Things Heard Around Here

Me: Kellyn, look at the horses.

Kellyn: Oh, wow!  What's the building next to them?  Is it the glue factory?

Before you worry, it was just the barn.  However, I have no idea where she heard about the glue factory.

Aric "The Avenger"

This morning at Aric's soccer game the team was announced.  We had to supply a nickname for Aric.  It took us awhile to come up with something, since we don't call Aric by anything other than "Aric".  After throwing out multiple names, Aric decided on Aric "The Avenger" Peters.  Well, actually, he thought he was Aric "The Adventure".  It took a bit for us to get him to realize he wasn't pronouncing the word correctly.  I think we have that problem fixed now.

Aric's team ran through the tent three separate times.  After the first run through they decided the parents needed to line up and give the kids high fives.  I thought I had recorded the second run through, but apparently I didn't.  I did manage to get the first and third run through.

It was cold this morning, which was a bit better than the last two games when we were sweating and miserable.  While it wasn't hot and miserable, it was early.  Kellyn was cold, tired and hungry.  She spent the game whining, giving everyone the stink eye and cuddling in my lap.

Aric played well.  He most plays defender in the back of the field.  He got in a few good kicks and was able to take a turn as goalie, which is his favorite position.   There are only three games left, and I think he will be sad when soccer season is over.
