soccer snack

early game at the soccer fields.  it was our turn to bring snack so i went old school and brought whole apples and cheese (we brought juice too) because i don't like all of the junk madelyn normally gets and a friend shared an article about bringing healthy snacks to soccer since the kids are there to get a little exercise.  not a single kid on the team wanted cheese! they said that they didn't like cheese. we brought the little babybell (sp?) cheese wheels in the red wax.  i thought they would be 'fun' and madelyn was pretty excited about it.  i don't think it helped that the mom that forgot last week decided that she should bring snack this week instead.  she brought coco puff cereal bars (pre-packaged) and fruit snacks.  two weeks ago the snack was juice, cookies, graham cracker sandwiches (i.e. cookies), fruit roll-ups and fruit snacks!  what happened to sliced oranges or bananas?!  we don't let madelyn eat all of the post-game 'snacks' because it is just too much sugar.  but maybe it is just us... 

anyway, the game was a little more interesting because it was the first time with a 'real' ref.  he commented that he usually does high school games so this was a little different.  he actually called a 'tripping' penalty/foul (i don't know all of the soccer lingo).  it was also funny because there were several times where is was boys vs. girls because of the way the substitutions happened (the other team had a lot of girls).  madelyn is the tallest one on the field in this short video.  she was running at half-speed most of the game, but still smiling.  love.
