Mardi Gras 2009

Mardi Gras was a blast this year. Mattox loved the parades. He caught lots of beads, toys, cookies, and a ton of stuffed animals. He would wave as the floats went by and bounce to the bands which were, of course, his favorite part. He seemed to pay special attention to the drums. It was hilarious how good he got at putting on beads one handed. He would have stuffed animals in one hand and put beads on with the other. After Mard Gras weekend he insisted on wearing beads everywhere we went, including school. The fuuniest catch this year was a Ole Miss Rebel t-shirt just the right size for Mattox. Imagine that... a MSU Bulldog catching a Rebel shirt! The BEST throw for 2009 was the Peanut Butter Moonpie!!!! They were delicious!!

***I have more pictures but I accidentally took them with a friends camera. It is identical to mine. I will publish more Mardi Gras pictures when I get them from her.

This was one of Mattox's favorite toys caught during Mardi Gras. He blew it and blew it and blew it some more! Mattox made new friends playing football. The weather was a little chilly but very nice.
