Children's Day

June 1st was Children's Day.  A day you are supposed to buy your kids a present and be extra nice to them and let them do whatever they want.  Really?  Yes, really.  Luckily for us, Eli's school had a big celebration, and I hardly had to be extra nice at all.

Teacher Michael and Teacher Mimi (yes, that's what they call them) explaining the activities.

There was a ring toss game.

A hoop race.  That's the beloved Teacher Viviana on the left.

Eli and I doing the three-legged race.

A sack race.  Naomi and Townes were great cheerleaders.

You get the idea.  Then there was a huge, catered outdoor buffet (which led to some discussions with the kids about the difference in style between public schools and private schools...).

Every kid got a big a$$ balloon. 

Did I mention the desserts?

And best of all...a bouncy house!

  1. Your mom is getting me a bouncy house for Father's Day, and I'm not even her father.
