We are in full swing of soccer at our house. It is six days a week with four out of five of us playing soccer.  And if that isn't enough soccer we must watch the Sounders when they are on a channel we get.  This year as well as last year, Isaac has participated in soccer at his middle school instead of the rec league during the fall.  This allows him to be a referee most of the day on Saturdays.  He's a driven kid to make money.  So far his plan has been to save for a car and college, but he certainly likes having some spending money as well.  I'm loving the middle school soccer program in that he practices for 1 1/2 hours everyday.  His games are during the week too.  I can make it to some of his home games and need my camera so that I'm not the obnoxious mom yelling at kid.  It keeps me quiet and focused.  I think it keeps me from embarrassing him.  The varsity high school coach just  had a little talk with these middle schoolers and now Isaac is running with John at night (4 miles).
