Wherever you are, I hope your day is filled with fun!
We got to celebrate the Mardi Gras season in Shreveport this year by going to the Gemini parade last weekend...and we had a ball!
Evan stayed back home with Nini and Papa due to the cooler weather conditions but Thomas braved the weather to hang with his mom and dad at the parade. He was ready to catch some beads! (or so he thought...)
We bundled up and headed over to a lot that our friends, the Speckmans, had reserved for the parades. Now, I've grown up in Shreveport and have never had the luxury of being over on the "lot" side of the parade. It's pretty cushy! You have your own port-a-potty and everything! Plus we didn't have to battle for road space with other parade attenders...I'm a fan!
It was good food, great beverages, and even greater company! It really was a lot of fun to cut loose and get into the Mardi Gras spirit!
Some pics of our party, pre-parade:

| Me with T, still refusing to take a picture with his eyes open |

| note the football in T's hand...these were his coveted possessions...all he cared about |
Throw me somethin' mister!
We got lots of beads...
lots and lots of beads...

| yes, that's Thomas crying in the lower left hand corner...he was spent... |

I think by the time we saw Thomas that evening he was no longer speaking coherently. He was pooped! It's a lot of excitement for a little one!
Yes, he was quite comatose when we saw y'all! Poor thing comes by his dramatic-ness honestly =)
