The boys had their soccer games on Saturday.  The schedules were partly overlapped, therefore again we had to divide and conquer.  Connor and I did sneak in a few minutes of Logan’s game before driving to his.  Logan as well as his team did not seem as aggressive as previous, but did better in the second half.  They lost the game 4-1 but Logan did come within a few feet of a goal.  Connor did fine in his; he was running around in the heat.  He was happy that he had a couple bigger kicks.  Since it was hot, we went for swimming in the afternoon.  The club is now closed after the summer, but we had signed the waiver and we could continue to use the pool until end of October.  As a result of the closure, the pool was quite empty.  The water was very cold upon entry, but once we were in, it was fine.  The boys both did fine, and seemed to go through the water faster.  Logan became fond of floating with the noodle and was happy moving around on his own.  Connor is getting a bit too brave with water at times.

    After we cleaned up, we waited for our guests Rohan and his family to arrive afterwhich the boys were off to play in the house and later in the backyard too.  Connor periodially changed himself into different costumes.  Later, they came in and joined us to have dinner.  They had a great time playing until toward the end, when Logan and Connor started coming to us a few times to complain about each other not being nice.  At one point, Connor even cried as he said he tripped on something Logan put on the ground.  They returned to play fine until it was time for the Gopals to go home.  As we were getting ready to read at bedtime, Connor asked me for a paper and periodically asked me to spell words for him.  At the end, he presented this note to me and daddy.
