A weekend in Mobile

2 weekends ago we decided to drive down to Mobile (where Todd's grandma lives) to visit her and Todd's dad and stepmom (who were also there visiting). Lucky for us it was Mardi Gras Weekend! The girls had never been to a Mardi Gras parade before so we took the opportunity to expose them to "Beads"

 AUbrie Kate loved the idea of Mardi Gras...esp. when she learned she got to wear funky clothes and fun hair

 madyson waiting on the parade.

This was our neighbor's set up. they found that couch on the side of the road...notice the net for catching. They were too funny.

After the parade! They were loaded down the beads!!

When we returned home, my mom had purchased the girls some new clothes! They wore them that monday...its amazing what new clothes will do to a kid! Here are their sassy selves

 Both outfits were under $20. One from Gymboree Clearance, 1 from Dilliards!

Oh...The highlight of MY weekend?? I found 2 chairs in the garbage!!!

 and my sweet husband loaded them for me!! Gotta love being married to a willing garbage diver!
