My Pocket Full of Sunshine....Lauren!

Lauren had Cultural Arts night at Timber Drive Elementary tonight! She had signed up to perform a dance routine to Pocket Full of Sunshine. She had practiced and practiced, enough to where I thought she was going to come through the ceiling. When we got to school, there was a schedule to follow based on grade. The 5th graders got to do the performance last, so we had 4 stations to go to ahead before the performance.

The 1st stop was the Media Center for story-telling. Lauren didn't do any story-telling but the girls that got up there were awesome. They told scary stories and the librarian said they thought the 5th graders wouldn't have nightmares. ha ha. They were cute but haunting little 2-3 minute stories. Then we proceeded to the Origami room. We got to make Origami snakes. Lauren and I made one exactly alike. We had to pick 2 color strips of paper and we picked the exact same colors. ha ha. Blue and Black! They made wonderful snakes.

We then ventured down to the line-dancing. Lauren was really getting into it. I tell her all the time she is going to hurt a hip if she throws that thing out there any harder. She just laughs. But she isn't afraid to shake-a-groove or just get out and dance. That's my girl! They did about 5 different dances and the kids loved it.

We then, finally, headed to the auditorium to see the 5th graders that had signed up perform. Lauren got up and did her routine but it wasn't what she had practiced. She told me later that there were boys in the audience and she was nervous. My daughter, nervous? Not sure where she gets that from. I told her lots of boys and girls didn't even get up there and it takes alot to do what she did.... I was very proud of her!
