Soccer Week 4

Are you all glad there are only two more weeks of soccer left? :) I know I am. It was finally nice weather which definitely made a huge difference. So Talan still needed to have one of us hold his hand or else he wouldn't play. He was very distracted by a dog during the game and kept wanting to pet it. You'll see in the video that Talan is trying to go to the dog and Barclay is trying to get him to focus on playing soccer. What a concept! :) Still, some very cute moments through out the day.

In between the boys games, we went to Target (where the boys and I ate at the target cafe while Barclay looked at curtain rods) and then we went to Petco to enjoy animals while Barclay hit up Bed Bath and Beyond to look at Curtain rods again. :) As luck would have it, there was an adoption day going on and so there were tons of dogs available for adoption. I ran into my classmate Kris from Financial Peace University. She has a business walking dogs. She had lots of "cookies" available which Talan promptly feed to EVERY dog there. It was hilarious. Everyone commented that we will have a very fat dog if we do get a dog. Well, Kris referred me to a gal who specializes in placing adoptions and so the long and the short of it is that she has a dog that she thinks might be a great fit for us. And the dogs name is Mason. Funny! So, when Joe gets home I'd like to meet Mason the dog and see if he is a good fit.

So, back to soccer. Mason's team did quite well. Mason played goalie and did a decent job at it. He is no longer pouting etc. on the field. He still enjoys taking lots of breaks and he still has no clue what the game is about but there is some improvement. He is great about running back and forth constantly up and down the field but he is easily distracted.
