Mia and Chloe have been taking gymnastics for awhile and they enjoy it very much, but I have really wanted them to try soccer so they can have the experience of being a part of a team sport. Somehow I couldn't seem to get my ducks in a row to get them signed up before any of the deadlines (spring sign-up deadlines were in January???). Then we got a little card in the mail about Lil' Kickers soccer. They were having an open house with a free class and if the kids liked it we could sign up then and there. Sounded perfect to me!
When I talked to the girls about it, Mia was excited (she wants to do any sport where she may get a trophy at the end) and Chloe did not want to do it at all (which is pretty typical...if it were up to her, she wouldn't do anything but hang out at home with Mommy...she always has fun when she does her sports, though). I was hoping that Chloe would change her mind as the date got closer.
Well, that morning, neither girl wanted to do it. Tears everywhere...ahhhh, the joys of raising hormonal daughters! Finally, Kevin said that it was a beautiful day and so we were all going and if they didn't like it, we'd just pack up and go home, no big deal. So, off we went...
They. had. a. ball. (excuse the pun)
So, we signed them up! Yay!
Here are some pics from their first practice in uniform!

Don't forget about me!
