What would Cleopatra do?

You might not recognize these guys....
Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. It was definitely a Success with the Brandito bunch this year. We had a busy night of visiting family & friends as well as some good ol'fashion trick or treating.

Annabelle as Cleopatra


Gavin as Waluigi...the moustache was short lived...


Heaven as a "Southern Belle" who found a witch broom
The kids had a blast getting all dressed up!! Well minus the moustache that came with Gavin's costume. He hated that pretty much instantly and I don't think it made it past a visit to Aunt Jessica's.  Heaven LOVED her witch broom (though I assured her that no Southern Belle actually ever found a witch broom) and AB fluttered her cape around most of the evening. We also had a surprise guest of Thor with us for a part of the evening.

Gabe "Thor" Simmons
I call this photo, "The Death of the Stache'"


After their candy capturing frenzy had ended, the kids realized they were on the verge of starvation. So we finished the evening with a later that usual dinner at What-A-Burger (Heaven's FAVORITE...for now).



The kids brought home SO much candy. I mean SO much!! Being good parents, of COURSE we will have to carefully go thru it to be sure no one stuck in anything suspicious. I saw several candy bars that just didn't look right.....
The kids declared Halloween "the best night ever" and who can blame them. They got to wear make up, freely eat candy from strangers (before dinner!) & were allowed to stay up WAY past their bed time. I guess one night of supervised rule breaking won't ruin them.

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle.  Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake.  We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes!  The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success!

Baby You're A Firework

One of these outfits was self chosen....the other was chosen by Mama...can you guess which is which?                   Happy 4th of July everyone!!  It was a rainy 4th for us Floridians. But with the rain comes cooler temperatures, and I'll take a little wet over sweat any day.   We started the 4th off by sleeping in (which of course still means we were up by 9...) and then cooked out with the Brandt/Simmons clan for lunch. We'd planned to go to the Riverwalk area too take part in the crafts and whatnot but once the girls heard Ava was already at Nana's house...they could not be persuaded to do anything that did not include being with her.   Cousins                  It was overcast and cloudy all day, but we did manage to escape most of the rain. Until the fireworks that is. I'm talking lite...

Wackiness

  It's wacky hat day at PRE today. Only Annabelle felt inclined to participate as it costs 2 feathers. Heaven said it was a "total waste of feathers" and Gavin said nothing as his only hat is a Seminole hat and he's gone rogue lately claiming suppot for Gators. My dear Annabelle made up for both of their lack of sense & style.  She is both Fancy in my large sunhat and Fabulous in her FSU Friday decor.   Doesn't get much better. Happy Friday!
