Rainbow Shooting Stars

Friday was the first big game for the green team! They finally decided on a team name a few days before. Are you ready for it??? They settled on Rainbow Shooting Stars!!! Now I want you to imagine as a parent rooting for the team and yelling: "Go Rainbow Shooting Stars!!!" I personally can't quit giggling, it's hysterical! Dru and team went with this name because Dru and his buddy Caden were really pulling for Orange Team. Caden was backing his Wing Man up. But the girls had a different color in mind...they wanted purple, or pink or something. Something other than Orange (much to Dru's horror!!). Someone also wanted shooting stars in there. So to make it even they went with Rainbow Shooting Stars, which covers everyone's needs/wants. All 4 year olds on the team are happy and that's what counts right? RIGHT!

Coach is giving the kids the run down of some rules and we pass to green only and we shoot for that goal on this side. And to remember to have fun! Kids were pumped! Sorta...Coach lining the kids up...I really think she should have switched 3 and 2 just for giggles. Thankfully, here Dru is not the shortest, he's got another buddy that's his height!Rainbow shooting stars got up to the line...they are playing the Red Team. The whistle blew...green vs. red...and away they go. Well sorta. I think Dru wasn't quite sure what this was all about, thankfully the next time around he figured it out and was all about having some fun and getting that soccer ball!Here's my guy! You just can't beat the fact that he pretty much just turned 4 and managed to get a jersey #4! I mean what are the odds? It's gonna be a special year!Look at him in action!!! Way to go team!Dru and his wing man Caden...working together to get it done! I didn't get a shot of it but Dru did shoot one goal during the game. He was so funny because he got the goal in and he did a very small fist pump when it went in. It was so cute! Darn that kid! He's lucky he's cute, poor kid has been hearing that for 4 years.
I just thought this was so stinking cute! Dru and his buddy Caden were out and they went straight to each other and held each others hands...I see year book or newspaper add in their futures!Good game Red team! Good game Rainbow Shooting Stars! And let me tell you, coach gave out some awesome after the game snack! I'm not sure if any of us will be able to top what she brought! A big bag of M&M's (not your regular .88 bag but the ones that cost over $1) and something colored to drink and wouldn't you know it...Dru got an orange beverage! The stars aligned that day!

I have never had so much fun watching a sport as I did watching a bunch of 4 year olds play! They are all so cute and some have such determination and most just had so much fun and joy in their faces! I can't wait to watch him play again!
