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
