Well, I have to admit that I am enjoying having soccer free weekends. This was the first year we had two kids on soccer teams and the scheduling was insane. I noticed that different families took different approaches to multiple Saturday soccer games. In some families, the mom and dad just split up while in others, there were concentrated efforts to try to stick together.
I really wanted to see both of my kids play and every week I got the guilt trip from one or the other about which game I was going to see most of. It is kind of silly given that they are so young, that I am not sure it can really be called “playing soccer.” But still . . .
Well, we made it through the season juggling the soccer games and doing our best to figure out how to watch most of them.
When soccer ended last week, it was so nice to just relax on a Saturday morning. No need to run around finding soccer shirts and socks, shin guards, balls and drinks.
Now it is weekend #2 and the kids are bored! It is also really cold so we are once again trying to think of something fun and not to expensive to do that is inside- this has always been a challenging question for us as winters come around. After thinking about it, we give up . . . call up friends and set up a play date.
Winter activities will start soon but in the meantime, any other ideas?
