Mardi Gras Mambo-Falgoust Style

We braved the wet and stormy weather to catch the Spanishtown parade, we donned rain jackets and boots and said "Let's Do This!!!" The girls caught a ton of stuff and it was fun hanging with some of our friends. Poor things were sopping wet when it was time to leave, but it was all worth it seeing those smiling faces!







The Pre K classes of St Aloysius had their very own Mardi Gras parade. Ella Kate and Addison rode together and they had older students pulling all of the wagons through the Gym. Riley came with us to watch, Ella Kate was so excited about it! But once they rolled into the gym she thought it was way too loud and covered her ears the entire time! It was pretty crazy and Boy was it LOUD!









Krewe of Tots rolled again this year! Luca and Riley rode together and were all smiles pre-parade but once we got into the thick crowds of screaming kids, they were not smiling anymore. Riles looked up at me with a quivering bottom lip and big ole tears rolling down her cheeks. I had to carry her the rest of the way which in turn made Luca want to be carried. So here we are carrying two toddlers and a wagon full of beads and trinkets! Thank Goodness Kevin's Mom was there to take over wagon duty, thanks to her we were able to pull it all off and get rid of all of our throws! We found Ella Kate along the route and Riley walked over to her and gave her a Mardi Gras crown and mask, EK loved it! It was fun seeing all of the kids but exhausting for us Mamas'!!!!
