I took my little one to a Saturday outing for her 1st grade class (they are called "die Mäuse" - "the mice": each individual class gets an animal name and the corresponding stuffed-animal as a mascot each year, and those names are drawn from a hat) at an Island not far away called Grafenwerth.
The outing is explained here:

So, I hadn't seen such dangerous looking weather in a long time, but after some hemming and hawwing, we went out there and almost every kid from that class was there with at least one parent - at an event that is totally optional. It was from 3-7 pm. The kids scampered off to play, with at least one parent supervising.
So, five of us Papa dudes saw a number of soccer balls on the ground, soccer balls that really looked like they needed some training, and before you knew it, the big "kids" were practically scrimmaging soccer. Gotta say, that was fun as he-double fiddlesticks. My legs are now killing me...
So, my little one played and played and played and then one of her best friends came over to do a slumber party; I brought her friend home with us.
The kids mom gave me a big hug and thanked me, this freed them up to go on a date night together. From the sparkle in their eyes, I am thinking they may be making a another child tonight... 
) LOL...
So, once home, we took the pooch for a nice walk and I cooked a quick spaghetti bolognese dinner (yes, [MENTION=45739]Jughead[/MENTION], you missed it again, darnit!! LOL - this time without Tiramisu [MENTION=43625]Mertex[/MENTION]
), then the two drew and drew and Papa composed a couple of new things on the piano, whereupon the two suddenly disappeared and re-appeared in ballet costumes from my daughter's closet and my little one then gave me a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek and said, "Papa, dear Papa, can you compose a new Walz, maybe" - so, with tears of joy and laughter, I whipped out a little ditty in E-Flat major and let the two dance throughout the living room. Well, this went on longer than I realized, for suddenly, it was 10 pm, just about 90 minutes ago. So, suddenly is was rush-rush to brush teeth, sit on the john, get the nighty-night clothes on, read a book and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
They are just adorable and my little one is a pretty good hostess, too.
But I am now so tired, I may just fall asleep right here in USMB...
what a fantastic day it was.
And the weather? Looked horrible, but it didn't rain. Thank G-d for the small miracles in life.
