One Box? Please.


          In my blogging absence. We've spent a lot of time pedaling cookies. The infamous, Girl Scout Cookies of course.  I think the girls ended up selling about 150ish boxes or so total this year, not too shabby. Plus we worked cookie booths on the weekend and racked in a good bit of cookies for our troop. Of course we did need a few boxes for home as well.....which basically means one of each kind. Except the plain ones. Who eats the plain ones??




          The girls also had World Thinking Day. This year their country was Germany. Our booth had "Real Authentic Root beer" AKA Mug Root beer & German Chocolate Cake....both of which, I'm pretty sure aren't German...but kids don't eat Sauerkraut & Bratwurst (also, they're too young for real beer). Turns out, Kids don't really eat foreign food...or at least the Mini Brandt's don't. Most of the other booths had gone with a similar game plan.


They look a little like Pirates...but really stylish Germanish ones.

Art in the Park

It has been a wonderfully rainy Saturday. We spent the majority of the day today holed up indoors in cozy clothes watching movies and trash TV. As a whole, it was blissful. Sure the kids were BORED ( I know, because they told me about 65 Bazillion times) but nothing beats a rainy afternoon movie marathon & an excuse to wear gym clothes all day long. Well...not much does anyway. Before the downpour started we ventured out to Art in the Park. Heaven was *so excited*. She loves art and was thrilled to have a chance to see "real" artwork and talk with some "real" artists ( I was a little offended she does not consider me a part of this "real" artist list...I mean, she's seen what I can do with some glitter glue). Mr. Eric Cobb was at the top of her list. He's been a Bestie of mine for years and is amazingly talented. If you're in the market for some palette knife artwork, you should check out his fabulousness  for yourself. Totally not the ...

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 A...
