Flute Fluke.

This Saturday the girls and I headed down to Floridatown Park for the annual Creek Indian Pow Wow.  Gavin was feeling under the weather, and it was gorgeous outside so it seemed like a good way to spend part of our Saturday. The girls really loved it, and surprisingly enjoyed watching the ceremonial dances, though they could not be tempted to join in when it was allowed. In an effort to avoid the "Can we buy everything PUHLEASSSSE" discussion which usually ends poorly for the children I gave each of the mini Brandt ladies an option, $5 to spend on whatever they chose at the festival or to spend on a treat at the festival or on the way home. The only limit I put on this, was that it could not be on an actual weapon of any kind as Heaven had her eye on a bow & arrow. Nothing good can come from a child and a bow & arrow. Nothing.

While Annabelle did enjoy browsing thru the craft booths, she decided that her sweet tooth was stronger than her need for Native American paraphernalia. and decided to spend her money on a treat from Sweet Frog.  Heaven however decided she REALLY NEEDED to spend her $5 on a new flute. As I hadn't outlawed such dreadful things in my original breakdown of the rules
(Rookie Mistake) the flute came home with us. Heaven is thoroughly enjoying her attempts to create beautiful music throughout the weekend. I'm afraid however...she may be the only one. Needless to say it may not be around much longer. If I don't destroy it....Gavin surely will.

I suspect the girls will have colored eye brows for several days

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!
