Thoth

Sam and her loot.

She loved the turtle most.

"Throw me something!"

Happy baby!

The Sunday before Mardi Gras, we went to the Thoth parade. My mom and dad met us there. It took forever to find a parking spot, but we finally made it. Sam loves for my dad to hold her and catch things and then she runs back to her wagon to put everything in her bag. She also sits in the wagon and waits for the next float because she doesn't like the bands. Brian's friend, Ben, was riding in the parade and we yelled to him and he threw tons of beads and he wanted us to get some other things, but we weren't able to because Sam got hit with the beads. She put her hand up to catch and they hurt her hand. Poor thing! She was okay by the next float though :) Afterwards, we had lunch at Reginelli's and then headed home!

And in other big news, Sam spent the night out for the 1st time on the 3rd. My mom spent the day with us and then took Sam to her house and my parents, brother, sister-in-law and Sam went to see Muses and she then she stayed at their house. They said it took her a while to fall asleep and then she woke up really early, but she did great! My dad said one time she said she had to go home and that was it. He took her out for donuts the next morning. When I would ask if she wanted to go to another parade after that, she would say "yes, but I sleep in my bed." She was only gone for the afternoon and night, but I missed her so much. Even Brian came home from work and said it was too quiet :)
