Well soccer is over for another year and the Walkers can breath a sigh of relief. To make the end of season a little special for Ethan's team Donald and I made up some pennants for the team. So Friday afternoon Donald ran out to Spotlight and found some black and gold felt and he designed and cut them out while I sewed them up. After adding a few special touches (wording) they were ready for the next day. Nothing like a last minute rush job.
In between sewing I was baking cupcakes and stuffing lolly bags for Sam's team as I was their manager this year and wanted to give them a little treat after their final game. I'm afraid we couldn't stretch making pennants for Sam's team, as there are 14 on his team and only 6 on Ethan's. After the games on Saturday we all went back to the lovely home of one of the boys on Ethans team for a BBQ, where we got to present the pennants to each of the players. Which they all loved.
Ethan's team so far had won every game this season, so Donald wrote on the pennants that they were undefeated. Little did we know that the game they played that morning was going to be as tough as it was. My goodness it was heart wrenching and neck and neck. In the end they drew 6 all, still undefeated thank goodness, otherwise Donald was going to have to add a little amendment to the pennants - Almost Undefeated.
We also made a pennant for Donald too.
We had a lovely BBQ with some fun families and one of the mums, Caroline, had made a fantastic soccer ball cake which was delicious. It was hard to stop Donald going back for 4th and 5th servings.......he does so love his cake.

You guys are so soccer-saturated, I love it all - the family togetherness of the soccer culture (and that great cake!!)
Where do you find the time??
What great ideas - ahh warm fuzzies. Isn't it lovely that they made you a cake!
Great cake! We're on the other hand at the beginning of the soccer season. We'll have indoor soccer during the winter but so far they'll be playing outside.
