Field Day 2009

Another Field Day. Another School Year coming to a close. I still am not totally sold on Field Day (I'm just not an athlete) and today I was in charge of Softball Toss. I was late to Field Day and missed Nana's class. :( Super bummer!! It was the only class I missed out of all the primary grades. I couldn't leave my station it was a 1.5 hours straight of Softball Toss. Nana didn't seem to mind. She knew I was there (somewhere) and that's all that matters.

I was in charge of explaining the directions for Softball Toss. It was better than what the other Mommy did she was the moving target - no, thanks. There were several stations (limbo, parachute, balloon toss, etc.) but I think ours was a bit complex. Why couldn't I get balloon toss or something? That's more my thing. I was explaining to kids that they had to throw their balls (girls first then boys), follow it and whoever were the top 3 in girls and boys would go again to determine the winner. A lot of chasing after kids' balls and talking loudly. I wished I had a bullhorn. There weren't any prizes or anything just all in fun. Fun it was. I'm just again, bummed I missed my Nana.

Our cousin, Kae babysat Madi and I was able to just hang with Dev at the field. He was done when it was time to go he was ready to go. I let Isa come home early with me and Nana went to Nat's house for a play date. Tonight is Isa's soccer party and her allergies are just getting her down causing a sinus headache. So, she is home with me making 30 rice krispie treats for Nana's class.

I did make Isa's class sit around and take a picture for me. My little scrapbooker appreciates it.

And seriously (?!) with those peace signs - I told them no bunny ears like 5x. I guess 1 out of 20 something isn't all bad, right?
