I have just recently become a soccer mom. Sunday is now the only day of the week that is free of team sports. It is fun except when three kids need to be different places at the same time and others just can't stand being in the car. Daniel just started 6th grade which is middle school here (we are starting to feel old) he is excited about school this year because 6th graders get laptops. He is on the school flag football team and so far that has been fun. James and Sarah are on soccer teams this year, a first for both of them. Emily loves play dough, bossing the rest of us and shoes. Charlotte just wants to have her stomache not hurt. Chris is busy at work, a guy left and won't be replaced any time soon since they are laying people off. He also does more laundry than any other guy I know.
