“CWSC freedom” holiday party.

9 comments

these are my sixteen 14, ALMOST 15(!) yr old, daughters.

we were in louisville for a tournament. we thought it be a good idea to intimidate our opponents with fake tats.o, it worked. mine was a pirate. HA

today we played lazer tag during the day and the goofed off at my house til midnight. can you tell they got into our costume bag? lol notice the two wearing

aviators in both the shots above and below? completely unintentional!

a few 2 liters of mt dew later..

i’ve played soccer since i was only a handful of fingers. about 5.5 yrs ago i decided it was

my turn to give back, so started coaching/training club teams for cincinnati west soccer club. my friend maggie and i have had this same group

of girls for almost 4 yrs, year round. since most of them are playing for their high schools now, we decided last season would unfortunately be the end of ‘freedom.’

there was never EVER a dull moment with this group. besides our sweet footskills, we are known for some serious pranking, once (at least) a week visits to skyline, slip ‘n’ slide in the mud,

extreme games of ‘butts up’ and various other activities that aren’t generally appreciated by the typical soccer coach. lol. but hell, we were always a winning team!

i’m so sad the see it end, but i they have all got a special place in my heart. i know, puke, i’m so corny! we will however always hang out and make fools of ourselves!

and if anything i have 16 girls who promise to babysit ANNNYTIME! lol. i love these girls. they mean the world to me. heart, coach mel.

this is delaney. shes super cool.

lil sister madegan. i’d like to take credit for teaching her how to draw since i’m her art teacher, however mom is quite creative.

not all moms are cool enough to encourage their little girls to get dirty! love it.

one time her dad came into school to let the two boys delaney always talks about at home know who’s boss. it was so cute.

yes, i am worried for all the boy’s hearts these two are going to break one day.

there are 4 other ones maddie’s making crazy faces. lol.

rad.

you know you want to smile. do it. melanie’s favorite.

julie encourages these kids to be different and to think outside the box. i enjoy her confidence and the simple lesson of ‘being yourself’ she’s teaching them.

you can see they get their beauty from mom:) isn’t it crazy how much they look alike??

adam’s favorite.

had to get the timeless shot.

i learned a new verse to ‘ring around the rosey’ that day.

i teach art/art history at a local montessori preschool/kindergarten. I have had delaney for 3 years now and this is my first year with maddie.

i actually asked julie if i could shoot her family! i owe her big time because has been coming in my art room to aide me every other friday for a year.

not only is she donating 5 hours of her time, but all 3 of them dress up with me! every single friday i’ve named “fun friday”, where i literally go through my closet and try my

hardest to pick out layers of clothes that don’t match. its actually harder than you think! one time dad even came in dressed up with them! LOVE IT!! to have her around is so awesome.

i think every parent should have to experience one day in the classroom so they can just really understand what it’s like! anyway, they are moving out to california where their dad just

relocated to. i am obviously VERY sad about that. julie is always saying how hard it is to get photos of the fam, so what a great thank you gift from me:)

julie is that parent who you have to adore. i mean, if you are an educator, you know that most often the parents aren’t the easiest to work with.

but julie makes all the teachers gifts, and she THANKS them…and well, parents like her keep us teachers coming back!

i hope you love them! i do:) heart, miss melanie!
