A few months ago, Zack, Katelan, and I all got seamonkeys at Walmart. How often do seamonkeys ever last? Maybe 3 months tops, right? Well, for some reason, mine are thriving. I guess I'm just such a good mother that I do it without even trying! I now have tons of algae (that's a good thing for the seamonkeys), 3 pregnant seamonkey mamas, 2 mating pairs, and several little baby seamonkeys. They're so cool! Did you know that seamonkeys are born with 1 eye, and then as they get bigger they grow 2 more so that by the time they are fully grown, they have 3 eyes? And did you know that they smell with their feet? I wonder what they do when they step in seamonkey poo... ewww! Seamonkeys are just super cool (and strange!) creatures and I have spent several afternoons just watching them swim around. It doesn't sound that exciting, but I promise. It really is.
Mardi Gras 2008!
My first Mardi Gras. One of the perks of dating a wonderful young man who lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast! There were parades... lots of parades. And beads! Sooo many beads [Disclaimer: I definitely did NOT do anything scandalous to get the beads!!!!]. Moon Pies, beads, fake roses, beads, plastic cups, and more beads: I've got it all now! Sadly, my camera was taking a fix-it vacation and didn't quite make it back in time to document all the super-duper goings-on of the weekend. But fortunately, the whole thing was spontaneously re-enacted a week later at my dorm!
