Mrs. No Fun - Playground Adventures #2

Lucas and I stopped by the park today for a quick swing before going to get a few groceries. It was lunchtime at school so the playground was kind of busy with kids, but Lucas likes that so no worries. Some older girls were swinging on the swings beside us when this teacher came marching over and yelled "ONLY KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE FOUR ON THE SWINGS, HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT CLEAR?!?!".

It's not like anyone else was waiting to use the swings, and you could tell by the way she talked to the kids that she is one of those teachers who likes to tell kids what to do and be in control and bossy. So these girls got off the swings and went and played in the shade. They were making a human pyramid (fun!) and again the teacher marches over and tells them that what they are doing is too dangerous. OK lady, there were only like 5 girls, so this pyramid is nowhere near too tall. Sheesh. I get it that kids need to be safe on the playground and that is why there is a teacher there but let them have a bit of fun. Geez. She was walking by me as I pushed Lucas on the swing and I was afraid she was going to tell me that Lucas was too little, only kindergarten to grade four on the swings.

After the kids went inside this little boy came out of his house across the street in a Batman costume and was doing Batman moves all over the playground equipment. Hilarious. Lucas thought so too.

Two more weeks until nationals. Gulp. Crunch time. Kathryn and I did some sprints yesterday and just about died. Just wait until I have to do 10 sprints in a row with a BC striker breathing down my throat. Can't wait. All kidding aside, it will be awesome that week playing at such a competitive level again, I missed it and I didn't know how much. All the training that comes along with it though, I definitely didn't miss. Come out and see us play:

Thursday October 8th vs. Ontario 6 pm @ Umea E
Friday October 9th vs. BC 4 pm @ Umea W
Sunday October 11th vs. Manitoba 4 pm @ Sasktel E
