Funky Town




My Dancing Queen & My Far Out Hippy

Thursday evening SSDI held their first Family Night for the year. Similar to PRE's Pow Wow, the event provided loads of games, food and fun for the children and family of SSDI students. The theme of the night was "Disco"...which the girls numerously confused with "The 80's". I found extreme offense in this mix up. 

The students have worked very hard  learning a number of "Disco" dances. They took turn performing by age group and even GAVIN GOT HIS DANCE ON!! Gavin was a dance "leader" and danced ON STAGE in front of the group!! My heart exploded for him.

Heaven



I shot a few videos of their performances too....



Here's Heaven :) You can see when she realizes she's being recorded and turns the charm on...


 There's no audio on this one, but Annabelle took her dancing very seriously....




 Here's Gavin on stage...He's kind of hard to spot, but he's got on an orange shirt :) 

 

 Here's another one of Annabelle :)


 


 The kids had a great night, and Heaven declared it the best night of the year!! I think winning a cake in the cake walk could have had something to do with that.....


Check out Gavin's new hair!!

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
