Parades & Friends

This weekend has been very enjoyable so far! Friday was low key. Since Austin always works late on Friday nights the kids and I just enjoyed a relaxful night. Hot dogs & Mac n cheese and some Little Mermaid! I know we are exciting over here right?!? Anyway they love it!
Today (Saturday) has been more exciting. Well we had some good friends of ours in town visiting. If you remember from previous blogs when Colby was a lot younger our friends Brent and Kristie. They were here and wanted to hang out today. We had originally said a park but then I remembered it was the first big weekend of parades and traffic would be crazy all over the city. Plus Colby has been begging to attend a parade. This year sadly there was only 1 parade on the westbank but we thought it might be fun to go to that. I told them they could meet us at my parent's house for a quick lunch of po-boys and we would go up to the parade route. It was so neat seeing Colby and Cade pick up being friends! They got along so well and played together great! I hate they live so far away! We enjoyed our lunch then packed up and hit the parade. Colby had a really good time hanging with Cade and Mr. Brent. Lindsay enjoyed it but was pretty quiet through the whole thing. I think she liked it though. This was Colby's 5th year of parades and Lindsay's 2nd. I hate that we no longer have many WB parades to choose from though. I hope to maybe bring them uptown or to Metairie before the season is over!
Sunday we are enjoying a nice lazy, rainy family day. We went to early service this morning. Heard a wonderful message from Hebrews 7. So thankful for our church! The kids seemded to do well and enjoy their classes. When we got out of church it was POURING so that made picking everyone up and getting to the truck interesting! I was just glad Austin was there to help! Since its raining we decided against going to parades. Instead a lazy day and working inside is on the agenda. Its nice to have a laid back day! We have had a pretty busy month ever since getting home from Disney! It was the first Sunday in awhile we haven't had any plans after church either! It will be nice to stay in tonight and relax.
Austin is off tomorrow which I am looking forward to and then we will get back to another busy week of church activities and school stuff!
