We are in week two of spring soccer. No more sleeping in as Cooper's game begins at 9:00 a.m. So far, he has refused to go in and play! They are down to two boys on his team and they try to not have them on the field at the same time (because they distract each other). This puts one boy on the field with the girls and last week Cooper refused to play. I was so frustrated and thought we had talked through that enough that he would play this week. Not a chance! This week he was hungry (even though we just had breakfast) and thirsty.... Mark and I have told him that he has committed to his team and we will continue to go even if he doesn't play. I must admit that I was ready to eat those words on Saturday and just call it quits for the season. And, of course, he was running all over the field as soon as the game was over. Honestly, I think he's just ready to start baseball but I'm hoping that he will come around and play these last few weeks of soccer.
Kam has started softball practice this week and it now overlaps with her soccer game. Once her game was over, we had to rush to get her to her first practice. I think she has a great team of girls and I'm so excited about it. I grew up playing softball and I'm hoping that she will love it and have as much fun with it as I did as a child. While she practiced, Mark took Cooper to join Brian and Braxton at the baseball field to work with the boys on their hitting.
After softball, I took Kam to a birthday party in Hot Springs and the boys went to Dick's to buy all their baseball equipment, etc. We all met up for dinner with my parents and brother at Chili's later that night.
I commented a few weeks ago that my family never got together anymore. We have always had dinner on a fairly regular basis but the last six months to a year have just been busy, I guess. We made up for it this weekend by eating together three days in a row. On Sunday, my mom said, "Ok, this is three days in a row. Am I going to die?" Not too funny, I know, but we were just all grateful to spend some time together again. It was a wonderful weekend with fabulous weather....even the rain on Sunday was glorious as I laid on my couch and vegged for an hour or so!
I do realize these pictures have nothing to do with soccer and sports but they are the only pics I took all weekend long. I'm going to get my camera out more this week and focus on taking everyday shots, specifically things about my kids that I want to remember. First pic is definitely going to be of Cooper eating breakfast, which is an event at our house every morning!
