playgroup on parade

Today was our playgroup and we had a costume parade at the park. We got there a little early so after we got the costumes on Gwen decided that she wanted to go on the swings...uhhh how is that going to work exactly while wearing a big puffy dinosaur costume you may ask, well she is balanced on there some how, and from the look on her face she is concentrating pretty hard on doing that.


So naturally Harrison wanted to swing too, what does a swinging panda look like, well here you go.
It must be kind of strange to be in the seat swing with all of that cushioning too, maybe it makes it more comfy, like you are wrapped in a blanket?
When everyone arrived we started the parade. There were athletes, and whinnie the pooh, magical fairies, buzz lightyear, turtles, Madeline, Indiana Jones, a skeleton, an alligator, and two crazy Barlow kids that couldn't stay in the line.
Here is Harrison marching "out of line".
And where is that silly dinosaur? Ah yes I think she is behind the wodden beam.
After the parade, and tracking Gwen down on the playground. We were able to frost and decorate cookies that Paige made. Mmmmm they were yummy, and Gwen seemed to like the frosting the best, I don't actually know if that knife she is sticking in her mouth was double dipped. Sorry everyone. Sometimes she is so rude like that.
We had lots of fun today. And it was so nice to get outside and have it still be really warm. One more day of the kids and the costumes. I wonder how much more candy we can give to the kids this year. Happy Halloween everyone.

The marching panda is one of the best pictures you've taken to date, LOVE IT!! Are those Pediped shoes? I'm boning up on all the things I need to know as a mother and I just learned what pedipeds are.

well, i think gwen had the right idea yesterday. go straight for the frosting. that's typically the best part of the cookie. both of your kids looked great yesterday. i know the parade was a little crazy and the kids had no idea what was going on, but at least we got some more use out of our costumes, right? happy halloween to you guys as well!!

I LOVE those pictures! It makes me so happy to see them so often! I think that panda marching to the beat of a different drummer takes the cake!...Gwen can have the frosting!
