Street Hockey



It was such a nice evening! The temperature was great and there was no humidity.  We sent the kids outside to play hoping to wear them out. Shelby disappeared somewhere, she usually does. I would love to plant a GPS locater into her little arm.  There is only one little girl in the neighborhood that will tolerate her, so I am sure that is where she went.  Tyler went to play Street Hockey with Chad next door.  Their version is a bit less interactive than what you are thinking, I'm sure.  They just did a lot of sliding the ball back and fourth to each other and even more chasing it down the street. They can skate (sort of) but the stick handling needs a bit of work.  Good practice for the upcoming hockey season. I know it is only July, but registration ends in just two weeks.  It is crazy.  There is such a high level of pressure put on kids these days.  I know that it starts at home, I don't need the lecture.  But really, if they don't start to participate in things now, they will never catch up!  I know, I am feeding into it.  As long as I can afford to put them in therapy, we will all be fine :)

Turns out Shelby was at that little girls house.  She came home for dessert, imagine that.  Too bad she doesn't know that she has gone sugar free!

Love,
