Catch a Tiger by the Toe

Doesn't he look so friendly?
Report card time again already. Annabelle made A honor roll again, Heaven A/B and Gav AB & 1 C! Not to shabby!! We decided on a day at the Zoo as a reward this time. I haven't been to the Zoo in like....10 years. Probably longer. We had a great time! They have a new addition called Budgiery. Basically you buy these sticks with bird seed glued to them and when you go inside the Budgiery, a billion birds attack you. Annabelle loved it, Heaven loved it over time....Gavin...well he hated it the whole time. Mainly thanks to his Dad who could not resist taunting him....
Cup of birds!

Forced photo...

Gavin was being a good sport about it and posed for a photo....
And then this happened....and he is now scarred for life. Thanks Dad!! 


Bird lady

In the end they both ended up liking it 



After Gavin could take no more, we headed out to see what else the zoo had to offer...
He was so cute and was loving being in the shade. It was SO hot! 

Yes, this is a real person laying with a real baby gorilla!! This is the zoo's newest addition. Her name is  Kigali (no clue how that's pronounced) and apparently she prefers her rest with a human nanny...


Gav and his favorite, Toucan!! 


They always insist on looking thru these....but they're never turned on....

I had just said how friendly this cougar looked...and then it glared at me. RUDE! 

Tiger playing with an ostrich egg...


This was the weirdest  thing ever this monkey was copying John....

See??

Kind of a stretch for a zoo exhibit I think... 



Doesn't he look like a little old man?

Snakes!

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.

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

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!
