Hallie has been so excited about starting soccer and last Saturday opening day finally came. I was so disappointed when I found out they had scheduled me to work that day but kept my fingers crossed they would call me off but no such luck so Matt was on his own to handle everything from getting the girls ready to coaching. Matt has always really tried to do the girls hair when I am at work and he has become pretty good at it. This day was no exception he even did cute pigtails. He is definitely cut out to be a girl daddy. Here are their hairdo pics
Then it was off to the game where Matt would be coaching our team which consists of 4 little girls. They no longer have kids play co-ed so they have smaller teams and different brackets for boys and girls. The previous week before the game I had taken Hallie to pick out shin guards and she was so excited to wear them. Matt even managed to take a few pictures. The weather wasn't the greatest and started out cold and overcast. The girls play four 5 minute quarters to make up their game. They rotate having a break. During the 2nd quarter it started to rain. Gracie cried and wanted to be held the entire time so Matt held her and tried to run up and down the field and coach the kids. He said a couple of the girls on the team were fine with the rain but Hallie cried that she was wet and cold. It was a less than memorable 1st game except for the fact that Hallie also scored her 1st goal!!!! Way to go Hallie!!!
Next week we should have our uniforms. We were told the girls uniforms were white so the girls decided to be called the white ghosts. So there you have it our little girls 1st soccer game. Hopefully the beginning of her finding what she really loves to do and is good at.
