My break comes to an end...

Well, not completely.. I'll still have my weekends for now, but the boys will start practice again on Monday. After winning their division championship, they were invited to the State Cup to compete for the state title in Greensboro.

Since we aren't playing baseball we go home and sometimes get bored so last night we went up to the ballfield to watch some friends play. While we were there we saw one of their soccer coaches and he says, that they have also been invited to play a tournament at the end of July in.... Wait for it..... Bermuda!!! I could totally do Bermuda this summer, even Sean thought that was pretty cool. However, it's not doable so that's just a pipedream. Oh well, if they place in the top three at the state cup, they can move on to the next step and it's in Tallahassee, FL. I'm just not feeling Florida as much as I'm feeling Bermuda.

So Sean visited the Elementary school yesterday, I can't believe he's moving into the big school now, of course it's only 4-5th grades, but it seems like such an independent step. He said it was pretty neat especially since they can get ice cream everyday at lunch if they want. But the work load looked like a lot. He said they have stacks and stacks of work to do everyday. His Daddy welcomed him to the real world.

One thing he did last night that was totally awesome was he just walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me and gave me the biggest hug. AND he told me he loves me. I didn't even ask for it. Be still my beating heart!

True Sportmanship

Sean plowed a kid down during the game. the kid goes down after being kneed in the stomach and when he gets up, My baby goes off the field to the sideline, up to the kid and tells him "He's sorry" and shakes his hand. I was so proud of his behavior, I could feel the tears welling. Dad commentates to me that he's saying, "no hard feelings buddy, but I'm going to do it again, if you get in my way again." Men, just bigger boys!

And to add insult to injury, my moment didn't last long, when I told him I was proud of him for showing good sportsmanship, My sweet baby says, "My coach told me too"

Oh well, maybe it will sink in!

Crazy Sad!

It's getting warmer, the days are longer and the schedule keeps piling up. Fortunately, the laundry is not that bad this week. Sean is playing travel soccer this spring and his first four games were at home, yeah! However, Evan had not started his games yet, so all was well on Saturdays. Now, Evan's first game is this Saturday, Sean's first travel game is this saturday and well yes, you guessed it, same time. One is at the home field and the other is one hour away. I hate missing anything my children do. I love to watch both my boys play. Evan the aggressor who loves to slide tackle, even though it's totally against the rules. Sean the big foot kicks the ball from one end of the field to the other. Each has their own style, each plays so differently that it's so amazing from my point of view, the mother's pride view. I hate that I have to miss anything they do. I know it's just a soccer game and well, I still have at least a thousand more to go, but just missing one I don't like! Oh well, I'll just put on my big girl panties and Deal!
