Pet Scouting.

Tonight the girls Girl Scout took went on  field trip to Petland...aka Heaven on Earth. Any time I am having a bad day, or feeling REALLY stressed out, I head over to Petland to calm my nerves. They pretty much force puppies upon you when you walk in the door. There are little gated off areas that you can take these precious fur-balls into and just play with them until your heart is content (or until they remind you 10 times they're closing soon). It is impossible to leave Petland in a bad mood. Needless to say I LOVE Petland, and had to tag along. Ever the "cool" parent, I hung back and let the girls do their thing (more puppy time for me). The girls got to hold, puppies, kittens, bunnies and even pet a snake. They are working on their "pet" badges currently and listened to animal facts from the Petland staff. Did you know Rabbit's do not sweat? They do not have sweat glands & use their ears to regulate their body temperature. AB informed me of this fact on the way home tonight. AB had a game tonight  so she had to miss the first part of the meeting. To make up for it, we stayed a little late holding puppies on our own.

Disregard the HUGE wad of gum in Annabelle's mouth. This is what happens when Dad drives her home from soccer practice...

This shiba inu was SO hyper. He did not enjoy being held still. Too bad we did it anyway....

In Soccer news, the Heat suffered their first loss of the season tonight losing 0-1. Annabelle however had 2 really close goal shots, one hit the goal post!! We're hoping for a first goal at Thursdays game!!

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

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

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
