Futbol

Soccer season is in full swing at the Spencer house. Elliot and Charlie are both playing this year. And Justin and I are coaching both teams! The boys are having a grand old time.

They love to score goals. In most games we have to put a limit on Elliot and tell him to pass to his teammates. Charlie scored about 10 goals in his last game. But if we tried to make him pass to his teammates no one would know, since they are mostly tackling one another or laying in the grass.

We try to focus on just having fun. But they both want to know who won the game. Our conversation after each game goes something like this. "Mom, did we win?" "Yes, Charlie." "Sweet! Elliot we won!"

Am I crazy, or does Elliot look kind of like Mason in that picture? I love how he is sticking his tongue in the space where he lost his tooth. I also love how much these kids love soccer, it truly is the one and only celestial sport.

If you look closely at the first picture you can see Charlie and the other boy's arms are entangled. They were pushing each the whole game. It was awesome!

Good to know he got the Lyon genes in the soccer department. Need I add how hot soccer players are? Kinda gross in terms of your five year old, sorry...
