5th Grade Field Day...

Jacob signed up for four events. He did the softball throw, 400 yard relay race, obstacle course and jump rope. While trying to watch these events I was also suppose to be running the concession stand with Kristy (side note she and I have been there everyday from 7:30 A.M. to almost 4:00 P.M.). I did get to see the softball throw. He did ok but didn't get a ribbon for that event.
In the madness of the concession stand I missed the relay race. Jacob said his team came in fourth. Not too bad. I did get to watch the obstacle course and he was moving pretty fast! I wasn't sure how fast but compared to some of the other kids I didn't think he did bad.
I also got to watch the jump rope contest. He was fourth in that too! Really, why don't they give out fourth place ribbons?!?!?! I went back to my post at the trailer and time was flying by! They did a ribbon ceremony, which I missed! One of the moms came out to say it was all over and she said "Oh, and Jacob won a ribbon!". Yes, my little man won 3rd place in the obstacle course! Sweet stuff. I think it made him feel pretty good. So, since I missed the photo op in the gym we did it out front of the school with the Miller Maverick mascot! I know he could've cared less but it had to be done!
I think I might die of exhaustion before Friday! I didn't realize selling stuff could make you so tired! Of course there is the opening of the day and closing the thing down too. That might have a little to do with it! Oh well, its all for the kiddos and of course Kristy and I have got to spend the whole week together! Can't pass up that opportunity!
