See that kick? That is the kick that always gets coaches to make Liam the goalie. He doesn’t especially like being the goalie, but he is good at it. He’s not one of those kids you see at soccer games who are quick and agile and zip all over the place, but is strong and that kick can send the ball almost into the opponent’s net at the other end of the field.

The boys’ school had a carnival tonight and Liam won the cakewalk. Normally, this would result in Liam picking out something sweet from the table with all the goodies on it. You see, the problem is that Liam has a brother with a HUGE sweet tooth who did not win the cake walk, so they are having a “discussion” as to what Liam should pick. Yes, I had to intervene. Yes, Colm tried to win the cake walk at least four more times and he never won.
The boys received their new belts tonight. They don’t look very happy in this picture (they had just completed at hour of TKD and I think they were just tired and thirsty) but I assure you they are very excited and happy about moving up in the TKD ranks.
Liam’s homework tonight was to explore the website that goes along with the school’s new math curriculum. Colm was watching him and soon realized that there were a lot of math games on there that involved sports.
One of Colm’s new chores is making his bed each morning before school. Granted, this is not the best made bed in the world…it’s a work in progress. 😉
The church where Liam and Colm take their violin lessons is back in the woods a little bit. It always makes me feel like I am at summer camp; it even smells like summer camp. Anyways, there are spiders all over that place right now..huge webs everywhere with spiders smack dab in the middle waiting for their dinner.
It doesn’t matter how many times I tell them not to wrestle near the coffee table…
Liam ended up with a knot on his head.
