checking in....

busy weekend here. If you've been following on facebook you know exactly what we've been up to. But for those non-facebookers, here's the recap:

Took the girls to the first day of soccer - and what a gong show that was. Not too impressed with what was going on.

We've signed both girls up for additional practice sessions and were told that the practice sessions were 1/2 hour before their games on Saturdays and Mondays. It even said it on the soccer associations website. So, because Kaleigh's game started at 9 we were at the soccer fields for 8:30am. Only to find out that the practices actually started at 8:15am and have a 15 min. break between the practice and the game. Makes sense but it would have been nice to have been told ahead of time. Add to this that she was the only U5 (meaning players born in 2005) kid out there for the practice, so she got lumped in with the U9/U10 boys. It didn't phase her and she still stuck it out and did the drills requested - what a little trooper. We chalked it up to first day and hope there are more kids next time!

So the practice ended and we head to where the games are suppsoed to be but the Association wants a meeting with all of the U5 parents first. They have big sign outside stating this, yet still a lot (and I mean A LOT) of the parents and kids ignored it and went to their respective fields for the games. So we end up wasting more time trying to round up all the parents and getting the meeting going. The meeting was because they actually only had 2 coaches for 8 teams. So they needed parents to step up and coach the other 6 teams. And of course Kaleigh's team was one of them. I knew one of the other parents who's kid was on the team and she wasn't going to be able to coach and I knew nobody else so I volunteered. As it turns out there was only one other set of parents there for another kid on the team, a kid who Kaleigh goes to daycare with. So it now turns out that I am the coach. We only play 3 on 3 so it won't be too hard to manage and I told the mom's that one of them has to manage the bench each game while I worry about the on field play, and they agreed (although I think it will fall to Shannon most of the time). So in the end I had 3 kids to play 3 on 3 soccer with against another team for about 35 minutes. Those kids were tired at the end of the game.

Over on shaelyn's side things went much smoother. She has a coach who seems to know what he is doing and had things organized. He even made sure to call us the night before. What was surprising was how well Shaelyn did on the field. She plays 7 on 7 and her team is made up of u9/u10 girls. So she is on the bottom end of that group. But, and I will admit I am more than a little biased, I thought she was one of the better players out there, particularly when the coach moved her from defense up to offense where she really shined with her hard work and tenacity. But again, she was running lots and was quite tired at the end. I could easily tell she was tuckering out near the end of the game.

Shaelyn's got one tough schedule. She has practices and games on Saturdays and Mondays and she will play the occassional game on Wednesday. However, she has also signed up for cross-country running at school which she does Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. So on Mondays she will go to school, run 3kms after school, then come home and go to soccer practice for 1/2 hour and then go play her soccer game for an hour. I expect Monday nights to be pretty quiet evenings around home.

For the rest of the weekend, we went up to Prince George to do some shopping and to take Shaelyn out for her report card dinner, which was a few months late. We have a tradition that when she brings home a good report card she gets to pick a place to go out to dinner at. This time she wanted to go to a restaurant in Prince George (they have a bigger selection of restaurants). And if you were looking on facebook, you saw the pic I took of her and the food she ordered - her favourite food - ribs. And she darn near ate the whole half rack she got!

The next day (today) we went and saw the Dreamworks movie "How to Train Your Dragon". We don't get many opportunities to take the girls to the movies because I hate our theatre here in Quesnel. This movie was really good and the 3d effects were really well done. All 4 of us enjoyed it, although Kaleigh had a few spots where she was a little frightened but she still enjoyed the movie.

And now we are back home and getting caught up and just relaxing a bit.
