Life as a Brandtito

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...

Introducing the Cutest Country Folk to enter the doors of Pea Ridge Elementary Needless  to say, Gavin could hardly contain his excitement.   Happy Halloween!! The kiddo's can't wait to get in their costumes tonight!!

I'm not sure what's going on with Annabelle's face...maybe she's scared of her A's? Report cards came home today and the Brandtios have done it again!! :) Annabelle brought home straight A's, Gavin all A's and 1 B (and the only E in conduct in the group) and Heaven all A's and 2 B's !! That's pretty darn impressive even if I am partial :) We will be doing some celebrating this weekend for sure!!

      Tonight me & some of the pretiest ladies I know headed to the fair. It's a tradition for us, even though we usually don't ride any of the rides (because we're cheap & SOME PEOPLE are scared of rides that can be snapped together in hours by Carnie Folk.) The people watching & Corn Dogs however, totally make the trip worth it.   I'm also a complete sucker for those freak show exhibits. You know, the ones that claim to have the woman with a snake head and what not...the one's who ALL REASON & SENSE scream FAKE...Yah... I have a *really* hard time resisiting those. I just NEED to know what's inside. I'm also a sucker for the petting zoo's and animal exhibits. The fair really upped their game this year with a special tent filled with exotic animals. They even had BABY white tigers you could feed. I spent several minutes debating if I could possible causally put one in my purse and run. In the end I decided it was a bad ide...

Guess who was nominated as chief of the week this week??? I'll give you a hint....it's these 2 Branditos!!! We celebrated their Chiefly skills with a little Cici's dinner tonight.
