This morning BJ's dental office entered a float into the Dixie State University Homecoming Parade. We've entered a few parades before and always have a great time. This was the first parade that the boys participated in. Usually they find a nice spot along the parade route with Nana and Papa to take full advantage of the candy-collecting. However, this time encouraged them to join us in the parade.
After getting them ready this morning I went into the bathroom to get myself ready. Knowing we were going to be riding on the float, I curled my hair a little more than usual. I also put on a bit more make-up, specifically I put on a little more eyeliner than usual.
When I walked out of the bathroom to head the kids to the car McKay looked at me and did a double-take. Then he said, "Mom, you look different than your usual self."
I asked, "What do you mean, McKay?" Thinking maybe he was trying to tell me I looked nice today.
He replied, "You look different...kind of like a witch."
"What?!" I said, rather horrified.
Once he realized he had made me feel bad he quickly backpedaled, "What I mean is that you look really pretty today, Mom."
I felt like a million bucks heading to the parade, let me tell you.
