I turn into a screaming fool at a Mardi Gras Parade!

Pre-Parade




Throw me something mister! Boy, did I rack up tonight. It sure doesn't hurt when you have a cute baby like Maggie to hold up! We got tons of stuff. I had to warn Daisy and Wyatt that I become a different person at a parade. I whoop and holler like a possessed person. Daisy caught the fever too! She loved it. Maggie loved it too, but I think she was in shock. Daisy said she didn't blink the entire parade. It was so great to spend time with such good friends and have such a good time. I felt almost normal tonight. I have to admit that it felt good to get my mind off the adoption for a little while at least! Anne Pearce is never out of my mind or heart, but tonight was a great distraction!


This monkey is the best thing I have ever caught! I was thrilled, and Maggie loved her monkey!





Here are my McVays. I promise Maggie was having a great time even if she doesn't look like it!

Daisy and Wyatt are so sweet to share Maggie with us. We love her so much! Check out her beads.

Mardi Gras, Fairhope style!

I was too busy screaming to take too many pictures of the floats!

What wonderful pictures!! It's nice to grab some happiness and fun when you get the opportunity. That's the way I felt this weekend w/ some friends. I was completely distracted---it felt good!

Ahhhhhhh, a good parade! I am the same way! I didn't realize I was so manic at parades until my family started standing on the OTHER side of the street from me! Maybe just a little hint......
