Soccer Season Finale

B's soccer season came to an end this weekend. While he did enjoy it, he has been asking me for some time to please not to soccer again, but to do football instead. I guess none of the boys in this family are immune to Spencer Larsen Syndrome. Anyway, he really did quite well...when he put for the effort.

This last game, he actually scored 2 goals. Dave had told him that if he scored a goal, he would take him to sonic. Here he is calling Dave and tell about his big accomplishment. (Dave stayed home because it was nap time for KL.)

After the game, the team had a little end of season party at a park, Here he is playing tag with some of his teammates.
The park had a rock wall, so of course L was all over that!
CK

Katie, Emma and KL

KL really loved the swing.
Here we are at Sonic. He is holding up his 2 to represent his goal. He really has been really proud of that accomplishment and Dave has really been making him feel like it is a big deal. He keeps calling him "2 goals".

Dave also told him that since he scored 2 goals, he got to take the whole family with him and everyone would have to thank him for letting them go.
Funny story... while we were eating, D was telling us about how a stranger had been seen trying to get some kids from some nearby schools get into his car. I took this moment to try and talk to the kids to remind them what we do if someone approaches them. I looked at CK (knowing she would need the biggest reminder) and asked, "What do you do if someone comes up to you that you don't know and says, 'Come get in my car because I have some candy for you?'" She looked me straight in the eye while a sweet little smile and said, "I say 'Thank you!'"

Once we stopped laughing, we did impress upon her how dangerous that is.
