Sunday Soccer

Boy, am I missing being at church! I missed last weekend because Dave had a Sunday off, and we attended church in another town. Then, I missed services this weekend because my daughter had a soccer tournament. Her team had their final two games today (Sunday), so I was with her. I wouldn't have wanted to have missed her games, but I truly miss it when I'm not able to get to service, especially when it's two weeks in a row!

Her team lost every game, but they made it into the playoffs by a coin toss. They were tied for fourth place (out of six teams), so the officials tossed a coin to see who would play, and Kari's team won the toss. Kari plays on a U9 team, and they have three players that are 9 years old and the rest are eight years old. Her team was the only U9 team that signed up for the tournament, so they were placed with the U10 girls which have ages ranging from 10 to 11, and even 12 in some cases. So, all in all, they did very well because only four goals total were scored against them in all four games. They held their own with scores of 0-0, 2-0, 1-0, 1-0. Being matched with older teams helped them to see where their weaknesses are though; that's for sure! :-)

I was rather domestic this evening (my friend, Sam, would be proud of me) as I baked four different pumpkin pies and two batches of Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins. My house smells wonderful, but I'm tired now. The kiddos are headed to bed, and I think I'll finish up so that I can join them. Good night!

Oh. YOU'RE baking the pies? Not what we heard in church today....

Let me add, for the record, that I went to the store to get the supplies. And when I said "I" was baking pies, I really meant "we." Ok, actually I meant Gena.

You're the best, babe, and the pies look fantastic. I think you're going to win!

Michelle, I'm sure Dave had good intentions when he spoke in church because when I got home he told me he was going to bake some pumpkin pies. I had already planned to make them, and since he had the community service to participate in that afternoon/evening, I took it upon myself to bake all four pies. He did help by running to the store to pick up a few things for me. Does that count? :-)

Oh, and Dave, I know you're just trying to get on my good side! :-)
