Kenneth and Evelyn are about to start another soccer season. Ken is on a new team (whose name currently eludes me) and Evelyn is returning to her previous team, "The Titans." Ken has had one practice so far; his new team seems much more organized. There are 3 coaches heavily involved in drills and the players responded well. The only problem is the practice field, which is COVERED in fire ants. Evelyn and I showed up to watch Kenneth practice in our sandals and had to constantly move our feet in some sort of ridiculous band marching pattern to avoid getting bitten. Despite our best efforts, we both got a few bites.
Evelyn has her first practice on Thursday and her coach sent out a reminder note with several important tidbits like "Comfort is directly proportional to fun" and "Don't forget your positive attitude." Apparently there was a U14 (14 yr-old) Girls team that has been disqualified from playing for a full year because their parents thought fist-fighting was a good way to solve differences of opinion. That is so unfathomable to me. This year, Rod and I bought the De-Lux Sports Chair for both of us because we were tired of either sitting on the grass or sitting in the junky Walmart chairs that are $3.99 for a reason. I am officially a soccer Mom.

The perkiest kid related slogan I've heard recently involves hand gestures. It's "Because what do we do? We do put ups (gig'em), not put downs (thumbs down)!" Without the perky voiceover, something might get lost in the translation :)
