Sports

This summer I decided to sign all my boys up for football. Now my older two boys started playing football at the ages of 5 and 6, so I figured since my 2 little ones were 5 and 7 it would be o.k. So not the case. Practices started in early July and it was great. The kids were all excited about meeting new and old friends. They or should I say we were there Mon.-Fri. from 6pm-8pm. fast forward to when the season actually started and it was a mess. My big boys at 11 and 12 have done this before so they were fine. On the other hand, the two little ones were a mess. they didn't want to play because they didn't want to get hit, or they were tired, whatever. It was just excuse after excuse. in the beginning, I would make them go no matter what. I mean, I spent money to sign them up and on the extras that they needed such as cups,under armor, cleats and the oh so special socks they just HAD to have. however, as it slowly got worse with the complaining , I stop making them go. My big thing is , I believe that the younger they start the better chance they have of going pro. So my question today is...

How young is to young for sports.

Just because...

Just because their growing up, doesn't mean they wont always be my babies.

Non-family Trick-or-Treating

In keeping with the holidays, here’s the new drama for the day. Every year my children and I go trick-or-treating. I find this whole process so tiresome. There’s picking out costumes, getting everyone dressed, and all the walking…Ughhhh. Don’t forget that somehow mommy always ends up carrying the bags.  I rather stay at home and give out (and eat) candy, but I figured I gave up that right when I had children. Anyway, of course this year with my older boys think that they are way to cool to go trick-or-treating with their mom and little siblings. So they have decided that they each want to go with a group of their friends. I told them that I didn’t think so. Flash back to my childhood years of growing up…egging people and houses, older children stealing our candy…Umm...No. Granted, my children are growing up in a Much nicer neighborhood, and their friends seem to be well behaved, but I’m still weary. One I think they are way too young. Two, I think they are growing up way to fast... (tears) LOL. and three, I really want help with the younger kids. (sad Face) So people my question today is are they

Too young for trick-or-treating with friends (too old for mommy)
