5 days

I guess 5 days in a row of football practice are just too many for a 6 year old.  Alex didn't want to practice yesterday either.  He did so well on Wednesday and Thursday, but Friday he was just too tired to practice.  He wore his full uniform, but I just couldn't get him to go out there and practice.  Next week they'll start their normal practice schedule: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.  I'm hoping since he practiced three days last week, he'll do great on this three day practice schedule.  It's a lot to expect a 6 year to practice 5 days in a row in 90 plus degree heat.  That's all there is to it.  I'm proud of him for what he did do last week considering this is his first time playing football and given the temperatures he had to practice in.

The soccer coaches will be meeting next Saturday for Isaac's soccer season.  So, we should know soon what team Isaac will be on.  Then we'll get to add Isaac's soccer practice into our weekly routine.  I'm hoping his practice falls on Wednesday or Friday.  That way, we're not juggling two practices on the same day.  But, given how things usually fall, that's what will happen; Isaac will practice on one of the days Alex does.

Oh, and to add to all that's going on, school starts in 5 days.  Thank goodness I planned enough ahead and got all of the boys' back to school stuff (except supplies) last weekend.  So, this weekend, I'm not out in the crowds trying to get everything.  Next weekend all we'll have to do is get the school supplies after we get the teachers' lists.

Our summer has flown by as it always does.  These lyrics from Zac Brown Band's new CD ring especially true right now:

"And as time goes by,
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
We're running out of it."

from their song - The Day That I Die
