the take off

So not only do you have to wait to catch your flight, there is a lot to do before you leave....

Last soccer season the biggest thing we did to help was get there on time and help with the soccer goals, well this year it's a WHOLE NEW GAME!!

After Thursday practice Travis and I went over to help with the fields and got wet and froze, the hot and ready pizza we got for dinner wasn't so hot and ready when we got home but I had a little more feeling in my fingers..

Friday we loaded the kids into the car, got a pizza to go with us and off the the wet soccer fields again, yep more lines to paint, while us few board members that showed up painted lines, the kids played and ate pizza, they also played soccer on our WET PAINT but they were pretty good I guess you can't ask for 5 kids to be perfect... At some point Gavin helped with the lines and so did Carley..

And yes we all went home wet and cold again, Carley had 1 dry spot on her, but did she care nope she had a blast...

Come 7 am saturday morning Coffee in hand off to the fields we go, build a few goals and the day is ready to start, for us it was 5 hours of soccer, for Gavin it was 2 back to back games, a goal and alot of RUNNING and HAVING FUN, Gavin plays on 1 team but another team needed some players so Gavin said I want to, so in he went and had a good time.

So our soccer "flight" is in air 7 more weeks of soccer and then we will land and relax for a few weeks before summer fun begins.

Take - Off

Hold on world we are preparing for take-off, so much is going on right now in the Burchard house and it feels crazy..

You know when you get to the airport and stand in the check in lane, do you notice how one minute your moving and the next your not, well that is how I am feeling, this hurry up and go and then stop, then you move to a new line and then finally you get to the gate and you just sit and wait... Patience has never been my thing, if it is not written down or verbally planned forget it I am not going there either....

This week starts a very busy time for us, SOCCER GAMES, yes I know big deal you say, well in our house it is, my Saturday mornings are now planned (YIPPEE) no more what should we do! no more sitting around looking at each other or listening to the can we do this, why can't we do this... but the waiting for Saturday's do remind me of the airport, you rush to practice, then a day off, practice, another day off, and then finally game day..

Right now I sound happy and excited about games, later on I may not but you know the way I see it right now not every flight takes you to a fun spot...
