Golden Rule

It's HERE!!! THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS HERE!!
I'd like to introduce, the cutest kids walking thru the doors of Pea Ridge Elementary today!! *Warning* if you are sensitive to awesomeness, you'd might want to stop viewing now.

I'd also like to note that Gavin's hair is actually NOT as long as it appears & is not ACTUALLY in Beiber style somewhat blocking his vision...okay, that's not true it is...but we're getting him a haircut ASAP!




We started out the morning with breakfast at Chick-Fil-A...You know, for brain power....and chicken mini's. The girls chose their own back to school outfits, while Gavin chose to leave the decision up to me. Probably because he think's I'm so cool....yes, I'm sure that's it.

As you all know, we're very proud of being "cool parents" so we walked all the kids to their classrooms. Though they all insisted, this was not necessary...we thanked them for their thoughtfulness, and continued as planned. 

Gavin forbid me from taking any photos of him AT school, so you'll have to trust me that he was very excited about his class. By that of course I mean, he was not excited at all...but he did talk to a few kiddo's in the hall on the way to his classroom...which for Gavin, is pretty much as lively as it gets. He has a black, grey & blue checkered backpack...which he settled on after about  2 seconds of browsing and was no longer interested in searching. He chose a Mario lunchbox in a similar fashion.

Heaven is rocking a pink, sparkled back pack with a jeweled peace sign that is surrounded by mini lights that light up when you move. I wonder how long that will take to get old....or run out of batteries...for now, she's thrilled. Unlike Gavin, it took her 3 stores, and about 2 hours of narrowing it down to settle on her choice. She also has a rock'n Pink lunchbox with her name on it, thanks to Aunt Casey!! 



Annabelle selected a purple backpack this year. It's got cute lab puppies on the front, and like Heaven, her choice was throughly thought out. Though she did go back and forth, and back and forth between several other selections...she finally settled on the puppy backpack. Who can say no to puppies anyway. She also has a retro lunchbox personalized with her name thanks to Aunt Casey!!


Watch out PRE the Brandtito kids are back on the loose!!

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
