Saint Parade

Every year the Second Graders do a Saints Parade at school.  They get to pick their "favorite" Saint, dress up like them and then they have a parade at school to show off their costumes.  They also have to do a report and make a poster, but that's not the fun stuff they remember so we will just concentrate on the fun part here.  Bennett picked Saint Patrick, patron Saint of Ireland.  Why you ask?  Great question, that not even Bennett can answer.  Maybe it's the cool green outfit?  The crown?  Maybe he just likes the name.  Nonetheless, he made a marvelous Saint Patrick.  Unfortunately though he would only wear the beard at home, he ditched it for the actual parade.  I even tried to convince him to wear it by saying he wouldn't have to smile for pictures because no one would be able to tell anyway, still a no go.  Maybe Saint Patrick is really the patron saint of stubbornness and in that case it was the PERFECT choice.
