As the weather here has been, for the last two months, ABSOLUTE RUBBISH, Sports Day has been cancelled, rescheduled, rescheduled again, cancelled and rescheduled.
TIMES THREE.
Playgroup, Infant School and Junior School. Oh oh oh, not forgetting the Triathlon that the Juniors are doing AS WELL as the blimmin' Sports Day. Argh.
Well phew for us, because one of those events has finally been crossed off the list. (Only three to go. Unless they are cancelled of course. And not rescheduled. Argh again.) Sid had her Sports Day - or to be more accurate, her Sports Half-Hour With A Break For Rain. It was SO CUTE! All these two- and three-year olds, with the dimmest grasp of what they were doing, some fatally distracted by Mummy, others having to be led along the race track by the hand, and all of them so excited by whatever it was they thought they were doing.
There was a Running race, a Pairs race, an Egg-and-Spoon race, a Shopping race, and a Motorbike race. Sid took the Egg-and-Spoon so carefully that she barely appeared to be moving at all, and by the time the others had finished she was practically in a different time zone.
But she won the Shopping race. By streets.

What exactly is a shopping race?
And... you should get used to that kind of stuff, you know, Kit and Beri will go to a footballclub and Sid will probably want to do some balley or whatever and then you have all that fuzz every weekend.
An alternative would of course be to forbid your children joining any club. Like my parents did. I wouldn't recommend that.
This shopping race had, in front of each child, a shopping basket, then a plastic piece of fruit, then another one, then another one. They had to pick up the basket, run and pick up the first bit of plastic, then the second, then the third and then leg it for home. Easy peasy.
And yes, the fun is already starting - Kit wants to start karate soon, which is fine, but Beri and Sid have to come too, and I have to keep them amused for the the 45 minutes of his class in a hall where there is NOTHING for them to do. Hooray.
Good luck for next week with the weather - poor old Kit and Beri. Lucky for Sid, tho - had she been having a word with her new buddy Thor? By the way harking back to the Norse God theme, you might like http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=75898. I cam out as Freya (something wrong there surely?)
Why can't Beri and Sid do Karate, too?
(Exept of Kit not having to share EVERYTHING with his little siblings?)
