Millie’s Birthday – 9/11
Millie had a fun crazy morning trying to get everyone to hurry so that she could open presents!
After school I took her and Tiago to McDonalds for lunch!!
It rained all day but she just played LOL and Barbies and Baby ALive and American Girl Dolls with her sisters and then the rain cleared for SOccer Practice!
We had Sausage Pasta and Corn on the Cobb for dinner and then we had cupcakes to celebrate the BIRTHDAY GIRL.
Millie is 6 going on 16! She is such a social kid and not afraid to talk to anyone. It’s been fun watching her figure out this kindergarten thing with so many kids in class and seeing where she fits in. She is still very controlling in our household but we are hoping that fire will take her far in life. We ended the evening with THE SPANKING TRAIN and then let Millie pick a movie to watch before bed.
Ben and I may have snuck out to the RSL game
Tommy
Millie came home from the first day of Kindergarten talking about this kid named Tommy. She still talks about him and plays with him at recess. She even worked her way into going to his house after school one day and then having him over for a little bit.
The kicker is that she changed all of her birthday plans so that Tommy could come and would have fun! She decorated with LOL stuff and had an LOL cake but she wanted everything else to be stuff the boys would like – obstacle course and treasure hunt!
Kickball Champions
Nettesheim vs Hancock, Backyard Kickball! We had a fun evening at the Hancocks. We ended up playing kickball and had all the kids involved. It was great. The best part was definitely my 2 in the park homers by kicking it inside the trampoline net! so much fun and only a few tears.
Smurfs
Benji is playing soccer again. He is the big 9th grader now and HE SCORED A GOAL in his first game! He’s got a lot of young little guys on his team this year so it’ll be a different season than the last! We headed out for celebratory ice cream but we ended up with dinner after a long day of soccer games!
Panda Power
Rose is having a fun season with lots of her same team from last year! Ellie and Gentry, Cait, Lila, Amelia, Clare, Gwen and they’ve added a few more. She got a GOAL in the first game of the season!!! and she is still the queen of shielding! and the queen of not being able to catch her breath.
Millie Plays Soccer
GO Tiger Pride!
Millie is out there with all of her friends! She is having fun so far. She loves the social and the treats but she is also getting into the game a little. No goals yet but she is in it and paying attention so it is a win.
COACHing
SO here is our set up. Ben is coaching 4 teams. Benji on Mondays 4:30-6:00, Rose on Tuesdays 4:30-5:30, Millie on Wednesdays 4:30-5:30, Ray on Thursdays 4:30-5:30. I go over with the kids and the equipment at 4:15 and get set up and Ben gets there at 4:30 to coach. It’s been hot and busy but kind of fun too. Sometimes the kids like to go to each others practices. We all like to go to Millie’s practice.
I thought I’d maybe want to coach Millie’s team BUT I’m just not feeling it. I’m kind of warn out with little kids by the afternoon and I kind of see how good Ben is at it – He is a natural and he has a million and 2 games in his back pocket to use as needed. He really is the best . Especially with these younger teams. So I am doing my part with setup and getting Cali to her practices and putting dinner on the table and letting Ben continue to ben THE COACH.
