Field Day in the Fall

In an effort to catch nicer weather for Field Day this year, our school district decided to try Field Day in the Fall. It kind of worked, even though they had to move from their originally planned day of Thursday to Friday, due to the forecast. The sun was definitely shining but the wind was also blowing, making for a bit of a chilly one. The children all managed to have fun, regardless!

It was fun for me to be there with both girls. Emma's class was only two stations behind Camryn's on the field, making it very easy to bounce back and forth between the two. Camryn showed off her mad kicking skills, that she has been working on at Lil' Kickers and Emma finished first in round one of the potato sack race.

I have to say the best part of the day, though, was when Emma's teacher paid her a very big compliment. She told me that Emma is so very caring and compassionate in their classroom, always helping out her friends and looking out for them. She is usually the one that puts her hand around their back and walks them to the teacher when they get hurt. One of their Paras was standing there and told me that Emma is especially helpful with their special needs classmate. Of course, this just made me so very proud of our sweet little girl.

We have lots more planned for this month, with a visit to the pumpkin patch next week while the girls are out of school, ballet costume fittings for their December performance of the Nutcracker, Mad Scientist carnival at school, Boo at the Zoo, and, of course, trick-or-treating.
