Storybook Parade

Today I was invited to Edgewater Elementary for the annual Storybook Parade. Children throughout the school dressed up as their favorite storybook character and walked the parade route along the front of their school for all their parents, friends, and family. Paige and Bree were part of the story "The Very Busy Spider". Mrs. Casey and Ms. Pio decorated their wagon to look like a spider and the girls dressed in all black. It was such a cute sight. One class dressed in their pajamas and had chicken pox drawn on their skin. Each class seemed to have a theme and it was a great way to get all the kids excited about ready. I'm so grateful that our daughters were able to be a part of it.

Here are a few photos from today:

Happy Halloween

The girls and I had a fun day dressing up as our favorite little bugs. As you can see Paige was a Lady Bug, Bree was a Bumble Bee, and I was a butterfly. We stopped by to see Pete before heading to Canal Street to do some Trick or Treating and people watching. After that, we came home and the girls and I gave out candy...the kids were in awe, since we gave out full sized candy bars and M&Ms. It had been a long day and the girls went to bed with little fuss. We missed Connor very much and I'm sure he had a great time! Below is a slideshow of the pictures taken yesterday.
