Soccer 2008 Warp-Up

Thursday was the last evening for a very long and very great soccer season. As an U-6 coach, I was quite happy with several things:

1) I did not make a fool out of myself,
2) We had a great team which included a fantastic group of 4, 5, and 6 year old boys and girls, and
3) My co-coach knew stuff, and his sporting experiences as a child had obviously been far more positive than mine.

(Slight) Regrets:

I regret that I didn't get a chance to:
1) Transform myself into a masked, caped coaching super hero known as "Senor Footballo,"
2) Have a live mascot for our team,
3) Watch more of my older daughters U-8 games, and
4) Have a better chance to tell each of our players how very proud I was of each of them.

We made trading cards for each of our players as an extra "way to go" item and they each got a team picture and a medal.

It was a whole lot of work but it was some work with which I'm pretty pleased.

I'm Still Here!

Just a quick post- I am still living and am quite busy (surprise!). Last night of soccer is tomorrow night (Thursday).

I just completed a stint of two weeks at work serving as the acting team leader, so I'm tired and behind on my own work. That said, I enjoyed the change.

Super Mom and I were able to get away for a couple of days last weekend and got some shopping done while the girls were with my parents.

This week, Action Girl (and 7.5) is having a blast at science camp and Super Girl (age 4.5) is home. She watched the Sound of Music for the first time. She said she liked it a lot and asked here mom why the dad made the kids wear the uniforms.

Did anyone else ever wonder if Rolf survives the war?

More later,
