The soccer season has come to an end. This was Owen's first year of soccer, my first time as a genuine "soccer mom" (I'm almost inspired to go out and get me a bobbed hair-do and some khaki capris!) We ended the season with a party at Papa's Pizza. The team had a room to ourselves where the parents hung out, ate pizza and chatted while the kids played in the glass-enclosed play area. What I love about this place? No Tokens. No Tickets to redeem for crappy plastic "prizes". And very little noise (yay for sound-proof playrooms!) What I dislike? Eventually as a parent you are forced to enter the playroom to retrieve your kids...it smells like FEET in there! A balloonist (yes I know..but what do you call the guy who makes stuff out of balloons?) made the kids balloon swords, hats, poodles, etc. and a a balloon joust broke out amongst several of the kids (mine included!) Each team member received a trophy and "goodie bag" (thanks to this soccer mom) and the team presented the coach with a pizza-and-movie-night gift box (a popcorn box filled with pop, popcorn, candy and gift certificates for videos and pizza.) Owen is excited about playing soccer again next year!
