptors game which are so much fun to go to.

 

We also had one last trip to the cabin with some cousins.

 When we first got there Rach was a little nervous about feeding the squirrels but was very excited to do it.

 Josh would try to "get" the squirrels another way......don't let grandma know.

 This is what Rach and I would do most of the time.  This girl LOVES skip-bo and we play it all the time.

 She got up to use the potty and someone jumped in and took her place.  I think he peeked at her cards.

 Before long Daisy (the squirrel) and Rach were best friends, to the point where we'd all be holding peanuts and she would run around us all to go find Rachel. 

 Rach also lost another tooth while we were there.....

 Kate tried to feed Daisy too but wasn't too sure about it....

 There's nothing better than jumping on a tramp in the middle of the forest.

 And now here's the best part.  Soccer has started again!!!  Can I just say that I LOVE being a soccer mom.  I love watching the kids and seeing how excited they get.  It is the best feeling in the world.  I hope they love it as much as I did growing up.  And this year I have 2 kids in soccer!  I know, complete bliss.  Here's Rach's uniform.  Her team name is the Tiger Leopards (don't ask) and she is loving it and doing so well.  I was voting for the name Highlighters but Tiger Leopards won out with the girls.  Still so cute....and on a side note.....why haven't the uniform companies figured out that some kids are just really skinny and YXS is still way too big?  Seriously folks.

 And then there's this boy. His first game ever this past Saturday.  He is so cute.  His team is named Lightning Flash.

 Even though he's the one on the outside of the bunch, we were just thinking he was the only one playing a position.  He may not be the most aggressive one out there but he watched the ball the whole time and had a blast.  He thinks he's pretty tough too.  I love that boy!

 We did have a fan club but Kate and Grandpa didn't even know what was going on around them.  This moment was too precious to pass up.

For the next 5 weeks our Saturdays will be full of soccer games and running from one to the other.  I can't think of a better way to spend those days.
