Chase's Soccer

I finally got to watch Chase play soccer! His first two games we were in Prague, so I was estatic to get to watch Chase for my first game!

Chase lead the warm-ups! 

(His push-up form was actually really great, but in the shot, he was starting to get up)

Game Time!

Chase is focused. (The other CCS kids in the yellow are playing for the other team because they were short players. Rather than forfeit, we traded players every quarter. How great is that?)

His fan section

Chase may be small, but he's scrappy.

 

The Post Game Snack!

Card, no, Snack-Carrying Soccer Mom

Even though Chase's game got canceled, Stuart's first game of the season was on! (It was my first game as an official Soccer Mom.)



They stretched, ran lines, and huddled up for a prayer and a pep talk.






The whole team played well. I was so impressed with their skills!
 

They "live and die as a team." Stuart and friends celebrated for teammate's goal with the enthusiasm of world cup footballers!




When he was the goalie, Stu had two great saves. He was not afraid to get in all the feet and grab the ball.



"Mom, I can't believe we won!" Winning your first soccer game 2-0 is a wonderful feeling!

OH, yes! It's Monday! It HAS NOT been full and crazy!

We DID NOT enter the world of after school sports for the boys this week. Our first soccer practice was NOT a great success. I DID NOT think this will be fine, until we had the parent meeting to talk about games. I DID NOT completely forget that practice lead to games on the calendar as well. This week will NOT be the test of it all. Monday-C's soccer, Tuesday-S&S dance, Thursday-S's soccer...I'm NOT tired already.

I DID NOT spend this week painting while Sabrina was in school. At least her room is finished! I am NOT tired of painting things (I promise pictures soon)

I DID NOT spend a fabulous time at Jubilee this weekend for our Acts 13 meeting!!!

I HAVE NOT spent a lot of time working on a schedule for the people keeping our kids while we're in Prague. I know it's stuff I do everyday, but it doesn't seem overwhelming until I have to communicate on paper to someone else!


Speaking of Prague, I HAVE NOT been thinking about getting a kindle or iPad. I DO NOT love paper books so much that I feel a bit guilty. It doesn't really matter, because we can't afford it, but y'know, a girl can dream.

 

Have a great week!
