Soccer, Saturation and Spoon

Yes, friends and neighbors, It was yet another soccer Saturday. Three games, three times for the day to go downhill. The out of town family came to sample a sunny soccer day and they sure got one. The boy's team just played each other since the other team did not show up. G's team won handily. She scored three goals and saved several in the goal. S had her first game back since having the crazy allergic reaction day. It was a tough game. They won, but it did not turn out as she hoped. Being the perfectionist that she is, she has a horrible time not beating herself up when she doesn't reach the level she has set for herself. It was a rough afternoon, but she spoke to her coach and he pepped her up a bit. Upon our return, we discovered the other kids out in the yard with a hose and water guns. It was hot enough that it worked out okay. Soaked to the bone and exhausted, they ran and screamed until we told them it was time to get cleaned up for dinner. Soaked kids, towels and clothes, showered and clean and ready to eat. They were almost too tired to eat, but they powered through. They got home, pj'ed up and started reading our favorite book, "Spoon". We have little household spoons and utensils to reenact the book. My niece enjoyed this process and requested a fourth reading before the boy finally conked out in my lap. All in all a good day when they play themselves into exhaustion. We are currently introducing my family to Duck Dynasty. I think it is a hit already. More converts. Night all....
