Here comes Mardi Gras...





This weekend, in addition to being Valentine's Day, was also the kickoff to Carnival season. Friday night Bobby took Reilly to the parades uptown, which he loved...he came telling me all about the floats and the beads. Unfortunately, I am recovering from foot surgery and won't be doing any Mardi Gras stuff this year. I am not a huge MG person, but we have certain traditions that we do every year,and I am sad to be missing that. This is also the first year that Reilly will really "get" Mardi Gras, and seeing pictures of him at parades,etc. is not the same as seeing that look of wonder and excitement on his face in person. So, I am kind of a sad momma right now.
For the past few years, Bobby has been riding in the Krewe of Babylon parade. This afternoon was their annual float preview party, where the Krewe members and their families can come see all the floats in advance of the parade. Bobby took Reilly, and it seems like he had a good time.
