Busted...

Little Bug busted her first soccer ball from over use.  I had no idea that this could really happen in life.  We have about every size of soccer ball, but we have our favorites and this was one of them.  We have signed soccer balls that we don't use.  We have Garrett's soccer balls and don't worry, we have practice balls and game balls.  That way the game balls don't get used up.   We have special pumps, one in the car and one in our soccer bag so it is just the right feel to it and believe me there are no flat balls at our house. It is a science that I didn't know about.

We spend a lot of time at the soccer field.  It seams like the last year soccer has become a huge part of our life.  We have soccer practice for two hours, two to three times a week in Savannah and then games or practice on the weekends.  The hardest part for me is that you don't really get the final schedule until the week before and if you are playing in a tournament, it can change at any moment.  This is not good for someone who likes to plan.  So, we moved Bug's piano lessons to 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays to make sure we get it in. 

This is from our 1st traveling tournament to Charleston, SC for the Piggly Wiggly Tournament and the girls had to have breakfast between games.  Nothing like chocolate chip pancakes with whip cream and sweet tea between games.  I thought I was going to puke and I was not evening playing.

Over the years, you would think that I could take a decent picture of the Little Bug playing soccer but I have not been able to figure it out yet.  I have a feeling that I have a few more chances. 

Little Bug playing Keeper.

One of the things that Little Bugs' coaches do is to make sure that all the players play all of the positions.  That way they have a chance to really see what position that they like best.  Little Bug like Keeper okay but Garrett has to leave when he is watching.  For some reason yet to be determined, Garrett can't stand when she plays Keeper. I think it would be funny if that is one of the positions that she like best.  Little Bug's Favorite at this time are right wing but not left wing, sometimes we like forward and keeper.

'Til the next adventure or soccer game...
