i guess it's about that time . . .

to give this little buddy man a hair cut.

it's going to kill me to do it . . .

but i can't handle the hair in his eyes any longer!

(and i'm thinking it's about time to get rid of that sucker in his mouth too!)

happy weekend!

less convenience . . . more homemade . . .

this is one of my goals for the new year . . .
to make more from scratch and buy less processed junk!

we can go thru a bag of frozen biscuits in no time.

i know it's not only good for us to eat homemade . . .
but it's so much less expensive too!

i made a double batch of biscuits and stuck them in the freezer.

now i have a big bag of frozen biscuits in my freezer . . .
and i know every thing i put in them!

*******

i love sugary treats . . . our littles love sugary treats.

so i had to make them a special breakfast treat . . .

and they just loved having coffee cake for breakfast this week!

love these . . .

read this . . .

and then read it again . . .
and then read it one more time and let it soak in.

now check this out . . .
and read it a couple of times too.

are you inspired to do better now?

me too!

(this is a completely unrelated picture of 4 little monkeys jumping on the chair in their mom and dad's bedroom because what's a blog post without a picture?)

i scream . . . you scream . . .

mama said . . .

we . . .

need . . .

ice cream!

now back to your regularly scheduled blogger . . .

thanksgiving . . . christmas . . . new year's . . . super bowl . . . and now mardi gras have all come and gone so quickly! and today the weather is beautiful . . . and i'm ready for spring!!

saturday, sean and i did some serious cleaning . . . i cleaned the house and he cleaned the dog. both were equally disgusting!

today is the kids first day back to school since mardi gras. kids in new orleans get a whole week off for mardi gras. it's great because it usually takes at least that to recover from mardi gras! mardi gras is always a blast and we always go non-stop so it's actually nice when it's over . . . at least for me.

we had a nice visit from my mom, aunt, cousin, and 2nd cousin during mardi gras! it was wonderful to have the extra hands around the house! and it was fun to share their first mardi gras with them! and it was wonderful to have babysitters while sean and i went to the orpheus ball . . . and got to meet sean payton!

while we were at the hotel getting ready for our fancy night i got a text that little miss lost something . . .
i can't believe our (big)baby girl lost her first tooth! i was excited for her . . . but so sad! once the teeth start falling out . . . they just don't look like babies any more! she wasn't thrilled with the idea that her tooth was going to fall out . . . but now that it's out and the new one is already starting to come in . . . she is wiggling all the others around to see if they are loose. i keep threatening her and telling her that i am going to superglue them all in so she can't grow up anymore!

happy monday!

be back soon . . .

we've had a lot going on the past couple of weeks in the big easy . . .
you know like winning the superbowl!!!!!

tonight the whole city gets to party with the lombardi . . .
as the entire saints organization and the lombardi trophy
parade thru downtown new orleans in true new orleans fashion.

new orleans knows how to party . . .
and new orleans knows how to put on a fantastic parade!

this is history . . .
and it's so much fun to be a part of!

all of this superbowl fun is right in the middle of mardi gras!
i have a feeling this will be the best mardi gras new orleans has ever had!

WHO DAT!
