Spring?

I say that with a question mark because there are rumblings of snow on Saturday.  I'm really hoping for NOT...for one thing that is Prom day.  For another thing it's going to be April 30th.  Today was beautiful though, mid 60's and sunny!  The kids were outside all day playing and riding bikes.  They've had a 4 day weekend and Grace has been playing with our neighbor Madeline practically every minute, they are really good little buddies!





Yikes!  Ben has 4 legs :).

Our snow is almost gone, yay!!!!!!!  There are still a few big piles here and there, but I think we've turned the corner to spring.  The kids were outside all afternoon after school, riding bikes and playing.  So nice!  Our yard is full of gross snow mold though....it's on top of the grass and is moldy looking, yuk. 

Not looking forward to the government shut down.  Really hoping they can come to some sort of solution so we don't miss our next paycheck.  Stressful is the word I've been throwing about. 

No soccer games this weekend either...too chilly and the fields are still in terrible shape.  They're hoping for an April 19th start to the season.  We'll see!

Ankeny Prom 2011

Tyler went to Rachel's prom tonight!  They both looked very nice.  They took a limo with some friends and went out to eat, then to the Val-Air Ballroom for the dance, then back to AHS for After-Prom, then to Rachel's house where Rachel's parents are making everyone breakfast :).  We are heading back to ND bright and early, so poor Tyler will have to sleep in the car on the way home.
