soccer mom

It's official - I have become a . . . soccer mom [oy].

No, this does not mean I will be purchasing a mini-van or become one of those stereotypical soccer moms - though I did have the pleasure of meeting a few on the field . . .

Lucy has joined a soccer team. She was a little slow to warm up [and stayed pretty close to my side]. But by the end of the day, I was stepping further and further away and she was playing with the best of them - she stole the ball and even scored a goal!! [pretty headband and all]

It actually was lots of fun watching these little 4- and 5-year-olds, who really had no idea what was going on, kick the ball and run around the field.
