Treaters


Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time  & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet 
(John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats)
Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton.  As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided.
Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really Abbey Bominable was her only option. Apparently the Monster High Girls are like half monster & 1/2 Barbie...so she was part Abominable Snow Man or something...I dunno. It's very strange, but she looked gorgeous just the same.
Being a giant Harry Potter fan I have to say Annabelle's costume made my night!! Annabelle made a stunning Hermione Granger! She got so many compliments on her look because, really, she does kind of look like the Harry Potter starlet!! As she has not had any spell training at Hogwarts, she instead used her wand as a weapon most of the evening. I know, you probably find this rather hard to believe...but alas, it is true. Hopefully she can keep those Hermione Granger grades up this year and have another year of all A's!!

The Actual Hermione Granger... Pretty close, huh??
 

After trick or treating we headed to Whataburger for a quick dinner. The kids really wanted to go to the party at CiCi's but we already did our good deed by going to CiCi's to celebrate Chief of the Week and I can only handle CiCi's like once every 3 months....

Ignore the exhaused look :)
We brought home WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY to much Candy!!! The kiddos got to have 4 pieces each before bedtime. We also arrived home to find our first note of the Christmas Season from Santa! It actually arrived Tuesday, but in the hustle of  the night was temporarily lost....APPARENTLY per the note, it looks like we'll be having an Elf on the Shelf (magical tool for parents) again this year...YAY!!!!

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!
