Last week was a super busy week for Bluebonnet Elementary. We started the week off by participating in the Fossil Ridge Homecoming Parade. As a teacher, I have never done this, but Riley thought it would be fun. This year the theme was "Once Upon a Time". So we told all our students (all 10 of them) to dress as a princess or prince charming. I really wasn't sure what I was going to have Riley wear. Alex has lots of princess dresses, but boys don't really have Prince Charming outfits.
Then while borrowing a sit-n-stand stroller from my friend Jenn, the perfect costume appeared. Jenn & I were standing there just talking and the subject of Halloween costumes came up. I mentioned that I didn't know what Riley was going to wear to school, because he wants to be a transformer and you can't wear a mask to school. She suggested I borrow this knight costume. I LOVED the idea! Plus every prince charming is actually a knight in shining armor, right?
My knight in shining armor!
Then my little knight with his princess!

The group standing around and waiting. They told us to be there at 4:30. So we rushed over while snacking on Sonic Cheese Sticks & a coke. I knew it would be a while till dinner, so I wanted to get the kids a snack. I should have brought the snack to our waiting place. Because we waited for an hour and a half for the parade to begin. Poor Alex was so done, before we got started.
Once the parade started, Alex was all smiles. She had so much fun & so did Riley. The only bad thing was I had to carry Alex most of the way. The procession just moved too fast for her to keep up with it. She tried a couple of times, but her legs are just not that long. I was exhausted by the time we finished, but the kids were so excited. Luckily Nana & Gampa had come to watch, so I called them and had them meet us at Fossil Ridge HS, so that we did not have to walk back to Chisolm Trail.
