As I've come to realize, every holiday is reason for celebration here at Pretty Eagle. Fat Tuesday proved to be no exception. In third grade we made some dazzling masks... and then the lower grades marched in a goofy little parade walking around the school banging on instruments. The best part was probably the cafeteria, which got all decked out with balloons & decorations, the servers in fancy Mardi Gras masks, with a big buffet of Cajun foods--including alligator! Luckily they were serving plain old pizza too, for those of us unadventurous enough to dive into the seafood and jambalaya. (One of the second grade boys realized I wasn't eating any of the crawfish and began teasing me by sticking the claw in my face... agh!!) It was a fun day and definitely one of the more festive Fat Tuesdays I've experienced!
Happy Mardi Gras!
