Soccer and graduation...whew!

We had a glorious day for the first day of Spring soccer season. I even managed to dress appropriately and not allow my children to get completely scorched in the sun. I consider this a successful day. The girls each ame away with a win and the boy's team just played each other since the other team had, as they say, "The Strep". G got injured a bit as she tangled with another player and landed with a pretty sickening thud on the ground. S clonked up her knee as she tangled with another as well. But it is all good...they both walked away although G took a bit longer.

After the games, we rushed home to wash the field off of our nasty selves and readied the house for Copper's last obedience class. This was the biggie...graduation. She had to perform several tricks and commands to Aunt Julie's approval. She passed them all. After her exam, she was presented with her diploma and a graduation cake:



The cake was made of peanut butter, banana, cream cheese and nuts. Needless to say, she inhaled it in three gulps, one from each of the children. She will now move on to the next course and we can't wait. We love Aunt Julie and her dog wisdom. I think she enjoys our family and, most importantly, Copper the escape artist. How could you not? Crazy, crazy dog.
