Boot Scootin' Good Time...

Today was the annual Barn Dance at Jake's school. I had no idea what to expect!!! He was very excited about it and wanted to make sure I was going to wear boots (which I did). They had the gym all decorated and all the Kinder classes were there. Most of the time they spent "showing off" the dances they had been working on. It was pretty darn cute!!! I was impressed that they had so many kids going in different directions and yet no one was injured!!!! I would have gotten better pictures and video if Joshua hadn't been there. He was clearly irritated that no one asked him to be in the dances...so he was making mad dashes to try to get into the middle of everything...which means I had to put down the cameras quite often!!!!
There were so very cute outfits there. When Sophia makes it to Northwood...we'll go all out on her Barn Dance outfit!!! If you look closely in the picture, you can see Josie (she's in Jake's class). LOVE the black and pink tutu type skirt with matching pink and black boots. AND...and a pink cowgirl hat with a tiara on it. Can you beat that???
Class picture at the end. This is Lucy...notice how she got dressed up for the big day. Ms. Cole brings her most Fridays. She's a service dog...one that gets taken to nursing homes and hospitals. The kids get to read to her on Friday as a reward. The kids absolutely love her!!!
The parents were lucky enough to get to participate in the last dance. Yeah!! Love that Old Man Tucker song. It's a toe-tapper!! The video is clips from several of the dances put together. It's a little long...but it cracks me up.
