A Freaking Trumpet??!!??

We hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. We had a wonderful, lazy weekend filled with family, friends, some rainy day movie marathons and even a bit of shopping. It was just the low key weekend I was looking for.

It was not quiet however.

So this happened

Saturday, the mini Lady Brandts & Ava worked for Nana at Flordiatown Station. The store is closing, and they are holding yard sale's on Saturdays to clear out the remaining items. Nana paid the girls each $10 for helping and they were also allowed to pick one item from the store to bring home with them. Ava picked a doll, Annabelle picked a tea set, and Heaven picked a trumpet. A FREAKING TRUMPET! 


Not only did she pick a trumpet...but this is a USED trumpet...so basically she spent a large portion of the weekend making loud trumpetish sounds from a slightly bent...not fully functioning...key sticking trumpet that a strangers mouth and spit have been on. Thanks Nana. Thanks a lot.


Gavin thoroughly enjoyed the college football season kicking back off this weekend. He got to watch his Gators claim their first victory on Saturday, but he watched pretty much any game that he could catch on TV as well. He even watched the Nole game with us on Monday evening...though he claimed he wanted both teams to loose.

Gavin was not fan of our new porch decor. He was also not a fan of the AP poll that came out this week putting FSU ahead of UF!!





We decided that since Gavin has a room  here...he can continue to use the front door...at least on non game days.



This is the girls doing the Seminole "chop" clearly we've got some work to do.

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
