Fat Tuesday

Lent starts tomorrow - got to use up all the oil & sugar, so we make pancakes! Did you know that was the origin of Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras)? Our church, like many Episcopal congregrations has a pancake supper on Shrove Tuesday/Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras. And of course we turned out for free food.

Kat & BFF Grace
Laney getting her nosh on - and um, check out the fork. This has become a dinner time necessity, even if she does still use her hands most of the time.
All eyes for Bethany (who volunteered to baby sit any Friday! Woo hoo!)
Grace gets Elena giggling.
Daddy & the Lana-Bug
Happy Mardi Gras!

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. Yet ANOTHER food post by one of my so-called "blogger friends" LOL!! Thanks for the encouragement guys, really!! Between you're pancake post, Tara's Gooey-butter-toffee-sinful-decadence-Heaven-on-a-plate whatever you call it, and Caitlin's ice cream post... you people are determined to make my a$$ fall right of the ole' wagon and have a midnight snack!!! LOL!

Glad you had fun and and that you got a babysitter!!!! We really need some more sitters up here!! There are only two that we know of, and you have to be on your game to score one of them, especially on a popular night. Fortunately, my game was spot-on and I did nab one for Valentine's night! Heck yeah... civilized adult dinner... here I come!!! (Guess I better brush up on my manners...)

I thought Mardi Gras was just another excuse to get plastered. I was wrong there.
