Eggstreme Eggdrop

It's really unfair to all the other kids to be this cute.

Last Saturday me and Heaven got our Pre Easter on at Immanuel Baptist's Eggstreme Eggdrop. It was much more organized this year, but when you're dealing with hundreds of kids, thousands of eggs and a few crazy excited parents like myself...there is only so much organizing you can do. In short, it was a total and complete madhouse...like last year but with straighter lines.

The highlight of the event, as expected is the egg hunt. I really don't know why they call it an egg hunt however because it takes place in a field with literally thousands of unhidden eggs. They're just laying out in the open for the snatching...and snatched they were! But not before a helicopter does a fly over dropping the final eggs into the field.

Once the "go" is given, complete and utter madness follows. MADNESS I tell you.

Heaven racked up quite a stash in her egg snatching sprint. She did share with the smaller kiddos who hadn't gotten quite as many. After the egg craziness had calmed down, we met up with some friends and spent the rest of the time playing games and waiting in crazy long lines for various germ filled bounce houses and slides. Not really my idea of fun, but the kids seem to enjoy it. The pound of candy they each brought home probably didn't hurt either.

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
