Advent 2013
Dec. 1st, 2013 10:27 amYeah I know my titles are kind of not up to snuff right now. Brain fuzzy.
Yesterday Caroline’s Girl Scout troop walked in one of the town parades that are prevalent on Long Island. We arrived at 5:30 and spent the next 45 minutes trying to figure out where we were suppose to be in the parade. Around 6:30 everything got sorted out and we marched the mile of the parade route. I swear this parade was almost twice as big as last year. The girls had a lot of fun. The parents got to walk with their kids. The girls took turns holding the troop banner and waving to the crowd. It was very cold but not windy like last year. By the end of the route everyone was talking about warm drinks in their future. Caroline had a lot of fun. I bundled her up really well so she came out the other end not worse for wear.
Today is about getting things ready for Caroline’s sleepover. I want to give the floor its fall wipe up so I have to get everything off sections of the floor to do so. It takes about two to three days to get all the way around the room along with all the side cleaning that happens during the day.
Also since it is going to warm up, it is time to put the holiday lights up before the temperature drops again. So that is on the docket as well.
I am grateful for warm boots while marching in a parade.
