Sports Day at the Kindergarten

1 Comment

Thursday of this week I decided I would take a day off from riding my bicycle and just relax. Maybe read a book or even snooze a bit before I went to school.  It’s not often I do that – the older I get the harder I have to work to keep from getting a large roll of blubber around my middle.  So, book in hand, I settled in on the sofa to catch up on some reading a few of the several books I’m reading now.

No chance. That was the day the kindergarten across the park from me decided to hold a sports day. They had all of the 3-4 year olds out doing various activities while the director blasted cutesy songs and unending directives from a loudspeaker.  No rest for me. I decided I may as well go out and enjoy the little munchkins – they are pretty cute.

Today, was a smaller version of the same thing. This was the 2 year olds turn. Not nearly as big a deal and no cheerleader outfits, but a jillion little ones just the same.  My dog wanted badly to play with them as they had lots of balls and once even ran into the fenced area to chase a ball.  The kids all screamed, some happily, some in fright and we had to vacate the park to calm them down.

Otherwise, it’s been a slow week or so for news.  Hope all is well in your world.
