To be fair, while some of the floats in the parade were awesome others were... well... let's just say it's the thought that counts:) But some were just plain advertising with one string of lights on it. Not kidding, there was a truck from a nationally known retail leader with just one string of Christmas lights on it. Seriously? But hey, the kids LOVED it!
On to the knucklehead, me. Yes, it is once again Winter and I am still in shorts. My general rule is that is if the high is above 30 degrees the shorts are a go. Partly because I just do not like long pants. This goes way back to my High School days. Partly because I carry so much stuff that I need the cargo shorts and partly because I just like sticking it to "the man." :) Hey, I am a SAHD so I can thumb my nose at the man anytime I want. I actually think I am not just entitled to do so but it is down right required of me. Plus, at Church we are always talking about living in such a way to make people wonder what makes us different. Maybe that is my new response to all the looks/questions I get about wearing shorts when it is cold.... "Hey, don't you know that it is cold buddy?" "Yeah, but I love Jesus." On second thought while very funny maybe it sends the wrong message.
We got home around 11pm and it was midnight before the CFO and I got to bed after clearing out the van, starting laundry, washing the sippy cups/dishes, and getting the Triplets' lunch ready for Friday. Was it worth it? Ya sure ya betcha!! Memories are way better than sleep:)
Here is one of the coolest pics that the CFO took at the parade... with no editing.
