So, the 4 yr old is taking her first turn to play a sport this season and we're going with soccer. She has been so very excited about it! Her "evaluations" were this morning, and the season will start in another month or so.
A few weeks ago, we were at a friend's house who was cleaning out her garage and they came upon some cleats that were slightly used, in good condition, and most important....her size! What a blessing! you may want to exclaim right now. Well, it wasn't a blessing and you know why? Because they were solid black. In other words, they were not pink. Yes, read that sentence again--they were not feminine enough to grace her feet as she runs through grass and mud. So, last night found us at Sports Seasons purchasing pink shin guards, a pink soccer ball, and pink striped Adidas soccer "pleats" as she calls them.
Later that evening, we started thinking about her evaluations and it dawned on me that she does not own one pair of shorts as she only wears skirts & dresses! In the very bottom of her drawer, we found some really old, really small shorts, but that was it. This morning she wore some old shorts of John's to her soccer evaluation where she "kicked some little girl's butt" in the drills. (Michael's words...isn't he just capturing the non-competitive spirit of youth soccer?)
More to come-

Ellen-
So glad to get your comment on my blog! How are you? Your kids are adorable! I have bookmarked your blog to check back often and keep up with your clan.
So, you've stopped by my blog, which means you know the important things going on...3 year old, baby on the way, new mini-van! That is pretty much the excitement for now, although I have ransacked our house in an attempt to rearrange children's bedrooms in time for the big arrival...stay tuned to see how that one turns out! :)
Thanks for getting in touch! Take care and keep on blogging!
