Fabulous Field Day Fun

When I offered to help out Sydney's Kindergarten class by being
Room-mom for the last semester I hoped that I would do a good job.
That I could find time away from the other kids
to show Sydney she was important too.

Besides putting together 2 parties I was able to join her at
"FIELD DAY".

The 6th graders organized events for the younger students
to participate in. Activities that would challenge them physically.
At times I had to improvise with ideas to keep them entertained,
but it was well worth it!
(even with the bumps, bruises, scrapes, whining...)

ARE YOU READY FOR A TUG OF WAR?

Mrs. Leahy and I even challenged the whole class.

Sydney has always loved hula-hooping.

And I think she's finally mastered it!

I don't know how "physically" challenging it is to
balance an egg on a spoon.
Let's just classify that as working the "fine motor skills"!

Go, Sydney, Go!

Before she hit the ball I warned her not to hit me.
As you can see by the ball in the bottom-right corner
of the picture...she was awfully close to getting me!!

Of course the bounce houses/racing courses were the biggest hit!

UP, Up, up!

And as my parents always said on roller coaster rides...

"What goes up, must come down!"
