We spent the weekend and some of this week in Louisiana, enjoying king cakes and beignets and seeing some friends. It was so nice to get those extra few days.
We arrived Friday night. I stopped by Walmart to pick up snacks and a few groceries and said hey to Kyle while he was working. We got to Sean's, unloaded our stuff and put the kids to bed. Zac and I watched some TV, then called it a night.
Saturday, we woke up early and met up with Kyle at Cafe Du Monde for breakfast and much-needed coffee. Kyle decided to ride with us across the lake so Zac could finally get his tattoo he came up with. His original idea was a little bonkers, but Jessie took its elements and created a badass piece. We hung around the mall to kill some time before heading over to Electric Expressions. Kyle and I hung out with the kids for the duration of the tattoo. We went to Target and picked up some food from Sonic. It wasn't too bad, just a little boring. I was going to get my Bride covered up but decided to let Zac have the time and get as much done on his as Jessie could. She's 90% finished with it, but it looks really awesome. We're going to go back in March to see her for mine.
Monday, we went picked up doughnuts and drove across the lake to see Katie and Chase at the Lafranier park and to give them their late Christmas gifts. We walked through the bird sanctuary, then let the kids ride the carousel while we visited. It was nice to have a day outside that wasn't flooded with rain. After parting with Katie, we headed to McAlister's for lunch, then went back to Sean's.

Sunday was our lazy day. Mawmaw broke her foot, so she wasn't in the mood for company, understandably so. Zac took us out for frozen yogurt and some shopping at Five Below and 2nd & Charles.
Tuesday was Mardi Gras. There was some miscommunication between Krystal and me about Kayden's birthday. I thought we were going to meet up with them Tuesday afternoon for the birthday party, but they spent all day at the Mardi Gras parade. Zac and I weren't up for staying out in the sun all day with the little boys and with Zac's fresh tattoo, so we skipped out. I told her we'd give her Kayden's gift when we go back in March, if we do get to see them. So, since we didn't have plans, we just spent the day being lazy and hanging around Target. I managed to finally find a teddy bear for Cole. I've been looking all over for one and Target had it. He loves plushies right now and will give them a big squeeze.
Wednesday, I spent the majority of our time washing our clothes and cleaning up the kids' messes. I got us packed up and we hung out with Sean until he left for work, then we drove home. I like how relaxed this trip felt. It wasn't rush all over the place like usual when we're only around for a weekend. Next trip is mainly for a tattoo, so I'll probably send Zac with the kids to visit family.
