Pioneer Day Parade

That's right folks -- I'm that far behind.

Here it is anyway -- for my future benefit.

We had a little parade through our neighborhood and then met as a ward for a pancake breakfast at the nearby park.

I didn't get any pictures of that because I was too busy trying to feed children and...quite frankly, myself. But, I did manage to snap a few of our kids on their make-shift outfits.

I hadn't particularly been planning on dressing up so we had to make do with what we had.
The boys kind of chose their outfits, but Isabella really wanted a skirt.

She doesn't own any long pioneer-y skirts. So,.....
I quickly took the curtains off of my back door and threaded some grosgrain ribbon through them to tie them on her and then safety pinned the panels together and taped the hem.

Not my finest work.
But funny. Very funny.
One for our family memory book.

Oooh. Plus, it is a little Sound of Music -- the dress out of curtains.

HA HA! I totally laughed when I read this. And then I thought how clever you are! And then I thought, "Of course,Britney's ALWAYS clever. And modest." Seriously, brilliant.
