Ana wore her beads to school today! It was King Cake for breakfast again (almost gone).

Funny story, someone brought a Kink Cake to our homebrew club meeting on Saturday. There was a 3 year old girl getting a piece and we were saying "Get the baby, but don't eat the baby." She got pretty aroused and started squeaking "Don't eat the baby!!" And ran to her Mom and 10 month old brother. When we explained her mistake, she said indignantly "That's not a baby, that's a toy."

I've got a stack of pictures from Mardi Gras...if I had a scanner I could get this thread locked down in a heartbeat
The wife isn't fond of them...I wasn't married at the time...
I gotta admit though, I am passed the Mardi Gras phase now...the youngins will have to let the good times roll...

Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!, y'all! I know Mardi Gras is rowdy after having been there a couple of times, but I'd still like to be there now! Lord knows with this inner ear virus, I'm already dizzy, so I'd fit right in!

we went to a local restaurant for Margi Gras and it's a BYO place, so we brought the Abita. It seemed only right!
