First freezing week of February

It been another sub-zero week here in Iowa. At least there are upper 30's in the forecast. That sounds tropical!

Cool cat!

Intense game of checkers. 

I chaperoned Stella's field trip to the science center. Lots of fun!

It was the big school auction on Saturday. This event raises a ton of money for the school. This year was the 1st time I was on a committee, the decorations committee. I really enjoyed it and plan on doing it again next year. Friday I was at the school all day decorating. The committee had been doing stuff since last summer (I didn't start helping until November), so there was a lot of work put into the event. 

A shot of things getting ready on Friday. 

I was helping cover the walls with paper and saw P's class go by. They were headed to PE which was held in the parish hall that day since they gym was in full decoration mode! 

Saturday was basketball games for both kids. This was Stella's first game and I didn't get any pics of her game! They both had fun! P is in the black jersey. 

Mom was kind enough to come up and watch the kids while we attended the auction. Looking good before we headed out. 

The gym transformed! It looked so good!

A couple shots of the hallways. Each student had their photo displayed by grade. 

Sunday brought us Stella's sectional swim meet, this is where a swimmer qualifies for the state meet. She ended up qualifying in 3 events, 2 relays and 1 individual event (breaststroke). State is on March 2nd and then we are done with swim team!  How they keep busy between events....  Looking forward to a more relaxing weekend coming up. :-)

And lastly since we Iowans always have to discuss the weather. This is what my car read on the way home from dropping the kids off at school.  BRRRR!!!!!
