Parade and a Party

A few weeks ago we took the kids to the ISU Homecoming parade. We had a great time and the kids got lots of candy. We left halfway through it so we could go to our niece's 6th birthday party out of town. The kids had fun and it was nice to see Dan's mom and sister. We figured the kids would take a nap on the way back home. Wrong! Since they loaded up on cake and ice cream prior to leaving they were absolutely wired!! This was the first time that Bailey skipped a nap. It was an early bedtime that night for sure :)

Here are some pictures from the day. You'll see one picture of Jacob eating cake. The reason for the picture is because all the other kids were seated at two tables in the room and Jacob didn't have anywhere to sit. He quietly went to another room, grabbed a toddler chair, and brought it back and faced it away from everyone else and peacefully ate his cake and ice cream. He wasn't mad, but just handled the situation very maturely. It was almost sad to see him by himself, but I was also a proud momma for how he handled the situation :)
