Day by day

So we didn't make it to a Mardi Gras parade like I wanted but that's OK. I'll get to wear my fabulous new hat next year! It rained really hard here the day of the parade and also the one I thought we'd go to was well...not family oriented like I thought. Mike was told by several people and we talked to a lady we didn't know and she said NOT family oriented. I said, " But, there's an alcohol free family area" She was like yes, but you still get to watch all the adult raunchy floats go by. She actually was going to be on a float and showed us a pic on her phone, ok, don't want the boys seeing that. Mike was out of town on other potential days and we missed some already, so no biggie, we will just be better prepared next year! 

This is the back of my hat! Love the champagne glasses! Party on!! Can't wait to have my own Mardi Gras themed party....hmmmm...cookie party!!YES!!  :-)

I made this quick yummy treat for the boys tonight that I found on Pinterest. They are mini banana splits. Although, I just knew I had whipped cream and didn't but I made them anyway and boys loved them! So easy!!

HAPPY DAY! Our house closed today! Yay! We are so excited! We close on the new house this Friday and will move in on Saturday!! Yippee!!! This is a very happy week! What a great day to close today on Fat Tuesday!! hee hee, I'll eat my King Cake plenty tonight to celebrate! I have decided to give up chocolate for Lent. Now this is going to be a real challenge, but I know I can do it!!
