The Purple Unicorn Monkeys

I'm coaching Hailey's soccer team again this season!  We are just about halfway through and have been enjoying some great non-Fall weather....70's and not a drop of rain.  Our luck has shifted and its dropped to 50's and rainy.  We have two weeks of byes and then two more games that will finish up the season in early November. 

We are the ONLY sports team left in Mannheim!!!!   No other sport/age group had enough players (and a volunteer to coach!) so they have to travel to Heidelberg if they want to be on a team.  The high school and middle school closed at the end of last year (those kids from here now get bussed to Heidelberg) so we really are IT!  We really are representing Mannheim!  :)  The 7 kindergarteners wear their jerseys to school on game days!  :) 

We are having loads of fun and let's hope we have enough kids in the Spring for one more run before the installation closes in September 2012

My favorite picture....I'm not sure how Quinn walked away from that unscathed!  She can't weigh more than 30 lbs soaking wet!! 

On the left is typically how I spend part of every practice/game UNTIL the ever so important job of babysitting Katie is needed!  :) 

Passing the time when you have to sit out a quarter! 

Everyone except Bobby who was travelling Europe....is it's amazing what these kids get to experience over here!

All 11 kiddos....we'll only have 9 by the end of the season due to moves!
