when soccer games go bad...

winter fox getting a jump start on holiday cards.

the pictures of brandon here are from his 1st soccer game 2 weeks ago. it was a weird day.....hailed and heavy rain and then sunshine later on just in time for brandon's game. he looks pretty clean now.......after some action on the field, we had muddy boys!





the ball ended up in a puddle of mud and no one wanted to get the ball---except MY boy! that's right, #9! love the look on the little boy's face on the other team in red.



ok, so this is when soccer games go bad. last saturday's game, bryan was ready to go.


taking the ball down to their goal


getting lots of actionstarting to slow down........





attention span of 4 year olds.....




see where the action is? bryan is not interested.




finally out of gas. he had an off day. he cried soon after this picture and said his tummy hurt. as we were leaving the field, we passed by the playground and asked if he could go play. tummy problems all better all of the sudden!




so, what are your little ones going to be for halloween? this year, i am putting together brandon's costume. he wants to be ash from pokemon. i pretty much have the whole outfit. just ordered the hat from ebay. he can hardly wait for halloween this year! bryan on the other hand, wants to be this. i am trying very hard to talk him outta this one!



a monster card to put you in the halloween mood.

Ooh I love your little fox card and the Halloween monsters are adorable.! I had the same experience with Elisia that you had with Bryan. She and another kid chased each other around the field during the soccer game.

Love your LF card, Ivy! Lots of details and text! Beautiful job you did! I remember those soccer practices....Often I was the one that was MUCH more enthusiastic than the player! When the boy ran out of steam, there's nothing you can do. I had to laugh at the Halloween costumes!! Good luck on the Pokeman (didn't know they are still in fashion/hot!)!

So fun to see all the photos of the boys playing soccer, Ivy! Love both cards too! And OF COURSE he wants to be Pickachu if his brother is going to be Ash! So cute! :)

Can't wait to see pics if the boys in their costumes...and you should totally give in to Bryan's request to be Pikachu for Halloween!

I'm loving the continuing soccer saga...tell Bryan that all soccer stars have off days. How wonderful that Brandon isn't afraid of a little mud, loved that photo!
