As all of you readers know...I love my soccer. Love, love, love to play my soccer. So it goes without saying that Devyn is going to have to play soccer for a few seasons. And somewhere along the way I decided that I should be the coach of her team. It shouldn't be that hard, right? Wrong. What I found out is that coaching entails more than just running practice once a week. It also entails things such as: Opening Ceremonies, getting a banner for opening ceremonies, snack lists, picture day, knowing where the pictures are to be taken, and so on, and so on... Below is a typical question and answer session at our weekly practices.
Mom to me: Do we have a banner for Opening Ceremonies?
Me: Banner? We need a banner?
Mom: Whose bringing snacks this week?
Me: Snacks? We need snacks?
So I feel really sorry for the moms on my team. They must think I am the ditziest soccer coach ever. Thankfully they are very nice and have been training me on soccer coach etiquette. I guess I will find out at the end of the season if I pass the training. 
Here is a picture of the team in front of their home made banner. Yes...several of the moms and I got together and made the banner the day before Opening Ceremonies. Who needs a professionally made banner? The team consists of Ramon, Jonnie, Devyn, Eric and Aaron. I am so excited b/cause they are a great group of kids!

WOW - great looking banner. It rivals any of those that we've paid big buck for our teams. You and the other moms can start a banner business!
What fun for Devyn having mommy as her coach! You are a brave girl taking that on - I felt like that just being a first time soccer mom! :-)
