Field Day/Split Lip/Cots/Another Bug

According to #1, field day was fun. The kindergarten race involved a "Home Depot" bucket (which means the buckets were orange) filled with water and sponges. They had to take a wet sponge to an empty bucket and squeeze the water out. Whoever got their bucket to full capacity was the winner (I am guessing it was a team rather than individual event). There was also a moon bounce. Other than that, I haven't been able to squeeze any other details from the little guy.

The bus ride home from a day of fun at school turned out to be less than stellar. Apparently the substitute driver's grandson punched him...which would explain the bloody lip. Kirkiez called the school and was referred to the Department of Transportation who told him they would review the tape (guess they have cameras on the buses) and get back to him.

Thinking the bus incident was the cause of #1's pathetic mood, I tried to convince him to perk up and promised him as soon as we got the cots, we'd head home to watch the new movie in the mailbox (Arthur and the Invisibles). His mood continued to deteriorate as I frantically attempted to find the cots, which thanks to the sales associate were found underneath some hanging sleeping bags. While I was excited to find them at the very first store we visited, they were substantially more than the $20 quote last night...try $49.99! But, they are pretty cool. #1 also convinced me to buy him a new headlamp and mini maglite...helping to give him a bit of a smile. Once home, I checked his temp and it was 102 and eventually hit 103.5!!! Hopefully he'll have the fever licked in time to go camping.
