Cinco De Mayo

Luke chasing after his buddies

Today was Luke's field day. I personally wouldn't call it your "traditional" field day. There were no long jumps, races or hurdles involved like it was in my elementary school. For us it was all about winning as many ribbons as possible. I think I came home with 2, 1st places one year. It's unfortunate that the "everyone is a winner" has been instilled in kids these days. I think it has taken the challenge of what it really feels like to accomplish a personal goal. I am not knocking that everyone should get a fair chance, but I like a little competition now and again. Regardless of how I feel my kindergartner had so much fun. They had several stations they rotated through. I happened to come at the squirt bottle one. I had to stay clear due to my camera, but was able to capture some pretty cute faces.

The next station I witnessed was the tug o war. The rope was in 4 sections, so I am not sure they realized no one could really win. But, they did enjoy pulling with all their might.

Luke fell a time or two and I couldn't resist how he held his hands out in disgust. He was soaked from head to toe. He most definitely takes after his mom.

I managed to get a snap shot of him with Mrs Hughes (his teacher). I really have her to thank for such a wonderful year. He has come so far and just LOVES school. In between preschool drop offs and a trip to the grocery store. I discovered this awesome serving bowl, perfect for today's celebration. Gotta love the local grocery store...

I love all of the vibrant colors!

Doug's office put on a Cinco De Mayo lunch for all the employees. I would have to say it was more of a feast than a lunch. We had and entire conference table spread of food! I guess it's a good thing I ran 8 miles this morning. Happy Cinco De Mayo to all!!
