We have been going to church where the kids go to preschool for about 6 months now (hard to believe actually-and although we loved our old church as well we are finding it much easier to be very involved and have church be more than just a Sunday thing) and one of the things were are really enjoying about it are the Wednesday night dinners. Every Wednesday night there is a meal (with a family cap of $20, which you can't beat) and Lila and Bennett have choir practice during that time. The kids enjoy spending time with church friends, and I enjoy the socializing and not having to cook! :) David rarely makes it home in time, but they offer "to go" boxes and so it works for all of us!
The Wednesday before Mardi Gras break they had a parade with all of the kids through the gym. I wasn't really sure what the deal was with this, since it was our first time, and so I called my neighbor (and Elise's friend Reese's Mom) Stacy to get the scoop- last minute, of course. With all that was going on this week having them make floats for the parade had totally slipped my mind (and hers!).
Luckily we work well together and we totally rigged a box with some ribbon in the parking lot, which was pretty much the saddest float in the parade- unbeknownst to our children, who had a blast and thought it was totally fab!
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, and so I had to document to make sure I didn't forget that awesome memory.
Elise and Reese in their rigged up float---pretty impressed it lasted until the end of the parade..although notice the "Oriental Trading" showing on the sides...ha!!
