Soccermania!!!





This past weekend Anne Craig participated in her first soccer tournament. (Since after all this is her first season to play) It has been a funny experience to say the least. I'm not sure if we're long term soccer players as far as Anne Craig is concerned. She really tried hard this season and ran back and forth up the field as the game went along. As far as her getting much action in actually kicking the ball. Well, let's just say.........naaaaaaaaaa. She preferred the stand off position of circling about and around others. She did however score her first "correct" goal of the season this past weekend on a kick from the kickoff that went past the other teams players and strait into the goal. I must say it was pretty exciting. She seemed pleased in her own Anne Craig kinda way. (Meaning.. could take or leave it) By "correct" goal I mean, actually KICKING it in HER teams' goal. A few weeks ago another hysterical Anne Craig soccer moment happened when she was protecting the goal as "goalie" and as the other team was scrambling to kick it in and get it past her she decides as the ball rolled toward her instead of kicking it in the opposite direction she would just pick it up and throw it in for them! (oh and in a classic "over her shoulder style" I might add). So as soccer is coming to a close here in Greenwood, with our last games being next week for both Floyd and Anne Craig, it has been a great season. I will post more pics of Floyd next week. He, on the contrary, LOVES soccer and is pretty good I must say. He's quick, aggressive and a true hussler on the field. (Yes, he gets that from me- ha) He's made many goals this season and is the "go to man" or the "pass it to Floyd" for his team. All in all, soccer has been fun fun. What's next?? Oh yea, Basketball. Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!
