PeeWee Soccer

This digital scrapbook created with Smilebox

This year Bella was finally old enough to participate in sports. She was a bit nervous and said she didn’t want to do it, but after only a few minutes on the the field she had a blast and asked. “do I have soccer, today” every morning.  She did get tired out and drink lots of water, but there was also lots of fun. Three of the boys on the team were from her 4k class, so that really helped. she made new friends with the girls..including playing ring around the rosey while they were suppose to be chasing the ball. I’m not sure she scored a goal, but she did kick the ball a lot, which is the most important part.  I hope next year she will have as much fun… and hopefully have her friend on the team!

Catch up someday

I feel like I’m falling behind on blogging yet, hopefully I’m catching up on everything else.  Monday morning we had a surprise visitor of Father Greg. Bella was excited to see him..along with Josh I think he ended up visiting for about 2 hours. The weather has gotten warm and humid so we venture outside in the early in the day and at dusk. The kids do enjoy playing in the kiddie pool and water table.

Tuesday wE decided to go strawberry picking. I wanted to make freezing jam and I knew we would be leaving for the weekend so it was a now or never sort of deal. WE got there around 8:30 am and by 9:30 , as the rain hit we were heading home. I then spent the rest of the day making freezer jam. I think I made about 24 pints…we had 36lbs of strawberries. Bella probably ate a pound on her own. I also froze some to make smoothies with or pies. 

That night we had Bella’s first soccer game. She was a big unsure of it all, but I got her to “practice” with her team. Then they divide up the kids 4 and 4, to play the other team who is also divided up the same way.

Wednesday, we went to an Organic Valley meeting at a local farmer’s farm. IT wasn’t too far  from us, but yet we were still late.  That took up half the day. Max wasn’t really a fan though. So that made it a bit tough but confirmed we were leaving as soon as lunch got done. WE came home and it was naptime. WE then enjoyed the outdoors while Josh was off round baling.

Thursday, Bella got to go the Summer Reading program at the library. She had a good time and made a dinosaur. That night we had bowling. The kids are doing suprisly well. Also thankfully the other bowlers don’t see to mind them either.
