halloween parade.

the day of halloween there was a school parade. it seemed like the worst day to have to get the kids dressed and ready for school and one in a costume. it was pouring rain and the parking lot was filled. i never leave the house late and of course i was late bc i couldn't find blake's halloween shirt. i mean, i bought a shirt and today was the day to wear it! we didn't find the shirt and left for school. my mil was my saving grace that day and sat in the car with little will while i ran into school and got the big kids settled. we took our spot and waited for the kids to come by. thoughts running through my mind thinking what would i do if the baby started crying? how would i get pictures of her? i can't miss documenting the 30 seconds she comes by. this is my JOB! her class was coming by. i saw her as she was looking around at all the people. she wasn't even paying attention as she got her treat.

then i called her name. her face lit up. words can't begin to describe my feelings. but, they are happy.

that costume was hand made by her gigi, who was looking after baby will while we got to go into her classroom and help her change. that night i asked her about the parade. she said how she was looking and looking at all the mommies and daddies and didn't see me. and then, she saw me. i am so blessed to get to come to her "big events". to a four year old this day was a big one for her. what a blessed little girl to have so many people come just to see her! so happy to be a part of it!

of course before we left i had to go take a peak of b's class. :)
