Creative Storytelling and SAND!

Abby's last Creative Storytelling class was this Saturday. I think both Mike and I were glad this was it. Mike ended up with the weekend drive into Minneapolis more than I did, and it's a bit much first thing in the morning on a Saturday. H&G didn't especially care for the drive either, but they had fun playing in the playroom once we got there...along with all the other snot-nosed siblings :-) Anyway, Abby said she loved the class and wants to do another...so, one of us may be making the drive again sooner than we think :-) Below are some pictures from her performance today. The theme of the class was The Fantastical Forest, and the kids made up the story, characters, props, music and dances. Abby was a princess (of course) and her favorite part of the performance was dancing around with her hand-made streamer braclets. It was cute, if not a bit out of control! She seemed very serious throughout the play, and once it was over, broke out into a big grin!

Mike also went and picked up the sand for the sandbox today, and finished the cover for it. He was a bit busy today (not to mention last night when he mulched our entire front yard). All the kids love the sandbox, but Abby seemed to have the most fun, making up stories and playing "treasure hunt" in it. Hannah liked it once she got over the fact her feet were going to get dirty (she's a bit of a neat freak), and Griff jumped in right away.

I wish for SAND!

Enjoy the pictures....I'm off to eat some ice cream Mike and Abby brought back from Dairy Queen!
