Every Saturday has felt like a race recently. How can so many people have given birth in the month of October? We've been to so many birthday parties recently! Oh, and throw in 2 soccer games each Saturday and a Halloween party last week. Saturdays have been completely eaten up.
As a result, our house and yard look the pits, and our puppy has had several accidents in her crate because she just can't last the lengths of time we've had to crate her. Poor girl. And poor me because I've gotten to clean up dog pee twice today. (The perks of having a puppy! Woot!) *sigh*
But, I'm happy to say that the soccer season ended today. That in itself is a joy because our girls have a track record of always getting placed on YMCA soccer teams that will be creamed, crushed annihilated every week. (I know we aren't supposed to keep score, but it's hard to miss that we've lost when our team only makes one goal the whole season!) And I know it may not seem that their mother is a reliable source for this kind of assurance, but I assure you it's not because of their playing. They aren't too bad, and are definitely learning and improving each season. Somehow we are always on the team with several underage kids, or several completely non-athletic kids, or something.
R was actually one of the 2 best players on her team this season. I think she was maybe one of only 2 seven-yr-olds on her 6-7 year old team. That may have had something to do with all the losses. The team really needed an aggressive 7-yr-old to take the ball down the field. The 2 best players this season (including R 7.2) were both awesome defenders.
Ok, now that I've totally rambled, I have to go get ready for tomorrow's Sunday School lesson that I'm helping to teach!
