Alex and Eva are both really good soccer players. From a young age, they just seemed to get the game. While the other kids were following the ball, they have always worked their way down the field for a pass. The most frustrating part of this was that the other kids didn't know how to pass. And oftentimes they were off-sides...not really a big deal in the younger yeasrs. Regardless, when the ball would break way from the pack, they were able to swoop in and get it. They were also able to take it down the field and shoot. They have always been goal scorers.
Now that they are little older and their teams and skills have advanced, I wasn't too sure that they'd be in the positions to continue to score. This past weekend, they both played mid-field which seems to be a good fit for them. It takes a lot of running and stamina, but they both really excel there.
I'm proud to say that both Eva and Alex scored goals for their teams this weekend!
On Saturday, we attended the annual school carnival. It was pretty much the same as last year. The kids always have fun and I always leave thinking that we definitely won't go again next year. We always end up going.
This week is Spirit Week for Grace at Incarnate. After many tears and a few screaming matches, we found an acceptable dress on Saturday for homecoming. She doesn't love it, but seriously it's one dance out of a million! She's been having all kinds of fun this week at school.
Monday was Disney Day and she went as her all-time favorite, Tinker Bell.
Tuesday was Red and Gold Day.
Today is Fake an Injury Day....still waiting for that picture. Tomorrow is Frat Day followed by Class T-Shirts on Friday.
She's pretty excited about the weekend festivities, as am I.
By the time we got to Sunday, we were all exhausted. It was cool and a little rainy so no better thing to do then have homemade soup and snuggle on the couch for some big brother.
Here's to hoping for a fast work week so we can get back to the weekend fun!
