Soccer and Boys' Clubs

Cassius and Maceo have built a clubhouse in the family room out of blankets, stools, pillows, and other materials.

Cassius is in there somewhere.

There are some serious rules, of course, for members.

Maceo has been convening meetings there to discuss Pokemon, but Cassius has been slightly recalcitrant about attending, much to Maceo's displeasure. He hectors Cash to come in for a meeting, and then, when Cassius says he isn't coming, he bars him from membership. And then the cycle repeats. He also sends out formal invitations to entice Cassius to come back to the fold. 

I'm not quite sure what those last few words are...

On Saturday, the boys went to soccer practice. While other parents yell directions and encouragement at their players, I tend to sit quietly and not pay much attention. At this practice, a lot of the kids had a bad case of the sillies. However, Maceo and Cassius were the best behaved of them all! They waited patiently with their feet on their ball, focussed on their coach! I was pleased and pleased to tell them so afterwards. Here they are concentrating on dribbling through a slalom course of pylons. Speed was discarded for care...
