Yep..Those are the NKOTB (New Kids on the Block)

Last weekend was super fun!! I went to the New Kids on the Block concert. The concert was great and sooooo much fun. They did kind of disappoint me when they came out for an encore wearing the Boston Celtics jerseys. The concert was in the New Orleans arena (where the Hornets play). As a major Hornets fan, I thought that was a little disrespectful. Of course, since the whole arena was filled with women...no really there were not ANY guys there...they knew they could get away with it. The concert was great and long. After the concert, we met up with our husbands and hung out in New Orleans for the night.

This weekend was also the Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Foundation Family Picnic. I was charge of it so after being up all night and only two hours of sleep we headed back to Baton Rouge Sunday morning to prepare for it. The boys stayed at Brad's parents while we were in New Orleans so G'ami (Brad's mom) and Gran (Brad's grandma) met us at the picnic too. The boys had a good time jumping and playing. It was nice and so encouraging to see so many children doing well after such serious heart diseases, difibulators, pacemakers, heart transplants and various surgeries. The kids wore their Halloween costumes and we went with a fall carnival theme. At the end of the picnic, the "heart kids" let the heart balloons go that we used for decorations. It was really cool. They all headed toward the sun, so I wasn't able to get a good picture.

Later that evening, we had a Fall party at church. Thankfully, with such a full day - the boys were exhausted and ready for bed. Until we realized that Cow (not only what he is, but also his name!) did not make it home from Pop and G'amis. Those of you that don't know Cow, he is a member of our family (he even has a picture on this site!) Stevie and Jamie bought him for David's first birthday and he has slept with David EVERY night since. He used to go to little school with David, he travels with us when we go out of town, etc. Thankfully now that David is 5 1/2 he only "needs"him to sleep with. David was upset and after I created a makeshift "Cow" he agreed to go to bed. He then came out crying, "But G'ami doesn't have his food". Brad and I tried so hard not to laugh. I asked him what Cow ate and David looked at me as if I was the dumbest person on the planet..."he eats HAY". I must admit I was quite surprised, because for the past few years I had not been stocking the pantry with hay for Cow. We promised David that Cow would be OK for one night and that we'd go get him after school on Monday. Well on Monday, Brad picked David up from school but David didn't want to go back to Lafayette to get Cow. Today is Wednesday and David has not asked about Cow since Sunday night!!!
