A life with boys will be a life with football
Wednesday, 02 May 2007
Last week Matthew started a football club at the local leisure centre; Mini Soccer for kids 3 to 5. He chose to wear his Liverpool kit for the first session and this week he wanted to wear his Rangers top. I teamed this up with his England shorts and Liverpool socks, he looked very cool. He had a great time and came out red faced from all the running around. To top it off he even scored 2 goals, he apparently celebrated his goals by doing a 'high five' with another boy, how cute! Here he is outside the leisure centre on Monday, look how happy he is.
I wonder what he'll wear next time; will it be his Northern Ireland kit, his Linfield kit, his England kit or his Liverpool kit? I'd better explain why he has so many; Jeff is from Northern Ireland and supports Liverpool, I am from England, Jeff's Mum is from Scotland, hence the Rangers top (we bought it for £3 when we went to see Justin Currie in Glasgow) and Jeff used to play for Linfield (Reserves), a team in Northern Ireland.
Last night I watched the football with Jeff; Liverpool v Chelsea in the Champions League Semi-Final. Good job the boys were asleep as the language wasn't for children's ears! We finally beat Chelsea after extra-time and penalties, fantastic! Then I realised that the date for the final was 23rd May, the same day as the Travis concert we are supposed to be going to. I know which event Jeff will watching and they don't come from Scotland.
And finally, this morning I put a brown cheeky monkey top on Callum but he was adamant that he didn't want to wear it. Instead he chose to wear a blue t-shirt with a football on the front. I took a photo at breakfast this morning, you can see how bad his eczema is at the moment as well as his top. Can't wait to see the doctor tomorrow.
This is a house of boys, football is destined to be a part of our life's!

After doing the post I thought I may as well do a layout about it whilst I'm at it!
