Front Row….It literally means…FRONT ROW

The Lady Brandts Christmas Nutcracker Tradition Continued This Year.

We'd planned to sit with some of our fellow Girl Scout troop in support of one of our girls that was cast in the ballet. Unfortunately she got sick last minute and we left scrambling for tickets. When I called (day of performance like a responsible parent) I just asked for the "best available" seats that would be good for kids. Turns out that meant front row. The girls were beyond excited, but sitting so close did make it hard to see at times due to the barrier they put up for the show. They were even happier this equated them being allowed to sit on their knees for a majority of the performance. I'm afraid I may have sat the bar a bit high for the future…..

We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do

We've had some really close games and some games involving total annihilation and though we have no wins...our team spirit remains strong. The team is definitely improving and both girls are doing better each game. Annabelle has claimed the goalie title and is doing really well. She's made several great stops even the opposing coaches at last weekends game commented on her fearlessness. Soccer Monster! Heaven is doing equally awesome. She's most often assigned as a defender. I'm told this is for her speed (per Heaven). She's known for "Baywatching" about during about 1/2 her game time. You know, running and smiling at the crowd making no effort whatsoever to make any form of contact with the ball. She assures me she's working on focusing on the ball more. She was doing steller last weekend and then she took a ball to the face. It was back to Baywatching after that. Gabe is also playing at GP in the U8 league. We haven't gotten to watch a ful...

Utter Chaos.

A full update of the madness that was Heaven's Birthday Party is coming (I am still in the recover phase) ...but for now; here a few shots of her displaying some of her Goodies :) OMG IT'S JUSTIN BIEBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's secretly 80 like me :) That's one reason I love her so much!

What would Cleopatra do?

You might not recognize these guys.... Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. It was definitely a Success with the Brandito bunch this year. We had a busy night of visiting family & friends as well as some good ol'fashion trick or treating. Annabelle as Cleopatra Gavin as Waluigi...the moustache was short lived... Heaven as a "Southern Belle" who found a witch broom The kids had a blast getting all dressed up!! Well minus the moustache that came with Gavin's costume. He hated that pretty much instantly and I don't think it made it past a visit to Aunt Jessica's. Heaven LOVED her witch broom (though I assured her that no Southern Belle actually ever found a witch broom) and AB fluttered her cape around most of the evening. We also had a surprise guest of Thor with us for a part of the evening. Gabe "Thor" Simmons I call this photo, "The Death of the Stache'" After their candy capturing frenzy had end...
