Soccer Update


E-man's team, now named "The Lightening"...is now 2-0. They won 3-2 on Saturday. And of course, E-man scored all 3 goals again this week. He's really enjoying it and it's so good for his self-esteem!!

After scoring his 2nd goal yesterday he came running over to me and said, "Daddy, I'm going to score THIS MANY" as he held up 3 fingers. I said that sounded good...but that it was his turn to sit out for awhile. There were about 6 or 7 minutes left before the end of the game. So when the other team scored their 2nd goal with 2 minutes left, it was a natural time for the coach to put E-man back in the game. So he ran back on the field. They were way down by their own goal when our goalie made a save and threw the ball to E-man. He gave it a huge kick (all the way to mid field!) and then he chased it down and dribbled all the way to the goal for his 3rd goal. That ended the game. He came running over to me with a huge smile!

The mother of one of the other boys said to us, "Well...he set a goal...and he did it!"

Of course, E-man was more excited to learn that he got fruit punch and spider man snacks he got after the game! He took 3 juice boxes so he could share w/ Annie and Abegail.

She was SUPER curious about the tooth fairy all day. Question after question..."Daddy, what does the tooth fairy look like? What will happen if I wake up while she's there?" Then after about the 15th question, I realized it was probably a bad idea to even mention the tooth fairy. By 8:30 last night, EVERY child was scared to go to bed because they were terrified of the tooth fairy creeping into their room while they were sleeping!! Abegail put the tooth under her pillow and then refused to sleep in her bed. She wanted to sleep on the floor...and then so did the other two. An hour and a half later, I walked into their room and A & E were asleep in E-Man's bed with the blanket pulled up over their heads. And Annie had sneaked away to HER bed. I asked Abegail this morning if the tooth fairy came. She said...

Today is Abegail's first day of school !!! And like our parents did for us...we made the kids pose for pictures! Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture in focus until the bus arrived. Oh well, Annie was picking her nose anyway. Abegail got onto the bus like a real pro!! She was soooo excited! As you can see...Annie and E-Man were skeptical. Frankly, E-Man was quite concerned.
