Fall so far...

It's been a busy fall so far, and we're only about 3 weeks into the school year.  Once the kids' activities started up our schedule went haywire.  We have practices 4 nights a week!  I'm not sure why I let this happen again, but everyone seems fairly happy so far...albeit, a little confused with the weeknight schedule, and there have been a few meltdowns concerning who's going to soccer and who's going to swim.  

Cheer started up during the summer, but I didn't really take any photos until the first game.  I'm glad I did too, there's going to be quite a bit of overlap with soccer from here on out, and we might not get to the rest of the games until after they start.  "/ 

I heart cheer pics.  :)

And today was the first round of soccer games.  All three of them are on different teams...which is why our practice schedule is so crazy.  Anyway, once I got to the fields I realized I hadn't put my long lens on the camera.  *sigh*  So, no action shots. 

But I did get a buddy pic!  I'm usually terrible about getting these.

Meredith's was the last game.  So she did a lot of this and snacking on gummies.

And for how much she's claimed to want to play over the past two years, homegirl is just not that into it.  Today she cried more than she played.  She would get up the gusto to go after the ball and then bawl and fall on the ground in a huge fit when another kid would kick it away.  This is the same tactic she uses at home when she doesn't get her way.  So far I've failed at stopping it at home, so I'm not really sure what to do it about it on the soccer field.  "/  It reminded me a little of myself when I was a child with my Mom in the grocery store because it got so bad that random people were trying to talk to her and get the fits to stop.  I will never live down the grocery store stories, and Meredith will never live down this soccer fiasco!

So...here's to cloudy days and many more soccer games!
