Today at school was the Spanish equivalent to field day. All day students competed in mini events (soccer, hockey, basketball, relay races, swimming, etc.) against the other class in their grade. I was captain of one of the second grade teams, while Laura was captain of the other second grade team. It was really fun to do something divergent from the average school day, and getting to giggle and chat with Laura the whole time made it even better.
As ashamed as I am to say this, the silliest part of it all was probably how in each event, three kids always ended up in tears! Laura and I would bet on which kids would start to cry before each competition began and then cheer our teams on accordingly! And every single time, like clockwork, exactly three kids would burst out in tears during each event. One was injured, one scored a point for the other team, one ran too slow, one lost... It just went on and on. >_< Maybe we should have had a little more sympathy, but the more kids that started crying for taking things far too seriously, the more we couldn't contain our giggles! Oops... Bad teachers.
I left a little early from it all, as Fridays are half days for me, and went home and decided I would have a lazy afternoon and night. :) Sometimes, you just need to do nothing!
XOXO
