Santa Claus Parade and Other Randomness

Two blog posts in one week? Wow!

We've had a quiet week at home this week. We went out to the library on Monday and to visit Mindy and her kids on Friday (I forgot the camera though). Logan had a great time playing with Bella and Hannah and chasing the girls around the house!

Today we went to the Santa Claus parade in Waterloo. We had no idea how Logan would do since we hadn't been to a parade since last year when he still wasn't walking.

So, we all just sit on blankets at the side of the road, watching cars go by?

We got to "our spot" about an hour before the parade started and Logan did great just hanging around. He ran up and down a small hill behind us, watched the buses come by (he has a fascination with buses) and continually looked up and down the street; although I'm sure he had NO idea WHAT he was looking for, haha.

Running away from Daddy.

Jacob slept through the ENTIRE parade. Each time a big truck blew it's loud horn by us, I checked on him and he was sleeping peacefully. If only he could sleep through Logan's outbursts at home like that...

Logan and I, still waiting.

Ok mom, is it time, yet?

Once the parade finally started, Logan was awestruck. For the first half of it, he just sat on the blanket and hardly moved unless he was clapping along to some music. Our wild and crazy kid just sat there, it was unbelievable. I think he like the bands the best but also liked all of the big inflatable floats. And of course, one of his obsessions right now, the MAIL TRUCK.

The highlight of the parade for Logan.

A pic of the three of us...Logan is in his glazed over state, staring at the parade.

In the Olympic spirit, there were people dressed as the popular Olympic mittens which I thought was pretty cool.

A great picture of Logan waving hi to Santa.

The highlight of the parade for Scott - the street sweepers!

The parade must have been exhausting for Logan since he fell asleep in the car on the way home and continued to sleep as we brought him inside, took off his winter clothes and took him up to bed where he slept for over 1.5 hours!

Tired little boy.

Wiped right out.

Jacob however, was not quite as tired and he played with his toys while Logan slept.

The parade was a great experience, we'll be going to the Norwich Santa Claus parade in a couple of weeks, so hopefully Logan will be just as excited.

Here are a few other shots that I took this week while hanging out at home.

What a sweet little musician...

Turned into a crazy musician!
