Snow and Songs

Last Saturday we finally received snow in central Iowa and it was AWESOME snow for playing in, building with and sledding in!! Saturday afternoon Mike and the kids spent a lot of time playing in the snow (I was busy getting ready for an evening out with Mike----had to doll myself up! ha ha!). Sunday afternoon we all went sledding at the very popular sledding hills, also known as Waveland Golf and Country Club in the summer months. We had a blast sledding. It was so much fun. I didn't have my camera, but I wish I would of remembered it!

Playing in the snow Beautiful snow covered tree across the street.


Building an igloo.



Stella built this snowman all by herself and she was very proud! (And a little mad that Porter got to be in the photo with her, when she did all the work!!)



The finished igloo. Crappy photo b/c it was from my cell phone. The kids had come inside and gotten cleaned up and warmed up and Mike was still outside making the igloo. Stella saw how awesome it was and had to get her snow gear all back on to go out and play again!


Friday afternoon Stella's class had their First Grade Informance. They don't have a "true" spring concert, instead they put on this show for us. It was very cute! They sang 7 or 8 little songs, most with motions to them and some had little musical pieces like bells and stuff. She's in the front row second from the right. For those of you who know Michelle (Rychnovsky) Potthoff her daughter, Abby, is in the front row on the far left in the red dress. Friday was Mission Jeans Day which is why most of them were not in uniforms. (If you bring a $1 in on Mission Jeans day the student does not have to wear their uniforms. The money is donated to a different charity each month).


This was cute, it was the Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack. All dressed in black, black, black.... song brought me back to my elementary school days!


Dancing and switching partners. Then they got to pick a person from the audience to bring up and dance with. Lucky me....Stella picked me! Good thing Mike didn't take any photos of that! ha ha :)
