Soccer - The Sharks Attack


Liam is now in his third season of Soccer and he loves it. He has a much better attitude about staying with it this season and is excited to play however he is still not a guy who loves to play when it is 95 degrees out. The first week they did great - I have a riddle for you on the scoring of that game- lets see who can figure it out first - you can have the bragging rights:

We scored more goals but the other team ended up with more points!

Hehe - my sad humor strikes again.

We missed our second week because of the Hurricane that did not hit our area but everyone thought we would get bad winds and rain - got neither but it did offer a nice weekend off.

Last week we played again and had a great time - while the kids looked exhausted and had very red cheeks at the end of the game it was still fun. Liam did not "get into it" as much because he said he was hot - I can understand - black shirts make it a little tough to be cool while playing. You will see from the pictures the kids picked the name the "Sharks" and it kinda fits. I think the Ninja's is more appropriate as they are all dressed in total black - with the exception of one of our sweet girls that is sporting the Pink soccer cleats - too cool if I do say so myself! Anyway - Liam has defnately improved and believe it or not I am actually able to watch some of the games this season becasue Noah is staying off the field and finding ways to entertain himself without getting into too much trouble.

Oh - funny story (kinda) First game - first kickoff - Liam is on the receiving end of a ball straight to the left side of the face. He was so stunned he just stood there and then waited for the croud to gasp and then started crying - he was ok after a few minutes and got right back in there - but man - what a way to start- a header right to the face. He was tough and played the rest of the game as Coach Josh asked! By the way - we have a wonderful group of friends and parents on the team and that is just bonus! Go SHARKS!!!!
