Weekend Update

A week in review...photo addition

              This week went to the dogs. Puffin Bear spent the week with us...much to the children's pleasure. Gavin loves Pup because "She's calm" and the girls love snuggling with her at night.  We put her in her dog prison (crate) after the girls were asleep each night however, because Pup likes peeing on beds. I have a feeling, this would ruin the whole girls love snuggling her at night thing. 



The cold temps brought another furry face inside the Brandito Lair this week as well ...

Unfortunately he has a similar love for peeing inside...so Bandit must stay in his prison at all times while indoors.


            The children were introduced to Spaghetti Squash this week, which I must admit went much better than I'd imagined. They won't be begging for it anytime soon or anything soon, but no one feigned vomiting so I think that's a success. We thought it would be fun to roast our own seeds from the squash however and that was not quite as successful.




                   The hubs and I visited FSU this weekend to watch them pound Idaho 14-80. Needless to say we left at halftime (as we were up by 40 points) and had dinner and a movie with my Sis Caleigh before heading back home. 






             I also decided it would be fun to learn to make band aids...so I went ahead and fell on our way into the game so that I could try my hand at it.I'll be wearing tights for a while it looks like.

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.

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!
