Aren't they cute? my 2 boys? i was so proud of them for walking in the annual kids' parade in our hometown this summer...WITHOUT the prodding of their big sisters, who happened to be out of town. In fact, the boys didn't want to at all, until 5:15 when my oldest son mentioned that it might be kind've fun...but they had to be down to main street by 6:00 for registration! We raided the dress up(with 4 kiddos, there's always an abundance of that!) and I'm always happy when no one throws a fit because of limitations on what there is to wear (or eat, or drink, or watch, etc...). So, real quick, they let me style them into a Pirate and one of my fave's of all time...Indiana Jones! They both won first place in their catagories (who cares if they were the ONLY ones in their catagories?!) Thank goodness the judges didn't put them into the same catagory, that could've been disastrous for one to get a blue ribbon and the other not. R got to be in the 'best representation of a Pirate' and G was 'best representation of a movie character.' Truly, the organizers set it up so it's fairly easy to place, falling just short of having catagories like, 'Best representation of a Transformer!' Heck, Star Wars alone could have several of it's own catagories! (and, incidentally, is very popular every year). Still, they had fun, and got to walk up about 8 blocks of Main Street looking every bit their characters, only annoyed when I was near to snapping the 72nd picture of the hour...what troopers!
