University of Alabama homecoming parade 2012

Continuing the homecoming festivities...

I took the kiddos to the homecoming parade on Saturday, and again met up with seester and Chad because he got us the hook-up with an awesome parade viewing spot, yet again, at the judges table. Oh how lovely it is to push a double stroller across campus and be rewarded with a front row seat to the parade goodness. And by the way, it's Tuesday now and my thighs are still feeling the burn.


The SGA Prez on campus (if I'm remembering correctly) announced the parade right next to us, and began by letting the judges introduce themselves.


Seester addressed the crowd with one of my babes betwixt her legs.
Literally.


And then, the parade began...












































and just like that, it was done and there was a sea of Crimson and White in the street again.

Just to prove I was actually there, I got mum to snap a quick pic of me and MM, who was sweetly telling me she was ready for a nap.


And since I love comparisons, here's a pic of the girls from last year's parade, which tells us two things:



1. Yes, I put them in the same houndstooth dresses. Again. They still fit, and I made them with my own two hands bygolly.

2. It was like, way hot last year and super cold this year.

Pumpkin patch pics are up next, followed by (fingers crossed) fab pics of my costumed children.

Happy Tuesday!

Shop update and some cheap tappers

Howdy friends! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I (finally) listed the Matilda Jane mesh bag hair accessories in the shop, along with 5 new sets of pillow covers.

And reason #428 why ebay is the bomb-diggity:

Eliza started back to ballet last week and had outgrown ALL of her ballet and tap gear. While ballet shoes and a new leotard were quickly picked up on the cheap last week, tap shoes were not. I type 'girl tap shoes size 9' into the search bar of ebay yesterday and the first listing is for a pair IN THE BOX that closes in 16 minutes, and get this- they're currently at .99 with no bids.

I won those puppies for .99

It will cost me more to ship them here (9.00) than the actual cost of the shoes, but a score none-the-less.

Yes?


(I must say that when I asked E what her favorite part of dance class was last week, her response was "Tap-shoeing". That girl has musical theatre in her blood, I tell ya. Makes me smile.)

Happy Monday!
