The fiercest of the Brandito's tried out for Student Government this week. Annabelle gave a fantastic speech, but unfortunately she was not chosen. Each class only gets one representative, and she had 3 kids in her class try out. She didn't seem too upset about not being picked, and said she's planning to try out again next year. Heaven was also interested in trying out but...so was about half her class thus she decided against adding her name to the pot.
We practiced her speech several times at home before her big day at school. Here's a look at one of the out takes.
We've also spent a lot of time this week getting prepared for Heaven's big double digit party this weekend. It's planned to be a swimming party, but with 70% chance of rain, I've prepared several extra games in case we're forced to spend a little extra time indoors than we'd hoped.

We've got lots more to do...and not a lot of time to do it!! That means lots of caffeine...and a little bit of panic.
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.
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!
