Florida State Highlights

After working up an appetite at the circus (aka:leaving so late we were forced to go straight there and skip lunch) we headed to Momo's Pizza for a late lunch. Momo's claim to fame is "Pizza Slices As Big As Your Head". It's also crazy cheap, and thus a favorite for college students.

We told the girls if they finished their pizza, we'd get them dessert.

They were not victorious....




When we'd finished up, we headed back to the FSU campus to some a few of the "must sees". Namely DOAK & Wescott....the two most famous places at Florida State.

The Wescott Building & infamous Wescott Fountain

It's an FSU tradition to take a swim (usually an against your will swim) in the Wescott fountain on your 21st birthday.  Annabelle wanted to take a dip, but I told her she's still got 13 years before she'll be ready. She settled for rolling up her jeans and taking a stroll around the shallowest part for now.

Heaven was not interested 








Look at her in her rolled up jeans & Tom like shoes looking like a little college hipster already! 

Once we'd explored campus (aka gotten good and hot) we ventured to the mall in search of some FSU duds for the girls & then to see The Life of Pi at the theater. Both were big strike outs. In case you were wondering, Life of Pi is not a  kid movie...even with all the animals.

After dropping off Aunt KK we decided to call it a night and head to our hotel.  The hotel had an Applebees on the bottom floor that allowed you to order "room service" off their menu. The girls thought they were SO COOL (and I'll admit it was a major relief to eat in PJ's). We finished the evening with Milano cookies in bed (as I won't be washing those sheets) and a lil Disney Marathon on the tv.


It took about 20 minutes of tv for the girls to look like this;

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.
