We spent the weekend in Louisiana so we could attend Krystal and Kevin's wedding. We arrived right around bedtime Friday night, even though the kids wouldn't settle down until after midnight. I had Zac and Sean run to Cafe Du Monde Saturday morning to pick up beignets for breakfast before we headed across the lake.
The ceremony was so sweet. Krystal and Kevin wrote their own vows (almost made Zac cry) and the food was really good. Karen made a three-tier pineapple cake from ten boxed cake mixes.
After the reception, we drove to see Zac's mom's gravesite, then walked around the mall for a little while to get Elias tired. He skipped his nap, so there was a meltdown after everything we thought could get him cheery. We stopped in a toy store, which was a mistake as he wanted a new car ($10, yeah sure), riding on the train (again), swimming in the water fountain (ha!), and getting buckled into his carseat. Needless to say, it was quite a treat. I'm just glad that his meltdowns require a small chat and he's okay again. Zac dropped me off to see Jessie at the tattoo shop while he refilled the gas tank because we barely got to visit last time we were in town. We were going to try to meet up with Katie at some point but her boys weren't feeling so good. Next time we visit, we'll have FOUR children with us. Eep! But we hope to make it a longer trip so we can get some better visits in.
Sunday, we went to see Mawmaw and Marie to visit for a few hours before making the drive home. We even caught Kyle on a lunch break to visit him a minute while he was working. It was nice seeing Mawmaw. We talked about babies and family, she gave me a hug and said she was sorry for Dad passing, then loaded us up with tamales to bring home. The kids had fun playing with Francesca, and we grabbed some snowballs from Southern Delights on our way out. We finally made it home around 11:15pm and I fell into bed, though Leah did wake me up by crying that her stomach hurt because for some reason, waking up a sleeping parent is a better choice than telling the awake parent of a stomach ache... such is the logic of my daughter. It was a rough night. I'm so tired today and the allergies are abundant. I'm losing my mind as I type.
