Football Vs Soccer

There are times in my life that my English heritage causes some confusion and now is one of those times. Alysha is playing a sport twice a week – Football to my English side and Soccer to my American : ) Either way, it’s fun to watch her. The girl smiles ALL the time – its awesome. She did manage to make 2 goals last night which of course made us very proud. Whether by accident or default, she was still excited and threw her hands up in the air with a “Goal!” They have no idea on rules, it’s just about kicking the ball and getting it in the goal. Simplicity – no “Bending it like Beckham” or any other fancy footwork.

Jaya enjoys soccer as well, being the first to give her sister high five after the game and of course, spending her time charming the other parents. One of her new words is “Up-Bup” which means “please pick me up!” It is so cute to hear.

The weather is beautiful for soccer – about 65 -70 degrees. Fall is definitely well on its way in Pennsylvania and it is gorgeous. We hope to have some pumpkin patch photos next week so check back soon! Enjoy the photos!
