Weekend with Daddy

Been a full/quick weekend...my welder threw his back out
couldn't walk, had to go see a chiropractor for some help.

So the kids and I loaded up the car and drove out to meet
him, camper life again...did I miss you?...sorry to say NO!
So it's been the usual; clean the camper, wash loads of
laundry, buy groceries, etc. Oh don't get me wrong, my 
welder is NOT nasty, just his meaning of clean is just
different from mine. LOL

#1, The sheets are clean (been on for weeks) I take a bath 
before climbing into bed....
#2, His towel is clean, (been hanging for days) I just dry
off and hang back up to dry...
#3, Well, sorry about the sink FULL of dishes, I was just
too tired last night to wash.....I came just in time huh?
#4, I pile my receipts, ear plugs and change in one spot....
sorry I have OCD I so can't take that!
#5, No need to fold clothes, I'm just going to wear them
again this week....

We were able to take the kiddos to the Audubon Aquarium
of the Americas in New Orleans, it was a blast, even though
we had to take it slow for my welder over his hurting back.


The Sea Horses are one of our favorite
exhibits of the aquarium, such neat
lil" creatures God has made.


The boys and their "catch"


It was a very rainy day but we managed to 
go look at the Mississippi River and 
watch the steamboats pass by.


LOVE how the streets look down by the
French Quarter, the lovely garden
balconies are just too awesome.

And we found a coffee house and my welder
bought me some beignets....oh so yummy!

Birthday Madness

My lil' man informed me "I've never had a birthday party!"
with that sad look on his face...well, he was turning 7 so
yes he had BUT it had been awhile. So I put together a
party for him (even though daddy was off working hard).


He wanted a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
so I did the best I could...he loved it!


And we were able to get ALL the grand-kids
together at the same time (getting hard 
to do that these days) see baby girl?
She is still so far the ONLY GIRL in the bunch.


Baby girl was turning 5...now she has NOT
had a party since her first birthday, so
her daddy and I had fun putting together a
Princess party fuuulllllll of PINK!


Daddy got to take off a day to come
home and be with his baby girl.


And so we had MANY unhappy boys...
they didn't like eating out of 
PINK plates, using PINK forks or 
drinking  out of PINK cups! 
"I don't like girl parties" I heard one say.
