I went ahead and signed up for the PTA this year, now that I am not pregnant and Kadee is in first grade, I felt like I could take on one more commitment...what the heck right! Our first big function of the year was the Soc-Hop. A fifties inspired dance for the kids. I am the volunteer coordinator so I was calling my list of parents (about 75 of them) all week to try and get enough helpers to scoop ice cream for the root beer floats and sundae table. It actually was a very cute event and very well attended by the kids and parents. It was great to see all the girls in their poodle skirts and the boys in their jeans and white t-shirts with their hair slicked back. Several of the parents even joined in the fun and dressed-up. I got Kadee a Pink Ladies costume and she looked absolutely adorable. I don't think she got the whole Pink Ladies though, she kept looking at me VERY confused as I tried to explain. I guess it's time to sit her down and make her watch Grease with me. I wonder if she will like it as much as I do?
The kids had an absolute blast and danced their little hearts out. By no means was this the classic boys sit on one side and girls sit on the other and nobody dances. Every kid there was dancing and several of them even took over the stage, including Kadence (it's a blurry picture but she is the one in the pink on the end on the left hand side)
Everybody jamming out to YMCA!

We also had a HUGE twister game set up outside that was also a huge hit.
