Well, I was going to have a fun picture-filled Mardi Gras post for you but I guess that is not in the cards for this year. Lola and Jackson did get to go to parades on Sunday and they really enjoyed them. Unfortunetly I forgot the camera (cardinal mommy sin, I know) and so for now I'll just say they enjoyed the time outside and the beads were a big hit. They are still carrying them around the house.

I thought I would be able to make up for the camera mistake when Aaron and I took the kids out for Mardi Gras day. Unfortunately, there was a small fire at PF Changs and Aaron had to work until after midnight monday, all day tuesday, and most of wednesday (days he was supposed to be off). So the kids and I stayed home on Mardi Gras and enjoyed the beautiful weather out in the back yard (and a much needed visit from Grammy, I was starting to lose it :)

So, instead of cool first-Mardi Gras pics, enjoy these from around the house:
