Weekend Update.

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.

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

By
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!
