Just a typical day during soccer season...

Yesterday was pretty crazy. Dylan went to visit his girlfriend (yes, girlfriend) over in Ephraim. Elizabeth's older sister came and got Dylan in the morning, and we picked him up in the afternoon. I got up early to give Dylan a haircut (he wanted to look cute for his girlfriend), since I am my family's official Covid-19 hairdresser. I've cut everyone's hair but my own. So Edith and I had a very lazy day, but things got crazy around 2.30pm. I picked up some paperwork from Krystle's office since we don't have a printer, then dropped it off at the hospital for our doctor to sign. Then it was back home to pick up Edith and Martin. We drove to Ephraim to get Dylan, rushed back to Nephi to pick up one of Martin's soccer players, and drove to Spanish Fork for a Shooters game. Since we had a non-family member in the car, we drove there and back with masks on. It kind of sucked, but that's the only way I'll let a stranger ride in our car. The game was fun. The girls played well, and we beat the other team 3-1. Edith is such a joy to watch. She gets really stuck in, and can reach so far with those long, long legs of hers. I'm not thrilled that Martin is coaching two teams, but it'll be good once the kids are in high school. They'll be better players for it. Anyway, after the game, it was a quick drive home to drop Lilly off and get Martin kitted out to play in his game. He went to play, and I took the kids to grab some dinner. Edith ate her dinner at his game, but Dylan and I ate at home. Soccer season is so consuming. We have Cook Camp this weekend, but Martin and the kids are going to miss almost all of it because of the autumn friendlies. I'm pretty angry about that, but feel like my hands are tied. Between Martin's two teams and Dylan's team, we have six games to go to on Saturday. I"m not planning on going right now, but we'll see. The thought of 30+ people congregating for a full weekend kind of fills me with anxiety already, so I may use the games as an excuse for some alone time in the car. We'll see. It's only going to get busier, but we had so many months of doing nothing that I almost don't mind. Sheltering in place was hard!
