A Freaking Trumpet??!!??

We hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. We had a wonderful, lazy weekend filled with family, friends, some rainy day movie marathons and even a bit of shopping. It was just the low key weekend I was looking for.

It was not quiet however.

So this happened

Saturday, the mini Lady Brandts & Ava worked for Nana at Flordiatown Station. The store is closing, and they are holding yard sale's on Saturdays to clear out the remaining items. Nana paid the girls each $10 for helping and they were also allowed to pick one item from the store to bring home with them. Ava picked a doll, Annabelle picked a tea set, and Heaven picked a trumpet. A FREAKING TRUMPET!

Not only did she pick a trumpet...but this is a USED trumpet...so basically she spent a large portion of the weekend making loud trumpetish sounds from a slightly bent...not fully functioning...key sticking trumpet that a strangers mouth and spit have been on. Thanks Nana. Thanks a lot.

Gavin thoroughly enjoyed the college football season kicking back off this weekend. He got to watch his Gators claim their first victory on Saturday, but he watched pretty much any game that he could catch on TV as well. He even watched the Nole game with us on Monday evening...though he claimed he wanted both teams to loose.

Gavin was not fan of our new porch decor. He was also not a fan of the AP poll that came out this week putting FSU ahead of UF!!

We decided that since Gavin has a room here...he can continue to use the front door...at least on non game days.

This is the girls doing the Seminole "chop" clearly we've got some work to do.

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.
