soc-who?

a month ago avery asked if she could sign up to play soccer this year....adilyn's response...

"sock - who....who are you going to sock sissy?"

i hurriedly explained to her that it was a game and of course the next words out of her mouth were "i wanna sock her too mommy".....soooooo i signed both girls up for soccer....

avery has yet to start....her first practice is next week...adilyn started this week and OH MY GOODNESS....if you want/need a good laugh my suggestion to you is to watch a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds run around on the field for an hour.....it is roll on the ground funny...even avery didn't get bored watching!!

a little side note...i was very upset with myself for not checking the charge on my camera battery...i get to the field and after the first ten minutes the camera decided it needed a nap...boooooooooooooooo!!

so we start with some sit-ups....she wasn't too enthused about these...

can you see the enthusiasm in her face about the sit-ups...i don't blame her....that's how i look when my gym nazi christina told me to come up with a new ab routine....i think the face below is the exact face i gave her!!!

on to running in place....this seemed to be more her cup of tea...after all, she HAD to run up and down the isles of target with her cleats on to prove to me that they make her go "supa fast"

then we move onto every body's favorite....jumping jacks....or more like jump up and down...wave your hands in the air and then throw in a few claps for good measure....

warm-up is over...team stands in a circle and discuss what is next on the agenda........(please make a note that adilyn has the same problem her mamma does....poor girl is always having to hike up her pants....not sure why...we both have plenty of junk in our trunks but the pants just do not seem to stay where they are supposed to)

SNACK TIME....and they all come running....all 5 of them!!!! 4 little boys just as cute as can be and my baby girl....the boys on the team already love her...this one...i tell you she is going to have every male around her wrapped around her little finger....she is trouble i tell you!!

just look at those sweet sweet little shin guards...and the cleats...cutest things EVER....i mean come on....white and pink soccer socks....white and pink shin guards....black super little, super cute cleats with pink trim....the only thing that could possibly be better than this if they were trimmed in purple!!!!!!!!!!

boy was she ever ready for her break...and this was just after 15 minutes of warm-up..in her defense it was hot with no breeze...i am looking forward to the cooler days...oh how i am longing for those cooler days!!!

i tell you...that coach....a daddy of one of the little boys on the team and also a solider....he deserves some type of award for taking on coaching 3 and 4 year olds....i tell you...it's like herding a bunch of bouncing tiggers....they are all bouncing in different directions all at the same time...if it were me i would probably have a flask of something hidden in the cooler just to get through an hour practice....hysterical i tell you!!!

notice the pose....this was how she stood when she wasn't kicking the ball...when she wasn't kicking the ball...when she was running after the ball...when she was being the goalie....

i asked her after practice why she always had her hands on her head....her response...

"mommy...coach said i can't touch the ball...so i stuck my hands on my head to mind (remind) me not to touch it.....i don't want to get in trouble!" she is SO her mother's child!!!

and yes...those are matching pink bows she is wearing.....

everything is better when it's done with bows.....didn't you know that??!!?!?!

happy sunday friends
