Last Games of the Season, POTG

We finished up Zach's baseball and soccer seasons last Saturday.

The boys really hit the ball well in baseball and played much better in the field this season. Most importantly, we have a great group that love to play and love to play together.  Zach, Cooper and Tommy rounded out the season as the Players of the Game.

We also wrapped up an undefeated soccer season.  What fun!!  The boys worked really hard and showed great teamwork in their passing skills.  I can't wait to play again with the same team next season!!

Blanket Fort

The kids had a blast making their first blanket fort last weekend.  They slept in the fort Friday and Saturday nights and shed huge tears tonight when it came down.

Pizza Night

Lainey:  Look, I made underwear!!

Wolverine of the Game

Zach was the Wolverine of the Game today!!  The WOTG gets to bring home the team mascot until the next game.  

The uniform and venue is mixed up because we had to do the 2-sport scramble and race from soccer to baseball.  Coach Kelly gave Zach his "trophy" at the second game.

Once again, great job to Zach and the other Wolverines!!  We're having a great season!!

Weekly Updates

I'm facing technical difficulties in updating the "What's up with..." entries this week.  So, the updates are posted here instead :)

What's up with Zach?
As usual, our week is filled with sports. Zach had a soccer game last night, easily winning 21-2. The boys played great!! They played their positions and passed the ball well. Zach scored 5 goals and had at least 5 assists. We have a baseball game tomorrow evening. Go Raptors!!

Zach continues to do well with his reading and spelling. We now read 2 short books every night and his spelling test is each Friday. He earns extra points by creating 2 words with his spelling words.

Weekly spelling words:
yet
web
pen (pens, penmanship - his "extra" words)
wet
leg
hen
What's up with Lainey?
Lainey was standing near me last week when I was talking about her being a "self-made vegetarian." What a mistake!! Here is our conversation at the grocery store the next day.

Mommy: Lainey, would you like me to buy bagels for breakfast?

Lainey: No, I'm a vegetarian.
Mommy: Lainey, vegetarians don't eat meat. The do eat bagels.
Lainey: Well, I'm a vegetarian that doesn't eat bagels.

And so... we didn't buy the bagels. Silly girl!!

Go Wolverines!!

The boys are playing-up this year to 7U soccer.  Our team loves to win, but I was hoping that we'd finally lose a few games.  Winning and losing will help to balance their expectations in life and sports... but that lesson will come later, I guess.  The Wolverines won 21-2 to tonight.  I guess the win brought the devil out in Zach with this crazy smile!!

Go Wolverines!!

Zach with Cooper, his super best friend
