Fun days....

On Tuesday Riley had track and field day for the 4th graders from all of the elementary schools in our town. Thank goodness it was an absolutely beautiful day..73 degrees..sunny..slight breeze..gorgeous!! They were each assigned different relays to take part in and then the big finale is the tug of war contest where each 4th grade class has a team and the last team standing wins a trophy to keep at there school until next year..this year our school didn't get it..but they all had a good time.

Yesterday Ryan had his track and field day for the 5th grade and he was on the tug of war and they WON!!! So on Friday they get to have a party to celebrate getting the trophy..he was so excited he called me at work yesterday as soon as he got home from school to tell me.

Today they are doing Tree Trust at school..so they get to spend another full day outside weeding, laying down new wood chips, planting some new trees and shrubs, and just making everything nice looking. It is really a big deal at our school to do this every year and they do have a very nice outside area and it is very well taken care of.

And now we are on the count down of school days left for this school year..only 5 1/2 days left including today. I really don't understand why they do the 1/2 day...they bring all of there stuff home on the last full day of school so it is not like they have anything to do..oh well so be it!! I can't wait for school to be out so that we don't have to be so scheduled...even though I am the queen of schedules...I am ready for some relaxation at night.
