Today was Gwynie’s final {sniff} Preschool Hero Parade. In the years past you dressed up as a hero from the Bible or as a everyday hero {policemen, firemen, etc}. Here is a picture of Gwynie at her very first Hero Parade:
After choosing a biblical hero, the next year we went with an everyday hero:
This year they added the option of dressing up as something from God’s creation. Well, that just makes the options endless. This is great because you do have endless options but it also makes it hard for a 4 year old to make a decision. After several minutes in the Halloween Aisle at Target we had a winner.
