Weekend Update

I could really use a weekend of nothingness....a weekend with no plans, PJ's and movie marathons. This does not appear to be in the cards for us anytime soon.  This weekend was as all others seem to be. Crazy Busy.

Friday evening John & Gav headed to a Wahoo's game to celebrate Gavin's  AR victory. Much like, Annabelle did last year Gavin topped the mini Brandts AR reading goal every semester for the entire year! Needless to say, this sort of celebrating did not involve girls tagging alone...most especially sisters and step moms.  So the lady Brandts settled for dinner out and a movie in. We even ate ice cream. IN THE LIVING ROOM. You heard that right folks, it was a crazy night.

Saturday the mini Brandts had their Awana end of the year water party & I had a gun safety class at the Sheriff's Department. I'm applying for my concealed weapons permit (you know since work now involves going into vacant houses with strangers and all). Besides, I love shooting, but with ammo so expensive I rarely go to the range.

They should consider less attractive targets

We spent Saturday evening cooking out with my Dad, Step Mom & 2 of my lovely sisters.  The kiddo's enjoyed some much sought after pool time & some delicious homemade ice cream too!

Sunday we started the morning off with Awana recognition at Church (Gavin was clearly thrilled as you can tell from the photo below) & finished the day with friends, food and a brand new slip in slide  put to good use.

This is how I will feel tomorrow. Bring on Monday....actually bring on Friday.

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 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.
