Christmas Parade

These are pictures from the Christmas Parade we went to. Here is a funny float all about the 9-12 project. Notice the "presents" titled clash for clunkers and stimulus. We all clapped and cheered as they went went by!



Now, here are some cheerleaders all dressed up like elfs. They were handing out little megaphones to kids and Piglet got one!



This is what he did after that to try and "hide" from the rest of the girls! It was funny, and they all thought he was so cute!



Here's the group we came to see.



Peach rode in the fair! The sun was shining right in her face and this was the best picture we could get!



What Christmas parade would be complete without a Santa on a firetruck?



And the best float there? The true meaning of this season of course!!



We had a blast. It was cold, but the sun started to come over to our side just before the parade started so we got the sunshine the wholetime which made it not so freezing. Peanut was in his sling and slept in his toasty warm cocoon the whole time.

Day of Errands

I am running out today to do a ton of errands. I do not like going out into the "Christmas crowds" of impatient people! But, if I don't go today, I am gonna run into it worse once school lets out. So, off I go to run all over town.

It is the first time we have gone out like this since the baby, and that makes it so much worse, since I have so much piled on to do from not doing it earlier. Pepper needs new sneakers, Peach needs some stuff for the horse, I need to get some socks and bibs for the baby, Pear needs to get some stuff for Christmas crafts, Piglet just wants to get a cookie, I have to run to the vet to get some dog medicine, the grocery store for food, take a package to my mom's, I wanted to wash my big winter comforter which doesn't fit in my washer so I will drop if off at the laundry mat on my way to the grocery. I really need to go to Sam's club but I am not. I think I will just get that stuff through the food co-op instead, it will be easier.

So, that cuts it down to what, no less than 8 stops right? I refuse to go to Walmart this time of year, I know it would save a couple stops if I went there but it would cost me so much more time I do believe. Plus, people are not in a good mood this time of year there

Whew, I am almost out of breath from just typing this...And of course I will have to stop along the way to feed the baby. We will probably meet Mr. Brown for lunch, and I hope the rain we are supposed to have holds off until I come home. Luckily, dinner is in the crock-pot already so that is out of the way.

I plan on posting some pictures tomorrow.
