Field Day!

Field day today at the boys' school was tons of fun!!! I volunteered to help out with the second grade from 9-10 this morning. So, MaKenna, Major and I walked up to the school and we manned the popsicle table. So...we were favorites among the second graders. I did get a few pictures though! They didn't HAVE to do any of the sports...they got to choose, or they could just run around on the playground. It was SO different from when we did field day in the "olden days"! :-) Major was loved by all the second grade girls. In fact, here is a picture with Major flanked by two of Jake's classmates...then Jake is over on the right hand side with a hoop essentially playing horseshoes with hoops! He is in the blue.Here is Jake's class in line for tug a war. His class had two competitions and they won BOTH!!!! GO MRS. KORVES-GUNNINKS class!!!! Jake is in the blue third from the back.
MaKenna spent a lot of her time running around on the playground.As did Jake....
After their field day, MaKenna, Major and I walked home. We went potty, got snack and at 11 we walked BACK to school...I really got my exercise today! I volunteered to help with the fourth grade field day. Once again, I was the popsicle lady...loved among all the fourth graders!! It's soo good to be loved! :-) MaKenna ran around with Cam mostly this time...Major hung out at the playground. He was followed again by many little fourth grade girls. Luckily they were within distance of me so I could see what was going on the whole time. He was in hog heaven though because they just followed him around and let him do whatever he wanted to...within reason of course. Anyway, Cam did a lot of the sporty things. He even let MaKenna join in on a few of them!Here is a picture of MaKenna in the jean capris and pink shirt...next to Cam in the black shorts and brown shirt...about to run an obstacle course together! She won!!! Of course she is so little she could get through the hoops faster!Here is Cam's class waiting for their turn at Tug A War. They had two competitions...they lost one and won one! Cam is in the middle of the picture.
After field day at noon, MaKenna, Major and I headed over to the park across the street and had a picnic with Cam and his class. That was fun. Last week was Jake's class picnic and we did the same thing with Jake. But...as soon as the food was eaten, we had to leave because Major was ready for nap. It had been a BUSY morning. He fell asleep on the stroller ride home, then slept for an hour and a half longer in bed while I mowed the lawn! He was really sleepy!
Tomorrow (Friday) is the last day of school...they get out at noon. I plan on taking them somewhere for lunch to celebrate the end of the school year. Don't know where yet. Any suggestions? Thank you SO much to any and all of you that sent postcards to Jake's class. He got to bring them home today and he had SO many of them!! Thank you to ALL of you!!!
