Mardi-Gra is kind of a big deal and we like to celebrate any chance we get so a few weekends ago, we had our ....
2nd Annual Sea-Food Boil!!
We had a few freinds over, along with some family.
The party started around 4 o'clock when the UK game started. Let me just add that they won, once again!! They've only lost one game this year & that was a buzzer beater so this has been a great season for the CATS!
I made Gumbo for the first time & it made for a good snack while we watched the game.
Creag started up the broiler at about 6 P.M.
That sucker is BIG! It will cook an amazing meal too. All you gotta do is just throw the food in it & go about your business & we did!
The same night, Skylar had her first sleepover of this school year.
I won't plaster her friends face all over the internet with-out permission, obviously.
They had fun, but she did exactly what I used to do....
complained every time her brother came in her room!
Oh, the joys of having younger siblings.
I know they bicker now, but I pray that they grow up to be very close.
They ended up playing together the next day. They actually all created some pretty cute videos on the I-pad. I was surprised they figured out how to do that on their own. It's amazing how well kids do with technology. If you're not careful, you'll find 'em cruising you-tube.
Anyways, getting off track.
Dinner took I think all of a half-hr. (Love-It)
When it was ready, Creag drained it, then dumped it!
It was delish!
We had shrimp, crab legs, clams, sausage, potatos, & corn on the cob!
I had to tell Sky's friend that we don't usually dump our dinner on the counter.
I could only imagine what she was thinking. Probably something along the lines of .... what a bunch of weirdos!
It was a great day.
We also got to share the news of the engagement with Creag's parents & I finally got to post it on Facebook! That is a big deal you know!
Until next year......
Laissez les bon temps rouller
Let the good times roll:)
