School is Fun!

Cat has had some fun activities at school lately. Two weeks ago was Field Day. Cat participated in the balloon popping relay race (not pictured), the potato relay race:


the tug-of-war:

and the 50-yard dash:

I missed the first activity (balloon popping) and when I got there a couple of parents said to me, "Cat is so fast!" I hadn't thought much about it, but maybe she is? She is one of the youngest kids in her class, since she doesn't turn 5 until July, yet they did 3 heats to determine who should represent their class in the 50-yard dash, and she won all of them. Then she won the race against the girl from the other class. Now I'm wondering how we can foster this little gift she has. Any suggestions?

Then, last week, Cat's school had a Spring Fling day, complete with bounce houses, a dunking booth, picnic lunch, face painting, a hayride, snow cones, bubble time, and more. Here are the kiddos during Spring Fling.

Eliza stayed in the Baby Bjorn the whole time. She was such a trooper! Cat loved every minute of her busy fun-filled day. Jack's loved his snow cone, and had a fit every time I tried to drink some of the juice out of it to reduce the amount of liquid I knew would inevitably end up on his shirt. He still managed to have a completely blue shirt from the neck down, and when I changed his clothes, his stomach was all blue too! (No picture of that--sorry.)
