Soccer Season Coming to an END

So Saturday was the kids last day of soccer and they were both so bummed. I think they both felt the pressure of the last game.....last chance to score....last chance to do awesome and kick butt! They both did super good. First of all the weather was so nice. It was not raining, it was not cloudy and it was not windy. It was actually hot. I had to take my sweater off and my feet were hot in my shoes and we all got a little sunburned. So it was the nicest game to watch.
Cade did awesome. He did not score any goals, but he told us he "almost scored" 4 goals. And he also plays defense pretty good. He thinks it is his responsibility to block the goal and be the "kinda goalie." (Cade's league does not have actual goalies.) So he did block a few awesome "almost goals" from the other team. And he doesn't know or maybe he just doesn't care (which I love about him), is that in trying to block a goal from the other team, he made a point for the other team. It is so awesome that he doesn't care. Corey would be bawling and so embarrassed. I think the other team won by 1 point. All the parents lost track. So I am sad the season is over, but so excited that Cade ended up loving soccer because he was scared in the beginning. And he is excited for next year.
Corey also did awesome, although she will tell you that it was her worst game or that she did the worst on the team. They played a team that was very evenly matched, so the ball was back and forth the whole game. The first period, Corey did get a cleat to the knee and her shoe came off, so she was tramatized for awhile. But the rest of the game she did pretty good. Not her best game, but still she did awesome. But of course, because she is so hard on herself and hates to lose (2-1), she was sad at the end of the game and in tears. I told her to quit being a baby and go enjoy the last celebration with her team. She is sad the season is over and can't wait till next year. She just cannot get enough of soccer.
The kids both scored 1 goal this season, which is good enough for Cade, but not good enough for Corey. She thinks that if she does not score, it was a crappy game for her. So competitive! I think being that competitive can be a little dangerous sometimes. Sad the season is over, but my kids are going to try t-ball and coach pitch for the first time next month. Excited to see that. Cade is a little nervous and Corey just has her competitive game face on and she's ready!
