Mardi, puis Mercredi

Zoe and Callie Cabbage Patch all decked out for Mardi Gras.

So yesterday we celebrated Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday with fruit filled pastries, beads, jazz, reggae and beans and rice. Although Zoe was a bit much, we had a lot of fun. In the wake of Jos’ death, it was the first time I actually set about celebrating. Here are some snapshots of the day:

A pouty Zoe with mask askew, and me looking like a Carnival Hawkgirl, even despite the IV in my right arm.

With the best nurse ever, Melissa.

A bit of calm while Hurricane Zoe naps.

 Mardi Gras colors.

 Yummy!

 My friend Rose got her doggies in on the fun!

Winding down.

Lent begins.
