Tiny little people

This week is spring break. What that really means is that I can sleep in a little bit, and I can get work done without school getting in the way. I also committed myself to volunteering for three days out of the week, which will get me out of bed and jump-started so I don’t waste it all warm under my covers.

This morning, as I was walking to my volunteer location, I saw something that was so adorable, that it made getting up early totally worth it.

Walking by a school, a little stream of 4-5 year olds waddled out of a building. They were all carrying bags that were about the size of their own bodies, which held helments and skates. They were going to a nearby park for a field trip. There was one little boy couldn’t actually lift his bag, and was dragging it down the stairs as he plodded along.

This made my morning.
