I'm a Soccer Mom!

Well, I'm officially a soccer mom! After an invitation from a friend (who's dad coaches the team), Katherine went to try it out and had a great time, so we signed her up for soccer. She plays with the Twin Oaks Christian School soccer program - they have 6 teams for 4-5 year olds, if you can believe that! She's on the blue team. She goes every Sat morning at 8:00 which is pretty early to get 3 kids out the door, but we are getting used to it and I did it this past Sat by myself since John was out of town - and I wasn't late! Anyway, we probably won't all go all the time, but it was quite fun to hang out and watch her run around.

Here she's standing to the left of the coach (in yellow)

Here she's sitting down after her ball got kicked out of the area - they were playing a game where they had to kick other people's balls out of the area and keep their own from getting kicked out. They spend the first 20 min or so doing games and skill building like that and then break out into their teams to play "games", which really equates to a mass of kids running after a ball. Actually, in her game last weekend there were a few goals scored, so that was great!

A fun activity for her to be involved in!
