So last night the kids fell asleep on the way home from dinner around 6:30. They've been refusing to take naps and are dead dog tired by 7 and showing signs of it well before that. They actually slept until 7:30 this morning and we had a nice easy morning at home only interrupted by charlie's screams of "tissue" to wipe his poor runny nose. From trying to do it himself his nose is chapped red and he's not a happy camper ;-( I guess it matches the sunburn that he got a few days ago when he wore a sleevless shirt and I wasn't paying attention to how strong the sun was. That's the first sunburn either of them has had ever so I felt pretty bad...
The day was great until I tried to put heather's shin guards on for soccer and that started a huge fit of not wanting to go, it hurt her leg...we got to practice and I stretched with the other kids while Heather stood behind me and refused to participate. I almost left but we went to sit on the bench and Jeff pulled up (in his full military cammo from work). After charlie kicked with him for a few minutes he got Heather to participate and they even ventured onto the field to kick the way the other kids were. then they did passing in front of the goal and a kick to the goal but she was not into it so they watched. The last half hour they were to scrimmage and Jeff played goalie and at first Heather just stood in front of him. the ball came to her and she actually kicked it. Then she took a few steps forward, and a few more, and by the end of about 15 minutes of playing she ran all the way down the the other side of the field and also did a throw in!! She was so excited when she was done and said that it was the "best soccer ever!!" She's gung ho to play in the game and wore her shin guards to the park after dinner. Yeah!!!
