Just Cuz My Kid Plays Soccer Does NOT Make Me a Soccer Mom

Finn + First Childhood Organized Activity = Lil' Kickers

Hyde Park Neighborhood Center has this sweet class for all age groups called Lil' Kickers!
A GREAT opportunity for Finnegan to learn the golden rules of sharing, coordination and how to rock a uniform.
ALSO it's going to be a great way to beat the cabin fever for Nick...get them out doing something, help break up the days. I got to tag along on Saturday morning. The kids were adorable. Some older some younger. Which I quickly realized does not mean a thing. One of the younger kids was hella quick...another super good at kicking...Finn likes to throw the balls and was scared of the parachute. He loved the bubbles....who knew there were bubbles in soccer? And he LOVED the horse stamps he got on his hands at the end of class.

(okay...so for some reason tonight Blogger is being a BQ#(*#%&, so the photos are not in any great and or particular order) OH WELL.

The SECOND and much longer part of my day on Saturday was spent in a freezing cold shed in the middle of a corn field IL to cheer my dear hubby on at a Strongman Competition.
There I saw a rhinestone bedazzled John Deere logo on a baseball cap. yes.....
Nick won! And you guessed it!

And while I am going to PRETEND that it doesn't bother me that my pictures are all screwed up...here is one for emily...it DOES bother me. I have been trying to fix them for 45 FRICKIN minutes and they are still jacked. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
SCREW YOU BLOGGER!?!?!?!??!?!

How was that em?

Tell your hubby congrats and keep up the great work. Didn't know he was into swords, cool pix. Do you have your soccer ball sticker on the back window of your vehicle yet? You know that sticker is very powerful. It will allow you to drive aimlessly about the road while yakking on the cell phone, feeding Finn nourishing cookies from McDonalds (LOL), all the while reading to him, programming the GPS for the next Starbucks, putting on some makeup, and never once looking at the road. All hale the soccer mom.

When Finn turns David Beckham (sp?) you can all thank Greta for the kicking lessons! he is waaay too cute in that little uniform. I believe em and I played soccer at one point but I only found kicking other people in the shins the fun part! Hopefully finn has more of an attention span!
