Last Friday the local elementary school was having a Veterans Day Parade and we were asked to bring our antique vehicles to the parade. Well, we had just done that last year on the last day of school. So we decided to be a tad different and we took our smallest little mini, Peanut. He is white so we tied blue and red ribbons in his hair, crepe paper around his (very ample) middle and put red and blue bath scrunchies in his tail. (I had hoped that would look like flowers from a distance, but NOOOOO, they looked like bath schrunchies no matter how far away you were.) I thought he was pretty cute. Hubby followed along behind us with a shovel and a garbage can pretending to scoop the inevitable poop and then throw it on the kids. (Sorta like the Boston Globetrotters!) The kids howled when they saw Peanut and went crazy with laughter over hubby. So today the local paper comes out and I read with interest that the Shriners were at the parade and had thoughtfully brought a "pony". Sigh. Now, we have no kiddos in school anymore, we did this just because we love the kids and wanted to make the day memorable. It might have been nice to have gotten a tad of credit for lugging him there.
