Another Mardi Gras is in the books! There is no better way to welcome in Lent than this Pre-Fat-Tuesday celebration the weekend before. This annual fundraiser for our church (and the girls school) always promises a good time and since it pulls in over $50,000 each year...it's a win/win. We haven't ever bid on the girls art work as I feel like once you buy the classroom art for one child, you have to buy it for each subsequent child (or just play favorites) :) but we did bid on Emma's classroom basket this year. Mark has never been to an NBA game so we bought a basket with 4 tickets to a Timberwolves game and hotel in Minneapolis for a fun little getaway over spring break. (No worries, we secured a 5th ticket so we don't have to leave a man behind). Though Mardi Gras is an adult-only event -- thanks to their awesome parents -- the girls scored "teachers chair for a day," "librarian for a day," and "little T (our beloved maintenance man) for a day." They were thrilled!
How can you not have fun with these people around?
My fabulous co-worker friends. (Don't mind my ginormous pink beads...I promise they were acquired in a lady-like fashion).
