Season Of Firsts

This summer was a season of "firsts" for us. We went camping and had such a great time we decided to try it again, this time for a full week. The boys loved it, being outside playing with things they found in the forest, campfires, learning to roast marshmallows (much to the dismay of mom who doesn't like the sticky mess). Something I am constantly reminded of from others, and have gotten quite aware of is, “you’d better get used to it with 3 boys..." They all loved the beach and playing in the sand, getting sand EVERYWHERE from their hair to their tiny bum cracks. They weren't too fond of the water, but it was a cold summer and the water was freezing.

Also a first, was enrolling our oldest in soccer. He LOVED it and is quite a good player, one could argue I'm bias, but it's true. He scored 4 goals in his first game and the coach told me he was not allowed to score any more goals for the rest of that game. He's very proud of a trophy he was given, along with a team picture that they all received. He shows it to everyone who comes over and is eagerly awaiting the next season. Next summer our second wants to play as well, so having 2 boys playing next season means I will become quite the busy "soccer mom".
