Cheap Dates

The mini people headed to Orlando today. Since they will be gone a week, we decided to let the kids have special parent date nights on Saturday. John & Gav went to dinner at Mc Donalds & then had a video game night with Gabe. 



Us ladies went to see Willy Wonka at the Pensacola Little Theater.  The girls have been watching the original Willy Wonka to get ready for the show & sang along to many of the songs. It wasn't exactly like the movie of course, but they had a really good time. After the show they got to meet some of the actors and scored themselves their very own "Wonka" candies. This resulted a very detailed car ride conversation about what Annabelle would do should she be the boss of her own chocolate factory. I'm pretty sure, this is Annabelle's dream job. Bottom line, she would share a lot of her candy with her family...but they would also have to visit the fruit and vegetable room so they could stay healthy.  Annabelle was undecided as to whether she herself would visit the healthy room, as she said she'd probably often be too busy.

Genius.

We still owe Annabelle 2 more AR trips so yesterday I thought I'd escape the "hurricane" madness of Pensacola and cross one off our list. We decided to give Auntie Jenny a visit in her new apartment in Mobile (AU Pharmacy Program...GO JEN!) and let her show us around for a while. We drove around campus for a bit and grabbed lunch at Hero's, which is close to her apartment. It has a very "college" feel to it, and Annabelle felt very "cool" to be out with the ladies. After lunch we headed over to the Explorium to waste away the rest of the afternoon. I love the Explorium, because they change their main exhibits our pretty regularly, so no 2 times are ever the same. Plus, it actually attempts to help the kids LEARN something while they're playing....vs just running around like mad heathens.  Annabelle really liked the kid science area & the "matter" exhibit they have. Especially the soap bubble cloud maker. The poor worker re...

Fish Tale

After feeding and watering the dogs for 6 weeks, Annabelle earned herself a fish today! After much debate at Petsmart, she decided on a pink "dragon scaled" beta & a mermaid themed tank. She has named him Poseidon (we're a bit into Percy Jackson right now...for better or worse) though I personally pushed for King Tritian (I mean HELLO it's a mermaid tank!!). She could not wait to get home and get it all set up. Because we (I) underestimated how big the tank we selected is, we set it up in the girls room...as there is no where else to put it. He has lots, and lots of pink decorations...so hopefully he's not too much of a manly man fish.

Carolers

The girls Brownie troop went Christmas Caroling this weekend at University Pines Retirement Community. They were absolutely precious. Words cannot express the cuteness overload. Several local troops were there and they sang for about half an hour. The girls have been practicing their songs for weeks, and they did spectacularly. The adorable retiree's gave them rave reviews and they were stopped by several people asking them to come back next year.  Could they be any cuter? When we got home, we thought it only seemed fair to get the dogs in the spirit too..... Kingsley the Great Bayleigh the Princess
