Spring has sprung for the Foley's!

You know that spring is here when you have to tell Nathan to dig out his cleats... the ones that have been buried since October... and then hear him say, " I need new cleats!!" I tell ya, this kid thinks he needs to go up a size every single time we get school shoes and every time we start a new soccer season!! Just so you know, we play soccer spring and fall!! Anyhow, today was the first day of practice for the Blitz Football Club. Kimberly is the only girl on the team again this season. As she has grown from 11 to "almost a teenager" in a matter of months, we'll see how the over abundance of developing testosterone affects her this season! I will tell you one thing, she can hold her own on the soccer field. She once told me that she never wanted to play with just girls ever again because the are whimps. She runs her tooshie off at practice and truly loves the game!!

So... off to practice they went. Mike decided, as he does every season, that this is the season he takes advantage of the play time and gets in shape! :-) When they got home he said he was regretting running. We'll see how long it lasts. When he got home I asked, "So, how did it go?" He smiled and said, "We'll see!" Not sure how to take that answer but, we'll see I suppose. Pictures to follow as the season progresses.

Tonight we honored an odd request by Nathan for dinner. We had White Castle burgers. Yes, I know, the true name is slyders! I warned the kids and they delved in anyways. It's after 10 now and so far so good! No requests for tums or extra trips to the bathroom!! Everyone enjoyed the burgers and Mike is very happy to know that there are two more boxes of 6 burgers each in the freezer!! :-)
