Here are Julian and Emily posing with some of their Mardi Gras loot. The look on Emily's face is completely hilarious. Julian maintained that same pose for like 6 pictures, LOL. My kids crack me up. You see the white tiger? I CAUGHT THAT!!!!! that was probably one of the biggest items a person could have possibly caught at that parade. i was jumping up and down like a lunatic when i caught that thing, because Emily LOVES tigers. she held it for the rest of the parade. we caught 3 feather boas, too. first time catching boas for us! tomorrow night we'll be going to an even bigger parade, if the weather holds up.

Julian won 2nd place in the Science fair at his school. He did his project on bread mold. It was a lot of fun helping him with it. he is so adorable.
