Soccer Mom Aunt

Emma and Abby both had soccer games this morning. They play at the same park but their fields couldn't be further apart. Amy actually has to drive back and forth between their games, so I packed up the kids and headed to the field too this morning so that one of us could be at each game. This whole staging the house thing is annoying me! It took me 15 min. this morning to find our chairs to take to the game (they were buried in the crawl space) so we were late, but it was so much fun to see the girls in action.
Abby has the cutest team! And she is delightful to watch. She actually knows what she's doing, although she's not that aggressive. She did get knocked down once but jumped back up, brushed herself off and kept going. She's a great runner and got control of the ball multiple times. I was impressed with how good she is at turning the ball to get it going toward the correct goal. And she's very good at guarding the goal.
She really took the game seriously and did a great job listening to her coach....
...except for the times when she was making silly faces at McKenna. I think McKenna might have been a distraction for her :) But McKenna loved it and clapped and pointed the whole time, which Abby loved.

It's so fun to watch Abby bouncing around out there with her pony tail bobbing up and down. She seriously jumps up and down and skips around while she's playing. (She's #5)

Then Amy and I switched places and I got to Emma's game just in time to see ^this^. So I never got to see #10 play! There's always next time!
So you'll have to hop on over to Amy's blog to see some pictures of Emma playing. She should get them posted some time this weekend. Feel free to bug her about it :)
