Iron Man Field Day

Oops! I forgot to blog about the fantastic field day we had at Willbern Elementary! Well here we go!

Friday, May 7th was Field Day at Willbern Elementary and while I had kind of been dreading this, it turned out to be a really great day. The reason I had been dreading field day were two fold:

First off - it was supposed to be very hot and humid that day and I really did not want to be out in the heat just yet.

Secondly, Casey and I had the brilliant idea to go see Iron Man 2 at midnight on Thursday. This seemed like a fantastic idea until around 11 p.m. when of course I started getting sleepy (my normal bed time is around 10 pm). Well I am proud to say that I pushed through and the movie was great! I really love the Iron Man franchise and I'm kind of a closet comic book fan... I guess the secret is out! :) We got home around 3am, I got 3 hours of sleep and actually didn't feel horrible on Friday which was very surprising.

Friday was fantastic actually, the kids were in a great mood and were really listening (something that doesn't happen too often toward the end of the school year) and they had a blast at field day. I heard NO complaining from any of my kids all day long which was very surprising to me - I figured I would hear "I'm tired", "It's hot", "I'm thirsty" 1,744,084 times, but nobody complained at all. We ended the day by doing some fun worksheets (a treat for them) and watching some cool sciencey programs on United Streaming. All in all a great day! Here are a few pics:
