Aidan,
This year in K4 @ St. Joseph's School, the K4 classes were responsible for making a float for the Krewe of Carpenter parade at school on March 8, 2011! The first day you found out about the responsibility of making a float, you told me you wanted to be Woody from Toy Story 3 and wear your Woody costume. I said, "Sure! Maybe we can make your wagon into Bronco and you can ride it!" Clearly Mommy didn't quite realize what this meant or how much hard work it would entail! After enlisting the help of your Daddy, Grammy and Nanny and completing some internet research, we came up with a plan. Daddy also had gotten some ideas from McCullough's daddy, Timothy Lawson. The competition was on and we all pitched in!
The making of Bronco:

| The finished product!! |
 |
| Your face during the big REVEAL! This happy face made all of the hard work worth it! |
 |
| He even has a tail!! |
 |
| So proud! |
 |
| Contemplating the lasso . . .in the end, it was a no go according to this lil Woody. Who knows? |
 |
| So handsome! I love it, Aidan! |
 |
| All loaded up in the school gym, ready to roll! |
 |
| Daddy had to rush to get Andrew to school but he made it just in time to help us! |
 |
| Gree came to see you in the Parade! |

 |
| You led the parade! |
 |
| They had to move the parade inside because of inclement weather:( |
 |
| Whose this guy? The mudbug hockey mascot! He was telling you how cool he thought your float was! I don't think you knew what to think of him . . . |
 |
| But, you appeased me anyway and smiled! |
 |
| Avery aka Tangled Princess! |
 |
| sweet McCullough in her crawfish her daddy, Timothy Lawson (right) worked many late hours on! I love it! |
 |
| Mommy helping you! I was untangling the beads and handing them to you to throw! |
 |
| Action shot!! All the kids keep yelling, "Woody!, Woody!" |
 |
| Whew- it was a tough job, but . . . |
 |
| Back to the monkey house for king cake! Aidan, McCullough and Sawyer. . . |
 |
| I love you so much, little man! |
 |
| Pic with Daddy, I think we bothered you b/c we were cutting into your King cake eating! |
 |
| Your mardi gras loot- you wanted me to take a pic of you! |
 |
You decided to smile in this one!
What a fun day that was totally worth all the hardwork! Thankfully we have a few more years until it's Andrew's turn!
