We've been practicing our soccer skills and started playing soccer with Washington County Soccer 4 year olds. It's been interesting to say the least, Daddy was pumped up until he took everyone out for an afternoon of practice. He declared that maybe he shouldn't coach them right now.... I've only laughed at the whole experience because it's definitely something that we'll be doing for the rest of their young lives. I wasn't ready for the commitment of one or two evenings a week. (only for the next 5 or 6 weeks)
Monday night was picture night and the first game. I had prior commitments so I took them up to the field house and Daddy got to experience life as a soccer mom. Hadlee (or mommy) lost her uniform so she didn't have a jersey for pictures or for the rest of the season, we lost one sock but that was a little easier to replace....the amount of extra stuff needed for each kid is crazy to this non-sporting mommy.
Hadlee and Harper are really getting into soccer. Then there is Hays.... During the middle of the soccer game Hays went up to his coach and said "Coach VanDyke I think it's about time for the Goldfish. (their snack for after the game)" Our team won 11-2!! We've got a superstar on our team that scored all but two of the goals.
Wade also made the comment about all the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins that were there cheering on their little ones. Then he said who was there cheering for our kids, just me "DAD". I'll be sure and give everyone a schedule when we're in town this weekend.
