Miracle Workers v. Transformers

Thursday was a beautiful day for Jack's soccer game. Kim is here for a visit so Jack was thrilled that there was another cheerleader just for him. I had this idea to make the kids a treat for their last game. Needless to say, i probably over did it a little and ended up spending most of the day painting water bottles. I think i might have had a high from the paint pen. Anyway, i got them finished and they were cute so i guess it was worth it. We packed all the bottles and everything else we take to the games and headed to the YMCA. Our coach was out of town this week so another dad filled in but Jack was still excited and ready to play. Eric arrived just as the game started. It started off well. Okay, by well i mean we were up by 4 in the first few minutes but all the players for both teams were staying on the field so that was good. Anyway, true to their name the Transformers.....well......transformed. One little boy decided he needed to rest so he sat down for the last 3/4ths of the game. I guess being a spectator was better than getting run over by "the tank" (had to Mom since this is my last soccer blog). Anyway, another little boy was running wild just not on the field. He did a little kung fu fighting on the side. It was a fun to watch since the game was the usual, we scored every other minute. Finally, the last little boy on the other team got really tired of our team scoring and would throw a temper tantrum every time we scored (well, mostly the tank did the scoring). I figured i had enough pictures of Jack so i started taking pictures of the cry baby. Finally, the other team had whittled away to two little girls. Sad but true. The score ended up around 15ish to 2 (if you count the goal we scored in their net). 5 out of 6 isn't bad for the first season of soccer. Jack has shown progress. He still follows the other kids instead of the ball on the ground. He tries. He also runs until his "head sweats". That is how he knows he is doing a good job. Enjoy the last set of soccer pictures.
