straight from the easter egg hunt, we headed over to the soccer fields to eat some packed lunch. we might have had enough time to eat at home, but the fewer times we have to get in and out of the car, the less likely we are to be late. and we had a lovely surprise because one of madelyn's best friends was practicing before us on mason's field (we actually knew quite a few of the kids on the field from mops). ella goes to our church and her family just moved to a new house very close to us. madelyn was very happy to see her! (i was so bummed that the picture came out blurry.)
madelyn chose not to play soccer this season. i think she was a little sad not to be playing though because she wore a yellow shirt (like mason's team color today) and wanted to be on the field to 'help' daddy coach. the kindergarten league has practices the first two saturdays and then games for the rest of the season.

| monkey see, monkey do. |
it was pretty cold at the fields so maddux and i were snuggling up under a blanket together. pictures just help pass the time.
 |
| notice madelyn's "anna braids." at least that was my sales pitch for putting her hair back today since we were going to be outside in the wind for so long - her hair would have been a giant knot by the time we got home. |
 |
| manning and maddux were both trying to lay down under the top blanket to keep warm (maddux sat up right when i took the picture). |
mason seems a little more capable on the field this season. but his team is not quite as stacked as it was last season (ella's team is dramatically larger than our team and one of the other teams that was practicing with them). we did discover that one of the girls on the team is in mason's sunday school class and her mom is on the vbs committee with me. i love that we are starting to know more people!
during practice i realized that when maddux is old enough, the boys will be able to play on the same team for the next two years! that is going to make scheduling saturday mornings during soccer season SO much easier! love.

I can't believe you're still dealing with 'cold' up there. I WISH the girls would let me do something to their hair. My mom always brushed my hair, and 99% of the time it was up in a pony or part ponytail. I do not recall it being an option. but I'm picking my battles.
