Candy overload

No, this post isn't about the ten pounds of candy the kids collected last Saturday night.

It isn't about how the cat keeps sneaking into said candy, sampling the Pixie Sticks and Tootsie Pops (I didn't even know cats had a sweet tooth).

It is about Gabe, and the freakin' adorable Candy League soccer team he is on over at our YMCA.

Have you ever watched six preschoolers play 3-on-3 soccer, running amuck in their little soccer shorts and shinguards, cheering crazily no matter which kid scores a goal?

If you haven't, you should. Nothing brings a smile to your face faster than this, I swear. The cuteness factor is a definite 10!



These boys didn't even know each other until last week; look at 'em now.


Gabe's team is the "Candy Canes". We battle the "Skittles", the "Kit Kats", and the "Junior Mints". Love it...

Cute cute cute...


Watching any "organized" (I use the term VERY losely) sport at that age is TOO dang funny. I used to go to a friend's son's t-ball games. One of the boys on the team REFUSED to run bases. He would only skip.

We live across the street from an elementary school. They play rec league sports on the fields, so we get to watch them all summer and fall. I especially love the peewee football and soccer because those kids are hysterical! The concept of "team" is VERY loosely defined. Their little, tiny bodies in big, giant gear. Precious.

Aren't the friendships that children develop at that age amazing? They're best friends in a day.

I know of this cuteness that you speak. Hayden did a soccer camp and it was so fun to watch him play.
