My Busy Little Athletes

This fall, Princess continued playing volleyball and Pumpkin tried out her first team sport--soccer. They each had practice on Monday nights (which made for a pretty hectic Monday evening) and games on Saturday mornings (which was a great way to spend Saturday morning in my opinion). Drummer Boy and I usually had to divide and conquer with the practices and the games, but sometimes it worked out for the whole family to be at both games.

Pumpkin experienced her first team sport and she really enjoyed it. Her friend Anna was on the team with her, and it took Coach a few games to realize that they shouldn't be on the field at the same time. If they were both on the field, they spent more time talking and giggling to each other than playing the game. But, if Anna wasn't on the field, Pumpkin did a great job running after the ball and staying right with it. Of course, her favorite thing about soccer was getting a trophy and a medal! 

Princess continued playing volleyball this season, but was on a new team. She knew one other girl on her team at the beginning of the season, but she made several new friends. I was so impressed that she continued to enjoy the game all the way through the season (she usually gets tired of a sport after a while) and she wants to sign up again in the spring! She is getting better at her serves and is definitely getting stronger. I'm just excited she is still having fun with it! 

Now that fall sports are over, the girls want to do gymnastics for a little while, at least through the winter. Then in the spring Princess is talking about volleyball again or maybe T-ball/softball or swimming. My busy little girls!
