(or something like that–I was a Spanish teacher, remember!)

It’s Mardi Gras time! Time to enjoy King Cakes. Collect some beads without doing anything that would make your grandma blush.  Enjoy some music, food, and adult beverages!

We don’t actually do anything for Mardi Gras, but this year I ran the Galveston Mardi Gras marathon. It was wet, cold, windy, and made for a great story! Thank goodness I have no desire to run 26.2 miles again for a very, very long time! And my very generous brother-in-law gave my kiddos a really impressive pile of beads to play with. So combined with one of my favorite backdrop colors and a willing child (oh, and a kid’s meal from Burger King for the hat–yes, I am confessing to feeding my children fast food this week!) and working with an online studio-lighting workshop through Clickin Moms with the fantabulous Jessica Gwozdz photography–voila!

(I could not convince my model to wear anything other than his camo pajama pants. Oh my)

Let those good times roll!!!
