Is rain in the forecast? I hope not! But this time of year, you never can tell...what with every other ballgame rained out for my little-leaguers this season, I'm now wary of clouds. Come on sun! Stay shining at least for tomorrow!
Tomorrow is the parade. The kids and I got this idea last year. Watching the parade go by last July, the kids turned to me and asked, "Why can't WE be in the parade, mom?" What a fun idea...why couldn't we be in the parade? It's free, you just sign up and the committee lets you know if you made it (which most everyone does), and that's it. Oh, and the little detail of planning and decorating...tiny details...let's do it!
Today is the day-before, and we are scurrying. First, the kids drew up plans for some huge float that would rival Macy's floats, and I had to reign them in...we can't build a volcano shooting out chocolate lava, guys. No, Kiefer, we don't have time to construct a real rocket ship. No, I'm not sewing matching lollipop costumes.
We decided, since this is our first year, to just decorate the van. Yesterday we gathered materials, secured helpers, assigned posts. Today is the actual day to get most of the work done, and the finishing touches will be added in the morning. So, off to create! We'll post pics after the parade and let you know how it went. If you can, come join us downtown! Oh, and pray for sun!
