Go Fireflies!!!

I love this picture!!! The girls have enjoyed soccer so much this season. It's the first season they have been on an all girl league. Donevan got roped into being the coach and it's hilarious watching him coach these girls. He is all into it 110%, even though soccer isn't his expertise. He's out there with his notepad with game strategy maped out and everything. I have to remind him once in a while that girls are a lot more emotional than boys and definitely not so intense.
Watching their team come up with a name was hilarious. They wanted all these really girly names that didn't sound tough at all. They finally talked Donevan into fireflies. Some of the other team names we have played this year have been the pink panthers, the purple lilacs and our personal favorite, the blue puffy clouds. LOL.
Donevan just realized the other day that he better really learn all the soccer rules and how to coach girls because he's got a lot of coaching years ahead of him. I'm proud of my girls for improving so much this year. The past few seasons they have played there hasn't really been positions or strategy. It was just a heard of kids moving around the field. This year they are playing positions and really understanding the game. I'm sad the season is coming to an end, we only have 3 more games. Go fireflies!!!

Cute picture. Too bad that the weather has been so uncooperative. Carson has been taking the indoor soccer that the YMCA is doing. It isn't the most organized, but he seems to be enjoying it.
