Brandt weekend update...in photos




        As our milk so rudely reminded me that Christmas is right around the corner. We (okay well I) knocked out a little Christmas shopping this weekend. I felt really good about it...until I put it in my spreadsheet (yes I really keep a spreadsheet) and realized I have SO. MUCH. LEFT. TO. DO. 



           We also started our annual Thankful project back up. Each night we take turns writing something we are thankful for on a leave that goes up in our kitchen. No one is allowed to repeat a "thankful" & by the end of the month it is interesting to see all the things we have to be thankful for. The kids have different levels of depth in their answers thus far....from Farmers, to fellow Gator fans...

         I also did a little crafting this weekend. I need to start my Christmas crafts, but I'm going to procrastinate a little longer so that I feel good and stressed out about it. I work so much more efficiently under pressure.



New decor for the girls room




Photo craft for the hall.

          Our sad little garden is almost totally dead and dried up. We do have a few carrots waiting to be harvested. I don't know a lot about carrot growing...so basically we just pull one up from time to time. Here's our latest victim.







            As per the usual our weekend also involved quite a lot of football. And as per the recent usual, the Gators did not show up to Gavin's complete and utter disappointment. It has not been a good season for ol' Gavin or the Gators. Dad & Gavin watched the LSU vs Bama game on Saturday night, but the lady Brandts decided it was more of a movie night. We went to see "Free Bird", in our Pajamas. Luckily we didn't run in to anyone we knew. The movie was totally ridiculous..but the girls didn't seem to notice.


They're the cutest. They can't help it.

Survival.

By
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.
