Mother’s Day Weekend

Kenny’s parents, brother, and nephew came over to our house this past weekend so we could spend some quality Mom Day time together. There was a little art festival here in town called The Big Easel, and we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather outside walking around looking at all of the local art. We had a great time viewing the artists’ work, and then we took a break for a late lunch outside at Cafe Roma. What a great way to spend an afternoon!

We found two artists that we really liked, but this girl’s work was especially impressive. She takes pages from newspapers, transfers them to canvas, and then paints a huge fleur-de-lis over everything. Such a cool way to remember the most awesome season in Saints football history!

After the art festival everyone came back to the house to hang out the rest of the afternoon. Kenny had put a pork shoulder on the smoker at 6am that morning, and we had that along with potato salad, homemade baked beans, and grilled corn for dinner. Delish!

The next day Kenny and I decided to continue our weekend of relaxation and go see a movie, Iron Man 2. It was very good, but not quite as good as the first. There are lots of great movies coming out this month, so I was glad to get one crossed off my list!
