Five Things to Do this Weekend in Urbandale

1. Move your body outdoors.

Walk, jog, bike, push a stroller, take the dog for a walk, shoot hoops, play a pickup soccer game, throw a ball with your kid. While you do, think about the snow you are not shoveling.

2. Wash your windows.

Now you don't have to wait until spring to get winter grit and grime off your home's windows. Check out for squeegee tools to make the job easier.

3. Do any yard work you didn't get done in the fall.

The city won't pick up leaf bags until spring, but you can put leaves in a compost pile and get it started by following the instructions on this Iowa State University guide. 

4. Clean out your garage

Why wait until spring with the weather so nice? Organize your lawn tools. Make a pile of stuff to set out on the curb for the citywide spring cleanup and then check out for some cool storage options.

5. Grill out.

Fire up the grill and throw on some brats or steaks from or . It's a little chilly to eat outside, but perfect weather for grilling.
