Forth of July

Ever since we have lived in our sweet city, we have gone to the 4th of July Parade. It is very eventful to say the least. We have entrees like most cities that are City Council members and the high school marching band, but we also have protesters, religious groups quoting scripture hoping to inspire or maybe even guilt people into joining but the best entree this year had to be:Yep, you are correct that is President Abe Lincoln in the flesh, or rather rubber. I am not sure why his wife ( I assume its Mrs. Lincoln) has no legs and is much smaller. A man who has some type of balloon animal company entered a few of these with some smaller group of walkers, as a way to get clients. I have to say if I could think of a reason to need a bigger than most building Honest Abe, I would get one.

*as a side note, I made the girls shirts the night before at 11 o'clock. It was so frustrating because the woman at the store sold me interfacing (used to make cloth stiff) when I asked for heat and bond (used to bond fabrics together). So because I was procrastinating I had to sew on the stars, harder than I thought it would have been. All in all I was happy with the way they turned out.
