The Boy's team finished the regular season undefeated this evening. It's the best soccer season he's ever experienced, and K and I are relieved he is finally having a great season like L did in volleyball and track.

Soccer Saturday
The Boy's team has had quite the season this year: up to today's game, they had allowed only a single goal. They beat most of their opponents handily. Today was different. They were up 3-0 by the first half, so the coach put in a new goalie. Someone who'd never played goalie before. I suppose the reasoning was that if the other team started scoring, he could make adjustments and put back one of the two boys who usually play in the goal. That seemed unnecessary, though: the boys added three more to the score, invoking the mercy rule, which means they were no longer allowed to score. In the final minutes, though, the goalie made a mistake that left too much room and allowed a shot into a virtually open goal. The boys still won 6-1, but E was a little disappointed: "I wanted to finish the season with only one goal scored against us."
Soccer Practice
The Boy's team notched a significant win this weekend, beating a previously-unbeaten team, and that decidedly. What does a wise coach do on Monday practice? Run drills? Work them silly? Burpees and suicides? Of course not -- he just let them play.
And the sun did a little playing with the clouds as well. That photo looks excessively edited, but I did my best to make it look just as it did when I took it -- some of the most brilliant and rich colors I've ever seen. Only the ground is too dark...
Goal!
It's not often Emil scores a goal: he plays left back most of the time, so defending is his thing. But the coach put him up front in the second half of today's game, and he got a free kick.
