This past weekend was Sean's last weekend of soccer in the town's Under-6 league. This year he was on the "Green Eagles" (boo Eagles!) and he had a great season thanks to a great team roster - a bunch of his friends from his Pre-K class!
The very first game of the season was a beastly hot day. The game was at 8:30 am, but the poor boys (and the spectators) were melting on the spot!
We enjoyed other games in the autumn weather with only one game getting called off for rain. Seany's really improved over the past year and he's found that he especially likes to play defense.
Clare is an amazing cheerleader - she loves to watch Sean play (and help eat the halftime and post-game snacks). But she'd really like to join the town's Girls' Under-6 league next year when she's FOUR! :-)
This is a picture I snapped right after Sean scored a goal :-)
The last game of the season was super duper cold! So cold! Seany wore his purple minion hat to keep his ears warm and give him energy:
But after a banana break at halftime, he turned his hat to the yellow minion:
For the second half of the last game, the parents played against the kids! Sean had a rough go of it - one player's mother hip-checked him to the ground (whoops) and his own Daddy scored on the kids (whoops again). But after the game...
...trophies were handed out to the boys!
Sean and some of his pals - he's known these guys since they were 2 years old - or younger!
After the last game, the coaches hosted a little party at Dunkin Donuts! Sean was thrilled because he got to eat a doughnut with his friends and Clare was thrilled since she got to sit at the super-cool "sister table" with two other sisters of the players:
We tried to get one last team picture and this was probably the best shot I could get:
