First day of soccer

Olivia and her ball...so proud:)Listening to her coach
Had to get a shot of her shin guards
Getting ready to kick the ball to her partner
Sleeping at 7:15 pm (with her empty snack cup next to her)
Olivia did pretty good her first night at soccer. She listened well and did some good kicking! She was kinda quiet and at one of the water breaks I asked her what was wrong and she said "I'm tired". It was hot and there wasn't much breeze and NO shade! We left there pretty hot and sweaty...Olivia with rosey red cheeks and mom with a black eye! No, I didn't get in a fight on the sidelines (wouldn't that have been funny on the first night?!). Paige was throwing a tantrum in the car as we were leaving (she didn't want me to buckle her in and we were running late). She was so mad, she decided to chuck her cell phone at me! It hit me right in the eye! I don't think I have cried (sobbed) that hard in a very long time...it hurt bad! As I was driving by my friends house (crying still), she rescued me and took Paige for an hour...so I could pull myself together and be the soccer mom I needed to be for Olivia:)

PS Thank you, M, for the Lightning McQueen ice pack:) I need to get me one of those!!

How fun that the kids are old enough to participate in group activities like this!

I agree that would be funny if you got in a fight on the sidelines:) Olivia looks so cute listening to the coach with her hands on her hips!

Sorry, Julie, but Olivia is the one holding her soccer ball & her nose (I think she has alergies).
