Let the games begin!

Been juggling two teams' worth of soccer practices, for a couple/few weeks, and last night was the first game night for all three boys.  
I was happy for E because I knew that he'd secretly love his team color(it's his fave).  L and C's color is plain white, but they didn't care.  L was put in as goalie- he's never played soccer (except for maybe a year or 2 when he was a little guy), and has certainly never played goalie, and he did well! He improved a lot by the 2nd half, and their team ended in an 8-8 tie.
E played defense and his team got pretty creamed: 10-2 or something.  His coach sent a wonderfully encouraging email last night, telling them that he was pleased with their efforts.  
What I'm happy about? Even though the black flies are a nightmare here, there are no black flies at the field.  Score!
