Working Hard

Wow so It seem like I live in my car lately. The boys are sure patient with me and all the dragging them around. I take Gabe to school, go to work (with Noah and Triston) and then we go home. Then we go get Gabe from school, sometimes run errands and then go to soccer practice or some other thing we have set out. Boo! I'm going through so much stinking gas! Anyway so we had soccer games today and Noah is so funny. First I had to bribe him to get him to even play. But that totally worked so I am really not complaining at all! Then he does pretty good for the first half but then his attention is gone and the game has become dull. So he simply finds other things that interest him. For instance he gets he "goggles" out you know he makes circles with his fingers and hands and looks through them. So then the coach (bless his patient heart) sees this and calls him back to reallity. He said "run Noah, get the ball"! My son thinks what he means by this is "lets race down the field" so he races the coach down the field and throws his hands in the air triumphantly when he wins. (the coach doesn't know what the H** he is doing so he just sais again... "Noah, get the ball!") Then the whisle is blown and again with the attention span of a gnat Noah is distracted. He takes a few steps in the direction the coach has been "gently" indicating for a bit but lo and behold a dandelion!!!! Which he abrublty stops (in the middle of the commotion) and picks the flower, Strolls casually over to the coach and says "I needa go giz this to my mom k?) and off he strolls (right through the middle of the hullaballoo) to me! I gracefully accept the flower and by this time the coach has ordered a sub for my distracted son and the game doesn't miss a beat. Seeing that he has been replaced my son then takes the initiative and heads for the car! Well he is done so we now need to go get the promised treat! Whew! My mom was there and couldn 't stop chuckling through the whole game. Oh, and there was no discrimination... he went back (while the game was still going) and found my mom a flower too!!! He is awesome! I love his stinking guts (as Jalee would put it) LOL Hope your soccer games are fun like mine!
