To start, Max had his last soccer game, and naturally I had to take as many photos as I could.
When Max was excited, he would really keep up with the big kids. And while he rarely got to kick the ball, he wasn't afraid to get close and right into the group. He just usually couldn't keep up.
But once he'd get bored he'd start to get funny. Like, he knew if he stopped running he'd be yelled at to hustle. (No, not literally yelled at, but the coaches do have to yell to be heard.) So a lot of the time we'd catch him running like this.
That's right, he's running, but he's watching his shadow, or the ground, or whatever was right over his shoulder. He literally ran without looking where he was going or where the ball/group of kids were. It was pretty entertaining to watch him try to be sneaky.
After Max's soccer game we were lucky enough to go the Children's Theatre to watch Pippi Longstocking. Yoyi (prounounced Chu-Chee) Gayle bought tickets for the kids and their mom's to join her as their Christmas presents this year. Our drive out to the theatre was horrendous, a major highway was closed, which we weren't expecting and we barely made it to the play on time. Once there and in our seats though? The kids did great and really seemed to enjoy it!
Yes, I did stop someone to take a few photos for us!
Don't mind Max's pouty face here, he was done with photos and I couldn't really be mad at him. I mean, our car ride there was way longer than we had anticipated and then he had to sit for a play. I'm just glad everything went as well as it did! Thanks Yoyi!
After the play we hurried home so we could load up the little kids and ship them off to the babysitter's house for the night. Rosie, Katie and I had to get ready for Ashley's bachelorette party! I'll share those photos and stories tomorrow. This post is long enough!
