So I've never taken the time to just "journal" on here, but today is a day that demands this type of attention. It was COLD today...about 24 degrees or so, but the girls wanted to go to the 57th annual Concord Christmas Parade. It started at 9:30am. We put on our winter clothes, grabbed several blankets and drove to the perfect parking spot...the parking lot of the local Walgreens Drugstore. I think the girls were expecting something more along the lines of "The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade" that we have watched on TV and were a little disappointed...after the 5th emergency response vehicle and a long line of combat vehicles, the girls were rewarded with a couple of bands, a unicycle group, and finally Santa wrapped up the show. Kayla was particularly thrilled with Santa. They watched most of the parade from the car after Cassidy declared that her feet were frozen. It snowed while we were watching. According to the announcers, it was the 2nd coldest parade in history. BUUUURRRR! Sadly it was too cold to take any pictures and even if we did, they would have been sad pictures of our cold little ones stoically waving at the seemingly never ending line of military vehicles. They actually got excited when one of them showed some personality by attaching a wreath to the front of the vehicle. It was just THAT much fun.
On a cutter (and warmer) note, the girls spent some time playing together today. They have developed a deep appreciation (bordering on obsession) for all things "Batman" related. They were role playing. Cassidy wanted to be Cat-Woman. I overheard this dialog:
Kayla: Cass, why do you always want to be Cat-woman?
Cass: Well, it's like this. I like cats. And I'm a woman. Cat. Woman. See?
Kayla: Oh yeah. I get it now.
Funny, funny girls.
