Soccer, Soccer, Soccer!!

 If it's not hockey, it's soccer!  Both the boys love playing soccer and this year Owen has taken on playing Rep soccer.  Interesting thing about rep soccer for 

8 year olds.. ...they don't keep score.  They played in a "Festival" a weekend ago, and all teams won!  I'm curious to see what happens to these kids when they grow up and realize that not everything is fair, and that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win.  

This year at my school, it has been decided by a few individuals that graduation is going to be very different.  Student academic awards are being handed out at dress rehearsal and "with honours" is not longer being said as students walk across the stage.  I'm just wondering what message this sends to the students that worked hard, were successful and should receive these awards???  I think this is a big mistake!

 

 Griffin took his turn playing goal keeper this past week!  

As you can see, he is having a blast!
