Soccer, The Incredibles and Saturday Night Fever...

With only one soccer game actually taking place today - the other two cancelled due to rain and illness - the responsibility of representing the Stephens family on the soccer field rested entirely on Tanner's shoulders. In a performance described as mirroring David Beckham, Tanner rose to the occasion and put away 6 goals. Despite the rain, mud, and wind, he led his Kickers team to a 10-4 victory!

After spending the day indoors, playing countless games of Battleship and "hand soccer" - since the kids aren't supposed to kick the ball in the house - we capped off the evening with movie night! After reading off the names of ALL of the movies in our cupboard, the kids finally agreed - and I use this term VERY loosely (2 out of 3) - on The Incredibles. Ice Cream sandwiches are the final stop for these kiddipoos before we ship them off to bed!

With Markie's Saturday Night Fever running full force - back up to 102 degrees, I can only hope that a good night's rest awaits us.

When I read your blog title I thought you were watching SNF as your movie choice. So sorry to hear that Markie is still battling the virus. You would think the Dr. would want to see him after running a fever for almost a week now.

Kudos to Tanner Beckham and his amazing 6 goal feat! Your kids are amazing. It is probably a good rule not to let them kick the ball in the house or you wouldn't have any windows left! :-)

Rest well....all of you!
