Let it snow......

Of course the year we move to the south they have record heat in the summer and it snows for the first time in over 6 years!! It snowed all day yesterday and was like 33 degrees so it didn't stick at all. Then last night it continued to snow and actually had some accumulation. It was kind of funny yesterday at work....Ann said" Look at those crazy birds out there in this weather. Aren't they supposed to fly south for the winter?" Then Carolyn said"It is the south". So of course the schools are closed and my boss decided for us not to come in until 11:00, so I am getting the morning off and thought I would post some pics.. The kids across the street are trying to make a snowman... I think it will probably melt by the end of the day because it is supposed to be like 36 or so but they look like they are having fun..

King Cakes

Oh, my goodness! Has anyone had a king cake before? They are a traditional Mardi Gras cake that has a little "King" burried in the middle somewhere. We had one today at work and it was delicious. Ours had a cream cheese filling , but I guess they can be filled with whatever and looked more filled that this picture.I am trying to learn about Mardi Gras history because I know that it has alot more to it than showing tatas and getting beads. I will keep you updated on that stuff. Eventhough we aren't in New Orleans, Mardi Gras is still a big deal here they have like 5 big parades that apparently people camp out for, grill and have a good time at these events. I want to go to one next weekend and will let you know how that goes.. They also have a parade for pets next Sunday, so if I get ambitious, I might take Jo and Goonz (Foxy and Maddie) I call them by their nicknames more than their real names! haha

Trying this out

I see other people's blogs and love reading them. So, I am trying this out on my own. What the heck, I might have more to say than I think!
