MARDI GRAS!!!

Just wanted to do a quick post... Robert had to work tonight, but my sister Ginny and I took the boys to the Gautier Mardi Gras parade tonight. We had a really good time. And for a two-year old, whose Mama didn't bring any toys for him to play with (Bad Mama!), Robbie actually behaved very well. Much better, in fact, than quite a number of other kids/tweens at the parade... The only time Evan really made a fuss was when the motorcycle cops were coming through at the beginning. Then he calmed down and we all enjoyed the parade. This was both boys' first Mardi Gras parade. I think I like Mardi Gras a lot more now that I have children. They got a lot of stuffed animals, cups, beads, etc. I just ate one of the moon pies and it was pretty good! :) I am all about everybody having a good time at Mardi Gras. But now I really appreciate it when there is more of a "family friendly" atmosphere.... :) Happy Mardi Gras, y'all!!!
