Today I helped out with 101 second graders as they had their Field Day. It was pretty fun. I wasn't assigned to any spot, so I stuck with my kiddo as she did the various games until it was time to guard the Wendy's kid meals. My kiddo is the one in the pink hat.
After about four injuries from scooterland with the kids pushing each other, the powers that be decided it would be smarter to have the kids push themselves with their feet.
On to tug-of-war. . . where the team my daughter was on promptly romped the other side four times in a row!
Then they had a bean bag toss. My pics didn't come out, so I didn't post them.
And then the jump rope. Look at the air the kiddo is getting!
There was the hula-hoop ring toss. Boring pics. And then the boy vs. girl relay race. The girls wore shoulder pads and a football helmet, while the boys had to put on a cheerleader's skirt and top.
Uh. . . Girls Rule! Boys Drool! Oh, sorry, girls won again. :-) 
And that was that. I missed Musical Chairs and Four Square since I was guarding the Wendy's.
Mrs. Snodgrass, their teacher, wasn't there so when it came time to pass out the food, I literally tossed the food the kids. I had a blast! The kids and some of the parents that stuck it out think I'm weird, but I had fun and I think the kids did too!
I'd write tomorrow, but we have the an all day soccer fest. With all the rain we've had they've had to cancel a lot of their games. Ugh! First pictures, then warm up for the 10:30 make-up game, an hour break, and then the 12:30 make-up game. An exodus to the nearby Mazzios for a pizza party and the obligatory 'awards'.. Yep, the crappy plastic soccer ball statues. :-)
Maybe next week I'll be able to . . .
Write on!
