A couple of weeks ago, the fabulous Keri at It Flickers Dimly, tagged me for a photo meme. It's the one where I'm supposed to choose the 4th picture from my 4th folder on my computer and post it. Well, this is the 4th picture from the bottom 4th folder (here's the one from the top). I know I'm changing it up a bit but I still wanted to play because I really like this picture.
It's a pic of Big pup, my 6 year old, at soccer practice. I took it back in September when the weather was perfect. None of this ice that we're having today.
Looking at this picture reminds me of how much fun soccer practices/games were. Right now, "we" just signed up for tiger cub scouts and after only 2 meetings I'm about to lose my mind. I don't like it. I'm not crazy about the discriminatory aspects of the organization. I'm really not crazy about the possibility that I'll have to serve as secretary or treasurer or leader or something like that. And if I end up getting one of those positions, I'm fully prepared to tell the internet about their secret handshake.
Right now, sitting in my lawn chair out in the sun, watching a bunch of kids kick a ball around sounds pretty good.

I really like this photo. It seems to tell a story. I am not going to write a poem about it - I will leave that to you.
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing here, so although I love it...a warm soccer day sounds pretty good.
ReplyDeleteSoccer sounds much better to me to. I dont think I will be encouraging Little One to get into Scouts.

ReplyDeleteI'm torn because my Hubby is an Eagle Scout and really enjoyed the scouts growing up but I agree I am not sure if I like some of the aspects of the scouts.
ReplyDeleteThat picture makes me long for summer. Thanks for sharing.
I laughed at your threat to revel the secret handshake!
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like fun. I'm all for letting kids be kids.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Arkansas, but here in PA, the soccer field has 2 settings: Scorching hot and arctic cold. That's it: you're either under an umbrella to prevent heat stroke or you're watching from your car because you've lost feeling in your toes. What is that.
ReplyDeleteSweet picture!!!!
ReplyDeleteI long for that weather...

ReplyDeleteI miss the sweetness of just playing to play. Just having fun. Thank goodness we have pictures to remind us.
ReplyDeleteTiger Cubs. Yep. We did that once. H ended up having to be the "leader" when our real leader got hospitalized.
ReplyDeleteIt did not go well, but we do have all the regalia cluttering up a drawer!
I can't wait until my son is old enough to play sport or participate in any activites....looks like so much fun.
