It felt like a big blur of a day...one thing ran right into the next so I'm calling yesterday's adventure, "MarketJumpRopeValentine's Day".
Market Day was a success with many vendors selling out of their product. Jamie painted wood hearts that Bill cut with the scroll saw, and turned them into magnets. There were lots of creative wares for sale!Jump Rope for Heart was an event of somewhat organized chaos. Put 300+ 2nd and 3rd graders in a large room, give them jump ropes and turn them loose...really??? I'm actually surprised that there weren't more accidents involving kids (or adults) getting hit with ropes. They jumped rope for an hour, well, they were in the gym for an hour...some gave up on the jump rope thing fairly quickly. Though I do think that Jamie was actually getting the hang of it toward the end. They were rewarded with stickers, a ribbon and a popsicle for their effort. Jamie raised $181 for the American Heart Association!
The blank stares of the kids sitting down eating their popsicles say it all...they were so exhausted! But, nothing that a little Valentine's sugar couldn't remedy, so they boarded buses and headed back to school to exchange valentine's cards and treats.
(Austin was feelin' the LOVE!!!)
