Parading Time!

So the original idea for Sunday parading was to celebrate Nick's birthday, dress up like garden gnomes (group theme) and have a good time. Well, the stomach virus had other ideas. Sarah, my mom and I took the boys down to St Charles for the Uptown parades on Sunday while Adam and my dad were home sick. We had the boy's ladder set up and ready to go thanks to Sarah's awesome friends. Nick was cooperative and wore his gnome costume and sat in the ladder seat. Ben wanted nothing to do with either one...The boys lasted about a parade and a half and then they were done. Nick was tired and hungry and Ben was in need of sleep as well. The boys got a few throws, including a spear and tomahawk for Ben (grrrreat, just what he needs) and although it wasn't exactly according to plan, it was still fun!
