Yesterday was the first soccer games. Both teams won. Jbird's team has two ringers on it. I think we scored 8 goals and pretty sure they were all made by the same two boys. I felt bad for the other team, since in the past we were the ones getting slaughtered. I talked with the coach afterward and told her that we might need to think of an alternative for future games. Both of these boys sat out the same quarter (the 3rd) and that quarter was a really close quarter with neither team scoring. Jbird is proving to take after his brother. When B was younger his tendency was to run back to defend and Jbird is doing the same thing. It is so funny - the ball will come his direction and he will run backwards to defend if needed.

B won his game. He scored the first goal of the season. Starting with 3rd grade, they now have goalies and play off-sides. B does not yet have the off-sides down. He got called several times for it. He missed several other goals when the ball hit the post and bounced out.

A few pictures from the day.

Jbird is in the red shorts....

This is a picture B must have taken...I kind of like it....JB is in the back. (A friend suggested after seeing pictures of JB in the dentist chair that I start calling him Joe Cool...just might do it! Probably less confusing that JB and J/Jbird)

One thing I have been doing for B this school year is putting a joke in his lunchbox every day. He is at that age where he enjoys it. I think our favorite joke thus far....Why did the bacon laugh? Because the egg cracked a yolk.

Enjoy your day!
