Last Day & End Of The Season Soccer Party

It's hard to believe that my first born is now a graduate of the 3rd grade. Seriously! Where has the time gone?!?! Unlike most kids her age, she's sad school's out. She LOVES school. Not that summer vacation isn't fun for her but she'd rather learn more spelling words (I can make some for her if she'd like!), read a ton of books (which she will be doing through the summer library reading program I signed her up for), and socializing with all of her friends (with friends coming and going and her going and coming - I'm pretty sure she'll get in a ton of socializing! Especially with girls camp this week). So that's that. We're set. And our family road trip is just around the corner. I don't think the car ride will be that boring for them either. Snoozing, movie watching, hat knitting, page turning (ie: books!) are ALL on the list of must-do! (Lucky bums! A lot more interesting than starring at the road ahead and driving! Ahh...to be a kid again.) And that's just for the car ride. There's so much more to do on the outside of car riding but I'll save that for another day.

This year's spring soccer ended awhile ago but last night was the end of the season soccer party at a local pizza joint. The party room overflowed into the restaurant dining area (which we gladly took part of due to the lack of enjoying crowded spaces) and watched all the girls hopping around and acting giddy. Like they needed the cake!! :) It looks like we'll be having a new coach for the Fall season. We'll for sure miss the old (GREAT) coaches if they decide not to return. Aubrey is already so excited for the next season to start - just as much as she's already so excited to become a 4th grader. Wow. I still can't believe it. Just as that song goes: "Don't blink." Time sure goes by quick.

{Jocelyn waiting EVER so patiently for her cheese (and only cheese) pizza to arrive!}

{But for entertainment purposes, she was on a roll. That sitting around business was MUCH too boring! Can't see what's she's doing? Let me get a better view for you...}

{That's right people. She's learned something new. Definitely a two year old little girl!:) }

{Ahum. (clearing the throat!) On to more exciting things. Trophy time! This is Aubrey with her soccer coaches. These ladies are amazing!}

THE END!
