It was beautiful even with the yellowish green coating of pollen. The weathermen tell us we are only a week ahead in the pollen schedule compared to last year - but it seems so early. It must be due to the heat we already have this season.
The day started out with Joshua getting pictures with baseball team. Matthew got up and picked him up at Grandma and Papa Jack's. All 3 kids spent the night last night. Pictures were at 8:30 a.m. Then his game was at 9:30. I did stay home for his game this morning. I am told he batted well and even made a play at 2nd base when he was outfield. Sounds like all his coaches were very supportive at how well he played.
Matthew then picked up Jacob and Layne (who slept in at Grandma's while Joshua had his game) and came home for a break before Layne's soccer game at 1:00 p.m.
Soccer this season is a bit different. Even though we are playing through our church, we have no soccer fields at our church. Construction is ongoing with our new sanctuary and we will not have soccer fields again until the Fall. So we are practicing at Seven Oaks neighborhood field and playing at Medlock Bridge neighborhood field. The fields aren't as good, but we will survive.
Layne had a good game. She doesn't like the heat and was tired quickly in to the first half. Their whole team did well. She got to take a penalty kick and made a goal. She got to take a goal kick and was soooo close to making a goal but it is different when you have a line of opposing team players in front of you - but she kicked it over them - it just went a bit outside of the goal. We all thought she might have made it at first.
Looking at the picture you wouldn't guess how much Coach Dad tells Layne to bend her knees "you aren't a statue Layne!".
Jacob's version of watching a soccer game:
They had a nice playground at the Medlock Bridge Subdivision where Layne had her soccer game. The boys spent quite a bit of time during the game here.
Joshua has worn his baseball uniform all day. He is even sleeping in his jersey for bed!
Notice that even when playing on a playground, Jacob still has his Kindle Fire with me.
They did play together for a bit on the playground, though.
