Friday was Field Day at school. Last year we flew to Germany for on Field Day so even though the kids enjoyed it (our flight took off after school) I wasn't able to volunteer. Both kids were shocked that I wasn't there helping out that day and told me they wished I had been there. This never happens. It always seems that they don't care whether I'm there or not so I took this to heart. This year, despite my LONG to do list I signed up to help out ALL day for Field Day. Benjamin's class was in the morning from 8-10:15 and then Josie's was in the afternoon from 12-2. I thought "oh, perfect! I can squeeze in a quick swim and run an errand or two in between the two."
Well, that morning, Josie asks me if I'm coming to her class poetry slam from 10:30-11:30. I explained that I was already volunteering ALL day with field day. I swear, I can never win! My desire to please and satisfy should probably be adjusted as it will never be possible. I ended up going for 20
minutes of her poetry slam and was able to still get an extra quick swim in. As much as I was kicking myself for signing up for the ENTIRE day when I have so much packing to do it was really fun to see the kids and their friends have so much fun!
Benjamin came to my station several times to say hello. Josie only came once and it was super quick but another teacher did get a picture of us together. We are REALLY going to miss this scho
ol. The boys in the background of the hula hooping picture hula hooped for one hour and 25 minutes!! They were both just walking around like no big deal. Nuts!!
