we had an absolutely wonderful valentine's day yesterday. reza and i desperately wanted to have a romantic date night, but since we did not have a babysitter, we had a lovely day with the kids! what could be better than spending valentine's day at your first mardi gras parade in louisiana! we collected about 400 bead necklaces among a gazillion other things (such as a my little pony, a plastic sword, candy, stuffed toys, hacky sacks, and even a cold hotdog- which reza ATE!) so entertaining and so much fun!
valentine's morning! at approximate 6am all gifts were open.
parade love.
can you say goof balls!
the beginning had me a little worried.
and then i got even more worried as the dixie soldiers came by...
but soon reza got his hotdog and i new things were going to get better! (six beers will encourage you to eat a cold hotdog thrown from a random man on a big float.)
What a fun Valentine's Day / Mardi Gras parade!!! Love your photos. You're such a great mom. You inspire me to be more crafty - to add the special touches! Now, just have to move past inspiration to actually doing .... xoxo
