This looks like so much fun, and I second your children's belief that it needs to be a yearly occasion until the end of all time.<br /><br />The float and costumes are so stinking impressive, especially knowing the time crunch you were under. I love them all! Ineke as parrot, though, is probably my favorite. Those wings are perfection. (Actually, HER wearing the wings = perfection.)<br /><br />Congratulations and a second hurrah for good measure! Parades and pirates deserve them.<br /><br />p.s. When you told me at church that Matt wanted the float to be "A Peck of PIOUS Pirates," I was a dope and thought you said, "A Peck of PIE IS Pirates," as in "A peck of pie = pirates." I was so confused by the pun until the girls explained it on the way home. Aaaaah! That makes so much more sense!Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030527178801056471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-88358685460602619242017-07-02T19:18:48.346-05:002017-07-02T19:18:48.346-05:00Hi!

Frequent reader here - and I think your family is just lovely!<br /><br />I've always thought that To Kill a Mockingbird was a reference to what Atticus told Jem - he could shoot any bird he wanted except a mockingbird, who was a helpless and beautiful bird. I think that the title paints Tom and the other underprivileged of their community - as mockingbirds.<br /><br />Just my 2cents! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974386534950471519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-35059756385277057202017-07-01T09:54:13.671-05:002017-07-01T09:54:13.671-05:00that is what traditions and memories are created w...that is what traditions and memories are created with...you can eventually invite others to join in the float (and the work)<br /><br />Enjoy the work, and after 5 years or so...make an album (snapfish) of it...(include those costume parties..)<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208020715021836119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-66282113181167417442017-06-29T09:16:03.282-05:002017-06-29T09:16:03.282-05:00Looks like everyone had a great time!

To answer your question about the book,...Love it!! To answer your question about the book, a mockingbird is a symbol of innocence and the theme running throughout the book is the death of innocence. It's a great story but yes, I cringe at the same bits.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813884721045918546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-20933320892528739242017-06-27T12:44:28.138-05:002017-06-27T12:44:28.138-05:00Well No WONDER You won again!
