Krewe of Smocks

Betsy, Sadie, and Lawson starred in the Krewe of Smocks at school. Sadie was a little apprehensive, but Betsy was super psyched to hand out to hand out her throws (thanks for the throws, Gumbo!).

Scarster

My dear, dear friend Scarlet came in town the week before Mardi Gras to visit. We had such an amazing time!!! Scarlet, Julie, and I spent lots of quality time together at Dominique's, Bouligny, Cure, and the parades. Scarlet hadn't been to a parade before so it was so much fun watching her watch the parades. We had an absolute blast and the girls loved spending time with Scarlet. We love you, Scarlet--and we can't wait for you to come back to see us!!!

It's a quarter after one... (That's for you, Scar!)

Carnival Time

I love living Uptown generally. I love being able to walk everywhere and there are so many yummy restaurants, cool coffee shops, and awesome bars within walking distance. And we love walking to the Zoo, the new playground around the corner, the Park, and my sisters' houses. But I looooove living Uptown during Mardi Gras time. It's so nice to walk to parades and we usually make it to every parade.

Pics from the weekend before the "big" weekend:

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

Cute Girls

Here are some shots of my girls posing away. Betsy is very, very inquisitive and asks random questions all of the time. Today she asked me why squirrels store nuts for the winter. The girls like to play kitchen together and dress up and draw. They are obsessed with 'Jake and the Neverland Pirates' on Disney. Obsessed. Now that it's warm they want to be outside 24 hours a day.

Here are the pics...from February...

Here is Sadie making a face like Gumbo makes:

Katie's Super Fantastic Pre-Valentine's Day Cookie Decorating Party

It looked like something out of the pages of Mawtha. Katie done good--real good. The girls had a blast decorating and snacking on delicious treats. Thanks, Katie!

Carville Day

Back in February (I know, so much for my resolution to keep the blog current...) we spent a fun-filled day with the Carvilles and we took some precious pics as you can see.
