Soccer and Cookies

Quinn started the Tri-Sports program at our local Y on Thursday. They do 3 weeks of soccer, 3 weeks of tee-ball, and 3 weeks of flag football(!). He had a few meltdowns, mostly based on some other kid taking the ball he deemed his, but once they started playing an actual "game" he really got into it. He was running after the ball, kicking it, all that good stuff. It wasn't really at the goal, but it was definitely something. Plus his friend Ellie was on his team, which he really liked. While I'm hoping for a soccer/tee-ball/football star, I'm just glad he likes it so far.



A few weeks ago I found some fall cookie cutters and sprinkles at Target and decided to make some cookies with Quinn yesterday. Making sugar cookies from scratch is no easy thing. Ok, making the actual dough is easy, its the rolling and cutting that kind of sucks. But we did the best we could and ended up with about 10 cookies. Quinn was very excited to help, especially the sprinkles part. And they ended up tasting pretty good!


The finished product!

Stopping from Kelly's Korner!

My son loves to help me cook too.

We tried Short Sports at the Y. It sounds a little like the sports activity program your son did.
