"Because it's Carnival Time... Everybody's Havin' Fun!"

Let the party begin!


One of these days I hope to take the kids to Mardi Gras. But, alas, this will not be the year. Again.

We actually got some real, genuine King Cake when we briefly passed through New Orleans for my grandmother's funeral a couple weeks ago. A fellow Southerner also living in Red Deer passed this recipe along to me that she found on the net which uses crescent rolls to make your own King Cake. So we made two last week; one with cream cheese and apple pie filling, and one with cream cheese and cherry pie filling. Both were quite tasty. I was surprised, and impressed!


In other news, Sam brought me this heart that he chiseled from ice when they were playing outside on Valentine's Day. It's still in the freezer.


Here are some pics we took this afternoon. Full-tackle yoga!


And, it's been a while since we've had a gecko shot. I call this one "Gecko on Highly Polished Desk."

Izzy and Phoenix

Welcome the newest members of our household. Two crested geckos:

Phoenix (male)

and Izzy (female).

Crested geckos don't have eyelids, so they use their tongues to clean off their eyes.

Their little feet are so cute.

Phoenix is pretty laid back.


Izzy hangin' out. She likes to jump. And she was lingering at the top of the cage for a while this morning. Planning her escape, I'm sure.


I think I could pry it open and shimmy out right there!


I wonder if he's right on the other side of this wall.
