Soccer tourney this weekend

I just heard there's a 60% chance of rain, and the weather is expected to be in the 40s this weekend.  Oy.  Dress warm, wear boots, bring a thermos!

We will likely be late to the first game.  I have a meeting in Macedonia for girl scouts, and Mike is going to take Nate to his soccer game in North Canton.  We're hoping that Bren can hitch a ride with one of his teammates up to Lodi, and Mike and Nate should be there right around the time that first game starts.  There's a three-hour wait until the next game, so we'll likely go grab a bite to eat and let B rest and warm up.  Feel free to join us!

More Kindergarten News!

Nathan's Kindergarten class is having an end of the year school play.  It will be on Thursday, May 24th, 2012.  There will be two showtimes:  9:45 AM and 2:15 PM.  Please come and cheer on our Natey!  He loves an audience! If the Christmas play is any indication, it shouldn't be longer than fifteen minutes or so.

Come visit the KinderZoo!!

Nathan's Kindergarten class is studying animals.  They had to choose an animal, research where it lives and what it eats and what it looks like, write a short report about it, and then create a zoo habitat for their stuffed animal to live in.  The habitats will all be on display on Thursday, April 19, 2012.  The times are between 9:15-9:45 and 2:45-3:15. 

Nathan's is quite adorable and he worked very hard on it.  If you need directions to the school, call me.  Hopefully I'll have pictures later.  I wanted to take a picture before we delivered it to school, in case some awful tragedy befell it, but by the time I thought of it Mike already had it packed up and in the car.

More soccer!

As I mentioned a week or so ago, Natey will be starting Y-League soccer this weekend!  He'll be on Team 5.  They won't have their t-shirts for a couple of weeks, so  just look for Mike.

Here's his game schedule (these games are all at the fields behind the old North Canton Middle School, where Brenny's used to be):

Northern Ohio Cup Tournament

Weekend after next, April 21 and 22, 2012.

Location: Outdoor fields at 8809 Lake Road Seville, Ohio, 44273.  For those of you keeping score, that would be the same place where I broke my ankle a week ago.  Careful in the parking lot! :)

Games: 

Saturday at 12:00 PM, Field 6, vs. Cleveland Select
Saturday at 4:00 PM, Field 30, vs. Jackson Fury
Sunday at 9:00 AM, Field 29 vs. CKSC South

Semifinal:  Sunday, 12:00 PM (this is ONLY if we qualify).

Final:  Sunday, 2:00 PM, Field 13 (only if we win the semifinal game)

Sorry, but I don't have a field diagram.  The place is HUGE!  If you're planning to attend, call Mike or I and we'll try to describe where to find us.  The boys will likely be wearing their striped blue and white jerseys for most games.

**Also, we might need some help with Nathan for the first Saturday game.   I have a girl scout meeting to attend first thing in the morning, and as you can see above, Nate has a soccer game at 10:30 at the old NC middle school, and Brendan has to be in Lodi by 11:30 to warm up. 

Spring soccer!!

So, Brendan will be starting spring outdoor soccer soon.  From what I understand, all of his games will be on the outdoor fields at the Lodi complex where he's played the last couple of indoor games.  Apparently it's quite a mud pit, so bring your muckalucks.  I don't know when I'll have a game schedule, but when I do I'll post it here.

Also, Natey will be starting spring soccer with the NCYMCA!  Games are on Saturdays, usually behind the old Middle School, times to be announced.  I think that their first game is going to be the week after Easter.  If I remember correctly from Brendan's days with Y-league, the instructional teams practice skills for the first half hour and play games for the second half.  It's going to be a shin-kicking good time!

In case you hadn't heard yet . . .

I broke my ankle over the weekend.  The easter egg hunt is off.  Easter dinner is still on, at least for now.  Just call me Graceful Grace!
