Throw Me Some Beads!


Happy Mardi Gras!!! We celebrated Mardi Gras this past weekend in good ole Port Arthur. Saturday, after watching Denise play a double header soccer game and watching her make two goals in freezing weather, we loaded up the car and headed for the parades. My mom wouldn't miss the parade even if it was cold.


We all bundled up and got there in time to see the motorcycles beginning the nighttime parade. The kids enjoy screaming and dancing for beads and we caught bags of beads again. The big items this year were the frisbee that lights up, the bead with the Corona light bottle that lights up, several cups, footballs, frisbees, stuffed flowers and other things. I tried to find someplace here in Houston to recycle all these beads and the other bags from past years that I have stuffed somewhere in the guestroom closet. We only want to keep the very best of the best because there is just way too much!
