End of year once again...
Yesterday morning I did some running around for some last minute items for the 1st grade picnic. When I got to the school it had stopped raining. YIPPIE! They were going to have their picnic outside after all. There were a handful of mothers representing the 4 1st grade classes and we were all running around in the cramped food lab.
Run hot dogs to kitchen
Gather food from all the classrooms to the food lab
Read all labeled items in the JAM PACKED refrigerator
Grab only 1st grade items
Repack refrigerator
Load up on all the items you can carry
Bring to the back of school and go outside
It starts to rain
back inside
stand in doorway for rain to stop
make call to bring all food back to food lab
talk to all teachers returning to classrooms
make decision...
PICNIC INSIDE. WHAT... In the hallway????
We mothers just do what we are told. We had just a couple of minutes to turn the 1st grade hallway into a picnic buffet. We had to grab tables from the classrooms and lay out all the food. What happened to having a back up plan.
They still had a great time. Once they finished eating, the rain stopped and they went outside. I stayed in the classroom with a couple of parents cleaning up after the feeding frenzy. Camdyn was right there... where did she go? I am checking all over the classroom and in the hallway. I was calling out for her and one of the mothers said... "A couple of girls just took them with her outside!" What? You don't think that was important to tell me when it was happening. Sure enough, a couple of girls (not Mckenna) decided to bring Camdyn with her and she said "OKAY". You know those little siblings never know that they are not part of the gang.
After a few trips back up and down the back hill with popsycles, etc. I could finally watch the kids play for a few minutes. There were 100 little first graders and siblings running crazy all over the playground. I found Camdyn who was being watch by my friends and by Mckenna. She was leading the kids in a game of chase. It was rather funny. Even Mckenna's little crush Justin was chasing her. It was almost over before I thought to snap a few pics and video.
