Soccer Mom!

Soccer season is in full swing for us now!  Our oldest is in his fourth year and this is the first year for our middle child.  Yes, I can't believe I have two little boys in soccer!  Thankfully, they practice on the same night, one practice following the other.  I have learned to become a pro at planning for a night of soccer.

1.  Bring dinner with you.  It keeps my youngest occupied for a time and it allows my oldest to eat before his practice and my middle to eat after his practice.

2.  DVDs.  Thankfully our van has a DVD player in it.  If your vehicle doesn't have a DVD player, you can download Netflix on your iPad or iPhone and have some entertainment that way.

3.  Pajamas.  My youngest goes to soccer in her pajamas, if she falls asleep in the van, it is no big deal to take her straight to bed when we get home.  

When the weather gets warmer, we will be taking advantage of the land and walking during practice, I look forward to that day.

What about you other sports moms, what are some tips you have for making practice a bit easier for the other children?  I would love to hear your ideas!!

In Motherhood,
