Our Week

What a week it's been!  Monday night the 4 of us went out to dinner to celebrate Mike's birthday.  His actual birthday was Tuesday, but Owen has soccer on Tuesdays so we celebrated a day early.  Tuesday was Owen's first soccer game.  They have only had two practices because they got a late start to the season, but I guess when you're four and five years old it doesn't really matter much.

Owen has grown up so much since last Spring when he played soccer for the YMCA (and he cried the first few practices).  He has a HUGE smile on his face the entire time he's on the field and is having a blast playing soccer.  Most of his teammates go to his daycare which makes it even more fun!

I have to say it's almost as much fun for the parents too.  We laugh at the silly things they do while on the field.

Mike and I were surprised at how well all the kids played.  They spread out and the game was very fast paced.  Definitely not boring to watch.  Plus, the players are the cutest darn things I've seen in a while.  They still don't quite get the object of the game and now and then they will steal the ball from their own teammates :)

Adam entertains himself by playing with Ben, eating tons of snacks, running onto the field when we are not watching, visiting and saying "hi" to all the spectators, and eating grass.

Owen did great at his game and scored some goals.  A funny thing that happened... when his team was in a huddle, the two coaches told them they had to come up with a team name.  Owen said, "How about the Owen Reager team?"  HAHAHAHA!

The rest of the week went a bit downhill (at least for Mike it did).  Wednesday he went to the dentist to get a cavity filled and later was in horrible pain and needed an emergency root canal.  He was also badly bitten by an emotional support student.

This weekend has turned out to be a good one though!  Tonight we celebrated Papa's 60th birthday and tomorrow afternoon we're going to Oktoberfest!
