Spring soccer is very low key. It isn't as competitive as Fall soccer and they don't have any practices during the week. They show up on Saturday morning, assemble themselves, warm up and play a game. Baseball, softball and lacrosse have priority over the fields in the Spring so soccer only gets Saturdays. This year, because some of the kids that play Fall soccer will play baseball or softball in the Spring, there was a shortage of coaches. After we got the second email stating Emily's team did not have a coach, Todd volunteered to HELP someone. Next thing we know Todd is picking up soccer equipment and he is the coach. Coach Todd, the one and only for the team. Both Emily and Callie were on Purple teams. Emily's team name was Grape Crush and Callie's the Purple Dragons. Both teams did very well!! Emily and Todd's team were undefeated. Todd had to be careful about placing the kids after his team was literally "Crushing" the other teams. A lot of good players on the team.
Callie's team was coached by a mom that stepped up to coach because no one else did. She was nervous but did a great job and had some really good players on the team. We enjoyed watching Callie score many goals for her team!
Here are some pics........
Here is Emily and Morgan waiting for the ball to come their way!
Callie in action! Her strength is running the ball down the field! She is so fun to watch!
The last game the girls and Todd sprayed their hair purple! 
Callie and her soccer buddy, Rhianna. Rhianna will be riding with us to Cleveland this year to stay with her aunt and uncle for the three weeks we will be there. Callie and Rhianna have been on the same team for awhile now and went to different elementary schools. In September they will finally be together in the same school.
Callie's team the Purple Dragons!!!
Emily and Todd's team the Grape Crush! We drove all over Nashua and Merrimack looking for Grape Crush for the kids. Never found it. Finally Todd found Grape Fanta and gave it to the kids after the last game. Here they are with their Grape soda!!!
Todd with his striped purple hair! He wore his team shirt and even put on the purple soccer socks for the last game. Such team spirit!!!
We celebrated Todd's birthday on Father's day. Double the celebration! Here is Todd with the gift the girls got him for Father's Day!!! I love it!!! The book says it all!!! It should say Handsome Geek Dad. 
Here is Emily with her friend, Rebecca. They got to participate in a Jazz concert with professional Jazz musicians. During school the musicians worked with the kids and then they had a big Jazz concert one night during the school's art festival.
Here is Callie during the Orffestra concert. She danced, played her recorder, sang, danced with scarves and played on an alto xylophone. 
This picture is from Fun Day. I wanted to show how big the slide really is. This picture shows the fireman on top spraying the water down the slide. Callie is sliding down the slide with her friend, Alexis.That is it for now. I am still working on Spring Break pictures.
