Birthday and New Orleans

Will turned 7!  His birthday was on a Monday, so we kind of celebrated all weekend.

"You smell like a monkey & you smell like one too."

We attempted to have a sleepover with 2 of his friends.  I thought, hey, these kids go to bed at 8, right? They should be out by 9:30pm.  They told me that they weren't going to bed, and boy they weren't kidding. At 3AM, yes you read that right, as they were running around the downstairs with all the light on like wild savages, jumping off couches and raiding the candy again, I finally separated them to go to sleep in different rooms, and sat out in front of the doors until they did.
Minature Golfing with the family, go carts, and bumper car things one day. Military festival with bouncies and cotton candy another day, and the infamous sleepover.

This last weekend, a trip to New Orleans. Can't beat the food down there.  Here's a restaurant we like. Blair got the Rajun Cagin Burger, and me a shrimp and fried green tomato poboy, which looked like it exploded on my plate after a few bites.

Beautiful New Orleans.  I did make sure to put a before and after at Cafe du Monde, where the kids lick their plates clean of the powdered sugar from beignets.
