By all accounts, last weekend's U8 Girls game was a disaster and we spent the majority of the rest of the day stressed out over it. On the flip side, this weekend was perfect. The weather was cooler, the humidity was down, the U8 Boys had fun on the fields, and the U8 Girls played so well (and with such a great ref and opposing team coach) that Jay was dancing on the sidelines and eventually asking them to work on skills other than scoring goals (so they wouldn't completely dominate the field). James and Cora both played well (and scored some goals, which they call "scores", and it thrills them!) and had a good time, and it was so nice for me to be a spectator and watch my family on and across the field (James chose to sit under the tent rather than with me during Cora's game - Kindles are easier to play in the shade and we weren't taking any chances with the girls overheating this weekend, even though fall was in the air) with smiles on their faces the entire time.
After lunch, we split up (we always have 2 cars at the fields because I come straight from my long run) to start tackling errands and cleaning (Grambot and PawPaw left California today for the cross-country trek to the Deep South). Not sure what it is about the car wash, but both kids go nuts over it. Luckily, they also help out when it comes time to vacuum up all their detritus in the backseat...
