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.

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.

Survival.

5 Boys > 2 Parents Sanity I'm not sure how it happened exactly...but after several days of recuperation, it appears we have survived the boy filled weekend. It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on Guthrie's right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age. They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered. The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

The Who's Who of Whoville

The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
