Yesterday Mardi Gras made it's first appearance in our home via Aunt Barb and Uncle Matt. As you can see here, the kiddos wasted no time at all taking out all the fun new accessories.
Lucas was first intrigued with the necklaces...he didn't miss a beat as he would see one in the box...yell out "blue necklace" grab it, then "red necklace" grab it...and so it went.
Until of course, he saw the hat. Then the necklaces came off and the hat went on. He was definitely interested in how it made noise (for at least 2 seconds) and then it was back to the necklaces!
As you can see, Addison was also quite excited by the necklaces. She definitely kept pace with Lucas (not wanting to miss out on any necklaces of course!).
That is until she found the purse with money!! And then it was all about the money...no more necklaces for her (well, maybe just one...)
Is it true that possession is 9/10 of the law?!?
In the end, Lucas made out with the most necklaces. Addy was just happy to have her money! :) So today I kept hearing from each of them "play necklaces, mommy?" Definitely a hit with them for sure! Thanks Barb & Matt!
In other news, we are finally starting to make some "visible" progress on our home addition. Here is a picture right after our beautiful redwood tree was removed. Our yard is definitely more open and gets a lot more sunlight.
And here is day 1 of "prep" work for doing our foundation/basement. I say "prep" work as we still haven't gotten our final building permit, but our foundation contractor is chomping at the bit to get started (like we aren't!). We'll keep you posted.

It looks like they might have had more fun with Mardi Gras than we did! :)
Looks like everyone had some fun - the LA branch agrees - L&A are incredibly cute.
