Fall sports are in full swing

School started and with it came a flurry of after school activity. We're on a learning curve this fall, now having two boys in both soccer and cross country.

Thursdays seem to be the crazy night of the week. Tonight the boys had their first cross country meet, followed by a scrimmage soccer game for Christian. 

First up, cross country. Christian and Connor have a lot of relatives who thrive on running (not me-I want to like to run, but I just haven't been able to), so this is in their blood. 
The field of K-2 boys gets ready. This is only about 2/3 of the field. 

Here we go!

Whew!

Here comes Christian.
I think he came in 7th overall. If we get times, I'll update.

Where's Connor?

Connor ran with such determination. Near the end, I watched him elbow out a kid who was trying to bump past him. No way was Connor going to let that happen. 

Waiting in the chute. 
Ribbons and suckers for everyone. 
After a mad dash from Lutheran High St. Charles to the Seminary to pick up Nicholas we landed at the soccer field for a scrimmage game for Christian's team. 

A whirlwind of an evening, but so, so fun to watch the boys and their teams.
