Simply Funny

Sydney and Emma played their first soccer game. Larry and I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. We were amazed at how good the girls were. (ok, we weren't that shocked, I mean they have our genes don't they?) Before the game I told each girl that if they tried hard, never gave up and didn't cry (yes...you have to mention that to girls) we would give them a dollar!! I love bribery. A parental tool that's under-used (hint, hint mom).
Now normally I would offer a dollar for every goal that was made. But I didn't want to get there hopes up. And especially after watching them at practice I wasn't ready to enroll them for Summer Olympics 2020 (do they have soccer in the Olympics? who knows...just roll with me).
I also want to mention that the kids picked their own team name. I was hoping for some scary animal that would strike fear into their opponents. But in true children fashion they picked "THE EYEBALLS", because it was funny. Nice!
To start off the game each team put in 3 people. Sydney, Emma and their friend Georgina were picked. At this point I'm pumped because Georgina is wicked awesome, fast and fearless. A perfect combination of talent for a girl to play sports!

But to our surprise Sydney scored like 6 goals. I mean this girls has "golden feet". (oh don't mind Syd running with her hands over her ears...ha...she hates loud noises!)

Even Emma tapped a few in. But just to make sure the other team didn't get their feelings hurt we put a few balls into our goal too.

Although to top it off there was a boy on our team that emulated the perfect title of a "Texan" playing soccer. Please note his boots AND blue jeans!
GO EYEBALLS!
