Here are some shots from our preparation for this Saturday's Woodstock Festival Parade. It's a work in progress. The parade happens at 11:00 from 54th and Woodstock to 41st & Woodstock. It's a fun neighborhood community event with local bands, face painting, food, local vendors and more. When I brought up the idea of being in the parade to my kids: C, M and A said "Hurray! We'll be stars in a parade!" C is in charge of costumes. Since we would rather use our organic and natural cotton for our bedding we went through our old linens and are recycling some fabrics to make banners and costuming. We searched the house for yellow to complement the dandelion theme. C's ensemble is nearly set: Some yellow 80's style crochet-knit type shorts, a gold sash, a yellow ribbon, a yellow striped shirt. Somehow she managed to pull it off rather well. Seeing her creativity unleashed with this one is what I love best about her. We have decided butterscotch candy looks most like dandelions so that's our choice of candy to throw to the onlookers (aka-our fans!) Hope to see you there!
