Learning to be a Soccer Mom

My life as a soccer mom has just begun...and I love it!  I'm that mom on the sidelines yelling and cheering the whole time...Go CHARGERS!  But, I'm not alone.  It's fun to see the other parents excited about the game and watching every second.  These games are nail-biters!  We'll be chatting on the sidelines, but the second the kids start heading for what could be...might just be...please, please let it be a goal...Well, all conversation comes to a halt so that we can cheer them on.  And, as has unfortunately been the case, the Chargers haven't had many goals this season.  2 to be exact.  The first goal was scored by MY baby(!!) during the first game.  Goal number two came today thanks to the tenacity and swiftness of Sal--this kid knows how to move the ball.

#5, that's my boy!




Get in there Christian!

This was the beginning of a good drive by #5


GO!!! You've almost got it!

 
Keep going!  But it wasn't meant to be.



The kids from Holy Redeemer are used to winning.  Christian does not like to lose. (this is a photo you need to enlarge to see the expressions on the Holy Redeemer kids)


 What about Connor?  He started the game off with a hot dog, then found some friends and headed to the playground.  His day on the soccer field will be here very soon.












Now, we're home, the boys were so tired they went down for naps without a fuss.  Soccer Saturdays are good.
