Well tonight was the first soccer practice for my oldest, it was so much fun! It was terribly cold, almost like winter still. The wind chilled us to the bone! But still fun to watch all the 3 & 4 year olds run around chasing and kicking a ball. They really had a blast.
It’s going to be a great season!
And tonight I witnessed my first “worst soccer mom”, only it wasn’t a mom it was a great uncle and older brother of a 4 year old. It was pretty sad I’d say. I mean really this was their first practice, they’re 4 – let them have some fun! The great uncle and the brother who was probably 10 or so kept yelling at this poor little boy – no wonder he looked like he didn’t really want to be there and seemed to tune everyone out and be in his own little world. It was like these two individuals expected this little boy soccer like a professional and they seemed really disappointed when he played just like all the other kids. Too sad!
I don’t really care how well they play, as long as they have fun doing it (especially at this age for goodness sake!)

Last week as I was getting the kids ready for bed, our neighbor pulled into the yard on his quad. He had just come back from shooting beaver in the creek behind our home and he had one on the back of the quad that he wanted to show the kids.
So the kids all got to see what a dead beaver looks like. (Not many city kids would be able to have that kind of experience!)
For the next couple of days they kept asking why he shot the beaver. The beaver have built a couple of dams on the creek in behind our yard and they’ve chewed down quite a few of the trees along our fence line.
I took them for a walk down by the creek to show them where the neighbor was shooting the beaver and the trees that they had chewed down. It was all so fascinating for them. I was a little upset to see all the trees that they had chewed down but my husband just said that it will give the spruce trees more room to grow. I guess that’s one way to look at it.
Lately it’s been difficult to find time to write articles for this website. I’m not sure if it’s more reluctance or lack of inspiration on my part or just too busy with other projects. It’s probably a little bit of everything.
I’ll see how the next few months go but lately I’ve really been feeling like I should put this site on hold or possibly even take it down for now, at least until I can dedicate more time to it.
