Tot Soccer and Sweet Ramblings










We went to Macarios (our favorite Mexican restaurant in the desert) for dinner. They have a strolling guitar player. Here is Maya joining in the fun. Here is Monterey wishing he would leave and trying to avoid making eye contact. What a difference in personalities.

Monterey loves to play with her hair. This is Maya doing one of her victory dances.
Sample soccer week: After the other team scored three goals in a row and Maya's team scored a big, fat zero, Maya ran over for a water break and started frantically yelling: "We haven't scored anything and they have three. I am SO mad. Are you mad?" To which I exclaimed: "I am SO ticked off." This seemed to satisfy her as she ran off to complete the humiliation. She ended up scoring a heroic goal; in spite of the fact that she had Monterey on her team and another girl who kept kicking the ball consistently the wrong way, resulting in two goals for the other team. Monterey performed her usual try-to-avoid-the-ball-at-all-costs technique in the which she made accidental contact twice.

The awards ceremony was brief but satisfying. The mass of trophies handed out in a line with continuous applause. A small scale Reverend Moonie wedding. Here they are with the masses. And here they are with Coach Anthony. The season is over. Yeah.

Monterey's Musings: Mom, How did Jesus make all this stuff? I don't know, what do you think? I think He has superhero powers.

Monterey trying to eat a Halloween Reese's Peanut Butter Cup for breakfast:
Mom: "You can't eat that for breakfast."
Monterey: "Mom, Reese's Puffs."
Not that I would ever let my children eat that for breakfast.

Maya pays attention in church and uses the new found info to torment her sister:
Maya: "Today I learned that we are all sheep."
Monterey: "No we aren't, we are all people."
Maya: "No, we are Jesus' sheep."
Monterey: "We are people."
Maya. "We are sheep." (Maya smiles sheepishly at this point.)
Monterey: "We are people." (Monterey starts crying.)
Maya: "Sheep."
Monterey: "People" (At this point there would have been a physical altercation, but they were straped in their car seats so they could not get "at each other.")
Maya: "Sheep."
Monterey: "People"
Maya: "Sheep."
Monterey: "People"
Maya: "Sheep."
Monterey: "People"
Pause
Maya: "Baaaa."

That is so funny! I love it. Sheep, no people.! I can see my kids sitting in the back seat doing the same thing.

Soccer looks like it was fun. I can't believe the difference in personality between those two...it cracks me up. Maya freaking out that they are losing, and Monteray trying hard to avoid contact with the ball. -Too funny.

And that sheep vs people story...seriously a CLASSIC! I love it! Ü

Jeff and a 2-year old Justin had a similar (though less profound) argument at the beginning of Star Trek Next Generation, Jeff: "moon", Justin: "ball", etc.
