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.

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!
