Well, I had a pretty full weekend! Friday, LittleMan and I attended the AgExpo at the local civic center. We petted Elsie the cow and also a little baby calf, goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, what I assume were donkeys of some sort, and alpacas. LittleMan was enthralled with the antique tractors and screamed when I took him off of one. I have some pictures at home that I need to upload that one of my wonderful readers and co-worker, Jamie, took for me.Saturday was the Mardi Gras parade in town. I now have more tacky beads than 50 streetwalkers could wear. But, LittleMan had a good time, so it was worth it.
Saturday afternoon, Hooker and her boyfriend, Dusty, begged (well, Hooker begged) for me to take some pictures of the two of them, so we headed out to the state park where the beach was totally deserted and shot tons of pics. Check out the one that's posted and more on the photoblog.
Saturday night, we had our first Family Fun Night. This was started by my two aunts who wanted all of our extended family and friends to get together and snack, play games, and just visit. It sounds corny, but we had a blast. I enjoy getting together with family that we don't see that often even though we all live within 3 minutes of each other.
The past few days have been super busy at work, so I need to get back to it. Don't forget to check out the pics!!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
