End of the Soccer Season

On Saturday the boys had their last soccer games of the fall soccer season. Both boys also had parties with their teams to celebrate. Here are the top five highlights from the games and parties:



5. Calder actually playing (part) of his last game, chasing the ball and running along with his teammates, and, get this, even making contact with the ball. He got to do two corner kicks!

4. Milo and Calder snuggling under our picnic blanket in order to both keep warm and hide the fact that they were gorging themselves on snacks during Milo's game while Milo was "on a break" from playing.



3. Milo running over to me on the sideline, during the game mind you when he was not "taking a break," to tell me that the excessive amounts of Pirate's Booty that he scarfed down were enabling him to "keep up with Maggie," his team's star player.

2. Not one but TWO broken soccer trophies. Yes, that's right folks. They didn't last more than a day in either case. Thanks to Milo, on Saturday, Calder's trophy took an unfortunate trip through the air causing the decapitation of the little soccer player statue. And, again, thanks to Milo's general klutziness, today he dropped his trophy immediately upon receipt while trying to high-five his coaches, sending his trophy into multiple pieces. Well, then.

1. Smiles from the boys and a general sense that they'd like to play soccer again in the Spring.
