Kindergarten Field Day

Haley had her first field day in Kindergarten. She was so excited about this field day and was constantly reminding me about it. I signed up to bring water balloons and volunteer for the two hours of the actual event, from 9-11. I don't know what got into me that made me sign up for the water balloons but boy was I sorry that I did. Brett was out of town for work so I was on my own to fill and tie up the balloons. It was pure and complete hell!! My fingers actually received blisters on them that opened up and hurt so bad. First note to self...do not under any circumstance sign up to bring water balloons to any function ever again!

A fun letter was sent home days before field day warning us parents that our children would get wet. Knowing that their were going to be water balloons there I assumed that was what the warning was for. With that assumption came the thought, "how wet are they really going to get, I'm sure not that wet." Second note to self...do not assume! Well, I know I have been told before not to assume, but I am not a quick study so I continue to assume...my assumption was way off!! The water balloons were the least amount of wetness Haley received that day!! Which leads me to my third and final note to self for future field days...do not put girls in white tee shirts when they are going to get wet!!

Enough said!!!

More fun field day experiences...

Memorial Day 2009

We had a nice Memorial day, today. We started off our day with a visit to a local convalescent home to dance for the residence there. I wasn't sure how the kids would take to it, how they would behave but surprisingly they were really good and friendly and after warming up a little to everyone they walked around and said Hi and talked to different people. Not everyone from the dance studio went, most of the dancers were from the younger classes, Mikayla's and Cara's. So Sydney and Haley were pretty much on their own. Haley performed here Mickey Mouse Dance with only Mrs. Brenda by her side. She was fantastic. She smiled allot and looked liked she was having allot of fun.

After we were done with the convalescent home we went over to the duck park in Boulder City. Everyone had their swimsuits for the splash pad and a picnic lunch for eating. It was very crowded, but I managed to find a scrap of shade to sit in so I was happy. I forgot a book so I spent most of the time taking pictures, I love doing that. Brayden even went in the water a little, which is unusual for him. He does not like the water spraying on him, but he does like swimming in a pool. After everyone was tired of the water and play park we went over to the lake part to feed the ducks. It was a fun and tiring day, Brayden and Mikayla both passed out on the way home and slept until 4:30 pm when I woke them up!!
