See ya 7...Hello there 8!!
We celebrated Heaven's 8th Birthday today with Hula Party at Nana's house. A wonderful time was had by all. While the ladies mastered the hula, the gentlemen preferred to skip this activity and stick with the pool & slip-n-slide.

We had Hula Cake, Beach Cupcakes, Sundaes & Shark Fin Punch to snack on. While on a sugar high, the kiddos went on treasure hunt to locate the hidden pinata stolen by the evil pirate...AKA Papa. I was concerned the kids would have a hard time finding the clues, but it actually turned out to be the highlight of the party and when we were done several kids ask if we could hide something else so they could find it.When the pinata would not give the goods to the kiddos, we resulted to just ripping it apart. This method did not result in any complaints from the candy seekers.

Heaven got some awesome gifts and is going to start learning to ride WITHOUT training wheels next weekend!! No respectable 8 year old rides around on training wheels. Everyone knows that.





Blow'n out the candles!

Camping out under the table. Because that's what smart shade seekers do.





MONEY!

We have found the treasure. I repeat, we have FOUND THE TREASURE.

Forget it. Just rip it open.

Genius.

We still owe Annabelle 2 more AR trips so yesterday I thought I'd escape the "hurricane" madness of Pensacola and cross one off our list. We decided to give Auntie Jenny a visit in her new apartment in Mobile (AU Pharmacy Program...GO JEN!) and let her show us around for a while. We drove around campus for a bit and grabbed lunch at Hero's, which is close to her apartment. It has a very "college" feel to it, and Annabelle felt very "cool" to be out with the ladies. After lunch we headed over to the Explorium to waste away the rest of the afternoon. I love the Explorium, because they change their main exhibits our pretty regularly, so no 2 times are ever the same. Plus, it actually attempts to help the kids LEARN something while they're playing....vs just running around like mad heathens.  Annabelle really liked the kid science area & the "matter" exhibit they have. Especially the soap bubble cloud maker. The poor worker re...

Fish Tale

By
After feeding and watering the dogs for 6 weeks, Annabelle earned herself a fish today! After much debate at Petsmart, she decided on a pink "dragon scaled" beta & a mermaid themed tank. She has named him Poseidon (we're a bit into Percy Jackson right now...for better or worse) though I personally pushed for King Tritian (I mean HELLO it's a mermaid tank!!). She could not wait to get home and get it all set up. Because we (I) underestimated how big the tank we selected is, we set it up in the girls room...as there is no where else to put it. He has lots, and lots of pink decorations...so hopefully he's not too much of a manly man fish.

Carolers

By
The girls Brownie troop went Christmas Caroling this weekend at University Pines Retirement Community. They were absolutely precious. Words cannot express the cuteness overload. Several local troops were there and they sang for about half an hour. The girls have been practicing their songs for weeks, and they did spectacularly. The adorable retiree's gave them rave reviews and they were stopped by several people asking them to come back next year.  Could they be any cuter? When we got home, we thought it only seemed fair to get the dogs in the spirit too..... Kingsley the Great Bayleigh the Princess
