Slumberless.

I honestly have no idea what's going on in this photo
SLUMBER Party is really a poor title for a girls sleepover. No one Slumbers...everyone just stays up all night being crazy & creating havoc....also known as fun.

Heaven had a 2 part birthday this year. Friday night she had a few close friends spend the night. She'd wanted a camping party, but I didn't think most parents would be okay with their kids actually camping in the back yard (an no way was I camping in my own yard...much less sleeping, or attempting to sleep in a tent with 6 girls) so John being the super awesome Dad that he is built a tent in our front living room for the girls to sleep in. It was definitely a hit. We made pizza, decorated cupcakes, made smores, played with glow chalk, had dance competitions & even watched a little Justin Bieber.

Indoor Tent

The next morning keeping with the "Camping" theme me and the girls loaded up for a hike at Arcadia Mills Park in Milton. We weren't lucky (or quiet) enough to see any wildlife, but the girls were very impressed with the rather swingy bridge that crossed the creek.


Hikers. Ava insisted on wearing the Southern Belle  costume. It was too early for a fight

Since the Slumber party was pretty limited number wise Heaven had a cookout/swimming party on Saturday so the rest of her friends could celebrate too. We had a REALLY good turn out & thankfully narrowly avoided the forecasted rain showers. We had to finish up the last game of the day indoors, but  for the most part everything ran as planned....that is, as planned as a children's party can be.

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! 

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!
