Pajama Day

Remember how much fun it was to have "Pajama Day" at school.

Me, neither.

But at Holland's school, it's a fairly common occurance, just like having a sofa in your classroom.

Elvis' Birthday

One of our favorite Mexican restaurants celebrates Elvis' birthday every year. If you dress like Elvis or Priscilla, you get a free meal. A free meal if you dress like Elvis? Sign us up! Turns out my friend and workout buddy, Laurie and her family have done an Elvis float in the family-friendly parades in New Orleans and even the local parades so she and her fam were on board for Elvis night. The impersonator didn't come to our Chuy's location, but no matter. Our table more than made up for it. We sang happy birthday to other patrons, ourselves, passersby, basically anybody with a pulse was fair game. And oh, the pictures with customers, waitstaff, managers and even some of the kitchen staff. So much fun. It really looks like Mac has found his Elvis kindred spirits.

King Creole

It never ceases to amaze me just how far this Elvis gig will go. Mac mentioned to our Elvis cohorts that we should have an Elvis party. And a party we had. My friend, Laurie's family can throw a party. An Elvis/Mardi Gras party. It was so much fun!! Mac performed his 10 song set to the lights and the smoke machine. Beads, singing, dancing. And then there was the shrimp creole....so good that's Mac's new motto is, "Will perform for shrimp creole".

Don't be jealous.

My friend, Laurie and myself in front of the Mardi Gras tree, practicing our moves. This was sort of a blend of Elvis and Body Combat.

Me, Jeannie, Lisa, and Laurie

We managed to score a few beads. Helped that I kind of leaped in front of everybody a few times.

I'm a wee bit competitive.
