Treaters


Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time  & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet 
(John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats)
Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton.  As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided.
Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really Abbey Bominable was her only option. Apparently the Monster High Girls are like half monster & 1/2 Barbie...so she was part Abominable Snow Man or something...I dunno. It's very strange, but she looked gorgeous just the same.
Being a giant Harry Potter fan I have to say Annabelle's costume made my night!! Annabelle made a stunning Hermione Granger! She got so many compliments on her look because, really, she does kind of look like the Harry Potter starlet!! As she has not had any spell training at Hogwarts, she instead used her wand as a weapon most of the evening. I know, you probably find this rather hard to believe...but alas, it is true. Hopefully she can keep those Hermione Granger grades up this year and have another year of all A's!!

The Actual Hermione Granger... Pretty close, huh??
 

After trick or treating we headed to Whataburger for a quick dinner. The kids really wanted to go to the party at CiCi's but we already did our good deed by going to CiCi's to celebrate Chief of the Week and I can only handle CiCi's like once every 3 months....

Ignore the exhaused look :)
We brought home WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY to much Candy!!! The kiddos got to have 4 pieces each before bedtime. We also arrived home to find our first note of the Christmas Season from Santa! It actually arrived Tuesday, but in the hustle of  the night was temporarily lost....APPARENTLY per the note, it looks like we'll be having an Elf on the Shelf (magical tool for parents) again this year...YAY!!!!

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
