McComb Family

Today we were off to another soccer game. Briana is playing this year on an Under-6 team (she missed the cut-off by a few weeks!), so every Saturday we are now in Georgetown for the big weekly game. It's actually pretty cute. They play 3 on 3 so there's not just one big blob running around the field. They play on a little field and then divide that in half so that there are two games going on at once. With 8 kids on her team, there's one sub per side. Or when everyone's sick, like today, there are no subs and kids from the other team flip their shirts inside out to help out and make it more fun!! You can tell how highly competitive it is!!!! In fact, often the other team helps out by scoring a goal for you. Okay, so they get a little confused and forgot which way to kick the ball!

One of the jobs of the team moms (I'm sharing this job with another mom) is to make the team banner. So I was the unartistic half of that endeavor. Next I'll be driving a mini-van (uh, yeah.....I don't think so!!!).

We're still working on "Soccer is fun even if you don't win", but she's still not too sure about that concept. She thinks it's much more fun when her teaming is scoring all the goals. We'll keep reminding her of that!! Luckily right now I only have one game per Saturday. Wait until Adam is old enough. Oh the fun is just beginning!!!!
