Pink Panthers Soccer

It is spring time and that means soccer season is in full force. Maycee loves soccer. Maddie played for several seasons, but she strongly disliked it. :) Maycee is very excited that it is finally her turn to play after 6 seasons of sitting on the sidelines watching.

She is very tough. She has already bonked heads with another player which left a lump on her forehead and was hit in square in the face with the ball when it was kicked and didn't stop playing either time. It is amazing how tough she is.

More Soccer

Maycee had another soccer game on Saturday. It was the first game that the weather was actually nice. I was really hoping she would score another goal since I missed the last one, but she didn't. She did a great job though. She was really focused the first quarter and came very, very close to scoring. By the third quarter, though, she wasn't paying attention. She was much more concerned about what Maddie was doing then playing soccer. Her attention span isn't quite that long yet.

These pictures came out much better than the ones from the other games. Probably because I got up and moved around close to where she was instead of staying in my chair bundled up with a blanket trying to stay warm and get pictures at the same time. :) These were both in the first quarter of the game!

Soccer

Maycee is playing soccer. Her team is called the Pink Ponies. She really seems to like it. No picking grass or talking to her friends on the field like Maddie :-)


Her first game was Saturday Morning. It was COLD! If I remember correctly it was 36 degrees and 15 mile per hour winds, but she didn't really complain.

GO PINK PONIES!

Ready for the first kickoff



It's so cold. We should have brought her some gloves.

Her team lost, big time. They only scored 2 goals. Maycee didn't score any, but she tried hard.

Monday, she had another game. She played even better than the first. She came soooo close to scoring 3 different times. She kicked the ball and it bounced off the goal post twice. She really wanted to score. Maybe this Saturday!

Daddy Daughter Dance Round 2

Friday started with Maddie's Valentines party at school. I could do a whole post on uninvolved, irresponsible parents, but I will spare you. The kids had a great time. Maddie pulled up a chair for Maycee and she got to join in the fun.


The neighborhood kids. Aren't they cute?

Getting her hair done

Maycee at soccer practice. Doesn't she look silly? We had to leave straight from school to get Maddie's hair done and straight from there for soccer practice. I forgot clothes for Maycee. Oops. At least she had leggings under that skirt.



Maddie and her Daddy, She looked so pretty and grown up!

Don't they look cute?

The Daddy's and the Girl's

Maddie, Elli and Sofia

I don't have any pictures from the actual dance. Guy won't take my camera because it won't fit in his pocket and it's too much trouble to carry around, but they said they had a good time. Guy said Maddie was dancing the whole time. It was a little different than the dance that he has taken her to before though because this time she had a big group of friends to hang out with. She had all these girls, plus Kara and some girls from her class.

A Lazy Weekend

After Halloween night, we didn't do much else this weekend.

The girls had a football game to cheer at on Saturday and Maddie had a soccer game in the afternoon.

Believe it or not a mother actually showed up to this game drunk. Unbelievable, it was horrible. She wasn't just a little drunk, she was stumbling around with make-up smeared on her face humiliating her child. I was embarrassed to be on the same team as her as well as embarrassed for her. The only positive is that she hadn't driven herself. Why on earth the sober person who brought her let her humiliate herself like that I will never understand. She said her daughter was tired because they had been out late at a Halloween party. It was 9am in the morning!!!! Lady I think everyone is already acutely aware that you were out partying last night. I felt so bad for the little girl. It was so sad. Someone called her grandmother to come and pick her up.

Anyway, here is the cheerleading squad with their football team. Don't they all look enthused to be taking a picture together. The boys were all hollering that the girls stunk. HaHa!

Maddie with her friend from her class at school.

The team with their coaches. We only have one more game, unless we win on Saturday. It is the first playoff game. Yeah, I said the other day that they had only won one game, but everyone goes to the playoffs, there are only 3 teams. I'm not counting on advancing to the next game.

On Sunday, Guy went fishing so I took the girls to our new McDonald's for lunch and to play and then we came home to paint. These girls love art. They will draw, color, paint or anything else art related for hours.

Maddie with her completed project.

They painted in the front yard so that I didn't have a huge mess to clean up. The weather was beautiful this weekend.

Maycee with her project. She was mad when I made them put up the paint. She said she wasn't finished with hers even though as you can see she had covered every single inch of the paper with paint.

Camping Was Fun...But There Is Nothing Like a Hot Bath at Home

We went camping this weekend. It was only the third or fourth time we used the camper.

The weather was very nice. It was definately Fall weather. We went up on Friday afternoon and enjoyed a nice fire to keep us warm. Maddie thought she could get the fire started with two sticks. When asked where she learned that, she looked at us crazy and said "on TV" with a little attitude.

The girls explored the nearby woods looking for bears. After a few minutes of bear talk Addison decided to stay out of the woods. Maddie and Maycee kept on their bear hunt and eventually found one. (Adam hiding in the woods with a garbage bag over his head.) Below is the result of their discovery.

We also rode bikes, played at the park, rode in the boat, played playdough, read the Twilight Series & learned that skunks don't respond to "get".

Addison practicing using the potty with extreme safety measures.

Saturday night by the fire Maddie and Maycee taught us the Tooty Tot. It goes something like...
Thumbs up,
elbows back,
feet apart,
knees together,
bottoms up,
eyes shut,
tongues out
and then with your tongue out you sing
the tooty tot, the tooty tot, the tooty ta-ta.

Anyway this is evidently a song they both learned at school...different schools. I would like to see the teachers doing it? I never did get a very clear answer for when they do this at school, but it's pretty funny. And it makes for some very funny pictures.

Saturday morning we had to get up early to go to their football game and Maddie's soccer game.

Saturday afternoon we took the girls to the park to enjoy their lollipops from Maycee's carnival birthday party and snap some pictures.
