I used to love soccer on Saturdays. It was a great time to hang out as a family. But now that Ryan is playing football, Saturdays feel more like a rush around and do nothing. Yesterday, Jeff had Ryan and Matthew at the football game. I had Adam and Evan at the soccer fields. Their games overlapped but I thought I'd get to see the beginning and end of Adam's game (Evan's team plays much shorter quarters). Instead, the game started late and I had to leave before it started to take Evan down the hill to his field. Evan's coach was late so we were missing Adam's game to wait around on the coach. Evan's game finally started and I watched the whole game... by myself, with no one to appreciate my soccer commentary. Then we rushed back up the hill to see the last 30 seconds of Adam's game. :( Poor Adam had no one to cheer him for the entire game. :( He said he played forward and mid-fielder... two new positions for a kid that usually plays defense! And I missed it. :(
Saturday evening, Jeff took the older two boys to a Marshall game. They lost miserably and Ryan has not stopped griping since he got home!! While they were gone, I took Evan and Matthew to play putt-putt. Then we got Chick-Fil-A for dinner and headed home to play playstation.
Sunday afternoon was spent correcting the mistakes we made while building an outdoor play set for the boys. We made the tower deck too high so we decided to lower it. This is after we already had the floor, rails, and slide in place. :oO It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be but it did take the whole afternoon. Adam and Ryan were supposed to be helping us but they're really not.much.help.
But now the weekend is about over and I need to start getting ready for s-c-h-o-o-l tomorrow. After a two week break, that should be fun!

Your Saturdays sound nuts!
I thought that deck was a little high. We watched Josh play soccer tonight. What a great game. His team is really great, they play like as a team, like pros! Josh got 2 goals. We all sat and watched it as a family. The guy next to us kept saying Josh was "awesome" "look at those feet" "how long has he been playing?" I'm not bragging here, just telling you what HE said. What a great game.
