Soccer isn't over, but the time change means that late evening practices are. Mostly, things went really, really well. There was one week where I completely failed -- I don't exactly remember what we ate before soccer, but it may very well have been a bag of goldfish crackers. A good snack was the least of my problems that day, but hey, one day in the season isn't too bad.
I learned a couple of things. First off, I never, ever feel like spending Sunday afternoon making soccer snacks. Easy was definitely important. Re-packaging some leftovers worked well, and so did leftover soup. The kids' favorites were granola, sausage kebabs, and red pepper spread. Fortunately, those were some of the quickest, too. Just as important as the kids' favorites were my favorites, because when 6:00 rolls around, I'm usually the one who needs dinner RIGHT NOW. Waiting until 7:30 was a major problem, and soup was my favorite way to stay upright until we sat down to a real dinner.
