Every Once in a While I have a Brilliant Idea!

With four boys playing soccer, and our daughter refereeing, we have lots of soccer gear which we keep in a tub on the front porch so the dirty, muddy cleats never even have to come in the house. Works great.

We have soccer practice on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Wednesday is also the night of Awana and youth group at our church. So I was having to load the kids' regular shoes, regular socks, Awana books, vests/shirts, and Bibles into the van when I went to pick them all up from soccer, as well as dinner so they could quickly eat while driving to our church for evening programs.

Then one day it hit me. Why not load up the soccer tub with all the stuff we needed for Wednesday night, put it in the back of the van, and then the kids could take out the stuff they were changing into and put their soccer stuff back in the tub right in our van before even going to church or home.


It's working so well! See, they may not come along frequently, but every once in a while I do have a brilliant idea!
