To put it lightly, Mardi Gras is a BIG thing down here! The kids even get a 5 day weekend for the holiday. Last Friday, the school hosted it's own Mardi Gras parade with police escorts and special guests, students who are performing really well at Accelerated Reading, and of course BEADS! Beads are everywhere down here. Jenna and I went and watched with the boys and got lots and lots of beads. It was pretty fun. Hopefully next year Henry will actually do AR in class (it holds no weight on their grades so he's pretty lax about it) and Jeff's eyes will be better so he can participate as well. It's a goal for both boys to be in next year's parade so we see how we do over the next 12 months.
