Book Character Parade

The Kindergarteners at Lucy's school had a book character parade. At first, Lucy decided she was going to be Elsa. After all, we have tons of Frozen books and she already had the costume. For weeks, she said she was going to be Elsa. Then the week of the parade, Lucy came home and told us that her teacher said that no one could use their Halloween costume for the parade. Lucy is one who like to follow the rules, so we had to come up with a new plan. At first she said that she wanted to be Splat, but then decided that she wanted to be Ramona. We had read several of the Ramona books together over the summer and she really enjoyed them. So we put together our costume. . . .

She had her rain boots like Ramona and a bag of toothpaste. (Remember when Ramona squeezed out a whole tube of toothpaste into the sink?) She also had a name tag with the Q of Quimby drawn with cat ears and whiskers, just like Ramona would write her name.

Michael and the boys went to school to see the parade of book characters. Michael wasn't able to get any pictures from the parade because of all the other parents pushing and shoving in order to get pictures of their kids. That is one thing that annoys me so much from other parents - don't they realize that EVERYONE is there to see their own child? Why is that parent's child more important than mine? Oh well . . . that's a topic for another day. But there is this picture of two cute boys, watching their sister! (They don't look quite awake yet, do they?)

One of the parents did post this group shot on the school PTA facebook page, so I took it off of there. It looks like they had a lot of fun!! :)
