soccer

 Soccer started last night!  Heidi was so excited!  The uniform could not have been more ridiculous...the whole thing could have fit a ten year old.  When my mom was here she made some alterations to the shorts so they were at least wearable.  We still had to safety pin them.  We had to try a few different shin guards but we finally got them to fit in a way that she could handle...she's a little particular about how everything fits.  My big fear was that she would be so uncomfortable she wouldn't even play, which is how it was looking until about 10 minutes before the game when we got everything to work.  Hallelujah!

 Jeff is Heidi's coach so that made it super fun for her.  She has such a cute little team and one of her preschool friends is on her team.

 Caimbree spent a good majority of the game sleeping.  She woke up about halfway through and happily watched and enjoyed being outside.

 All morning Heidi has been begging to go back and play soccer again.  She cannot wait until next Wednesday!  She LOVED it! She couldn't even fall asleep last night she was so excited.  We heard her upstairs rolling around and singing until almost 9:30...yikes.  I was surprised because she was pretty exhausted.  They have a 30 minute practice followed by a 30 minute game.  After practice she said, "I'm so worn out!!"

Heidi went with Jeff to the game and I followed a few minutes after.  When Savanna saw her leave she lost it.  The whole way to park she cried, "HEIDI!!  HEIDI!!!"  She was thrilled when she realized we were all going to the same place.  Next week we will be a little more organized so we can all go together.  Savanna had fun emptying my purse and filling it back up about thirty thousand times.  Of course she found a bright blue lollipop in there I had no idea was there.  She enjoyed being outside, but I think she would have rather been on the field with Heidi.  I don't know how she will survive Heidi going to kindergarten next year.

It was such a fun night and we can't wait for next Wednesday so we can do it again.  I am so glad Heidi loves it so much.  There is nothing better than watching your kids enjoy life.
