Playing Soccer

 I know that most of the pics I post are of the girls looking thier best.  I usually take the picture first thing after a quick face wipe and hair comb, before the clothes are a mess.  But if you even barely know me or my kids, you know that the one second in a photograph is only 1/86,400 of my day and the other 85,399 seconds can look very different.  Here is one of those seconds that cracked me up.  Clara and Nora were playing upstairs in Clara's room.  They came down and said that they were going to go out to play soccer. 

A few things to notice:

Clara is wearing soccer socks and shin guards, just placed on the side of her legs

Clara is running in place to warm up

Clara's cleats were too small, so she opted for her sneakers, which are also too small

Nora is wearing her "soccer" shoes, one boot and one white Easter shoe

Nora's boot is a left boot on her right foot and the shoe is a right shoe on her left foot

Nora is missing pants

Nora is ready to play soccer with her baseball

Clara and Nora are a mess, with snow cone juice all over thier clothes, hands and face

Lila has no idea about the soccer game, but wants in the photo

Lila is a mess...she just finished eating ketchup with her spoon (ketchup gone, nuggets still on plate)

Lila has a dirty diaper...to change her diaper is a wrestling match, with lots of crying and I wanted to get the photo before I had to pin her down and wipe her bottom

And there you have it, we are ready to play soccer, after the Lila vs Mommy wrestling match, of course!
