Today was the first game day of the kids' soccer season. They both had games at 1:30, but unfortunately, the rest of the season game times don't match up quite so nicely (example: next week we've got an 8:30 AM and a 1:00 PM). So until mid-May, we will be spending most of every Saturday preparing for soccer and playing soccer. The kids love it though. I enjoy watching them improve with every game. They've got an enormous amount of team pride. Nana surprised us today by showing up to watch the games. She brought kites for the kids because the weather has been so windy. We'll try to find a field tomorrow to try them out.
After the games we headed down to San Antonio to see the Ontiveros family. Cesar turned 30 so they had a celebration at a Pappasito's. It is always good to see friends who you have known more than 10 years.
We've been working on 'sight words' with Evelyn. She can pretty much sound out most words and is reading very well. Her sight word list for this week had the word "but" on it. She was concentrating on her list and going through her words in a very orderly fashion when all of a sudden she gasped and came over to me. She whispered "Mom...my teacher should not have put the word 'but' on this list." It took me a second until I realized she thought it was the rear end version of butt. I told her how to spell that kind of butt and she seemed relieved that her teacher hadn't committed a breach of modesty.
