Potty...Party with the Krewe of Highland

Hi all...Its been a rough week or two. First I have had this lingering crud for 5 weeks now and it finally just drug me down on Monday. I just felt like a truck had hit me..so I called the Doctor and asked is there ANYTHING you can give me? Well after a chest x-ray, flu culture, strep culture...they determined I have "Walking Pneumonia"...I was given another round of antibiotics and Inhaler. I am feeling much better today..the inhaler has made a world of difference in just a few days. We bought Brooke a potty...Winnie the Pooh to be exact since she thinks he is the best thing ever...the has Pooh-Dar...if there is something Winnie the Pooh in eyesight she starts shouting Pooh..Pooh...always fun in a crowded store..haha...but she does love him. We were at ToysRus on Saturday and they had a Winnie the Pooh Easter Basket and she went nuts..so of course we got it for her for Easter. She can name every single character off of that show. We usually only watch it on Saturday Morning but she has several books that we read over and over again.
On another note Mardi Gras has come to an end and we went to only one Big Parade. We have never been to the Krewe of Highland parade because it was on a Sunday and more of a kids parade so we thought...but we did not take Brooke to the 2 night parades of Gemini and Centaur because she is just so mobile and we did not want her running out in front of a float or having some drunk take her beads or knock her down etc..etc. We loved the Highland parade, we met my Sister-N-Law Liz over at her friends house and brought our friends with us and we loved it. Brooke & Eli had a blast palying before the parade and they caught so much stuff...we will def be going to that parade from now on. As far as my other little punkin..we go to the Doctor again on the 6th and will see the baby again and for sure believe them if they say girl...we have had our doubts....but we are on a mission for a name. it took us forever to name Brooke so we will see, what we can come up with. We have tossed a few names around but have not really said we love them..hate them...etc..Just stay tuned to hear.

Our new Winnie the Pooh Potty...we love going and sitting on the potty...even with our pants up..then she tells me "Mommy I Tee-Tee and points to the empty potty
"





Killing time before the parade...we ran ourself silly and everyone else there too!! Eli hiding behind his Dad because he was scared of the clown that was acting like he was going to get him.







My 2 favorite floats...I am a 80's kid and love ET







Hanging out on Uncle Stephens shoulders
