The fiercest of the Brandito's tried out for Student Government this week. Annabelle gave a fantastic speech, but unfortunately she was not chosen. Each class only gets one representative, and she had 3 kids in her class try out. She didn't seem too upset about not being picked, and said she's planning to try out again next year. Heaven was also interested in trying out but...so was about half her class thus she decided against adding her name to the pot.
We practiced her speech several times at home before her big day at school. Here's a look at one of the out takes.
We've also spent a lot of time this week getting prepared for Heaven's big double digit party this weekend. It's planned to be a swimming party, but with 70% chance of rain, I've prepared several extra games in case we're forced to spend a little extra time indoors than we'd hoped.

We've got lots more to do...and not a lot of time to do it!! That means lots of caffeine...and a little bit of panic.
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 ...
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...
