The Lemon Drops

I finally decided on my Fall sport. I chose soccer over swimming (temporarily, anyway) and even dance. I chose soccer once I figured out I can wear a pleated skirt instead of those HUGE shorts that go down past my knees. Not a pretty look.

I love my team, the Lemon Drops, because we get to wear hair bands that look like lemon slices! One thing I found out is that you sure run a lot in soccer. I kept asking momma during water breaks how much longer we had to play.

Here's the video:


Despite feeling hot and tired after our game I had just enough energy to eat at Fosters Freeze. I don’t know if we won or not because I wasn’t really paying much attention, but I am excited to play again. My jersey is number 9, just like Daddy!

Shampoo Shelly

This week was my last swim lesson with "Shampoo" Shelly. Daddy gave her that nickname because all we've ever seen of her is head and shoulders. Now I have Jean as my instructor although I'm not sure what her nickname should be. We're working on it.



Also, I had a scary moment in the pool last week. I always play around by the shallow end steps before my lesson. But I got into the deep end by mistake. I frantically kicked and paddled back to the steps until I could touch again. Momma nearly had to jump into the pool wearing her work clothes before I finally raised my head out of the water and gasped a huge breath. We both then gasped a huge sigh of relief before I explained to her, "I can't breathe under water!"
