That's a lot to squeeze into one post, but we've been busy!!
First and probably most life-consuming is the story of how Brenna became Hannah Montana. 
She was introduced to her at daycare (a classmate dressed like her for Halloween) and she would mention her every once in awhile. A few months later, Grandma bought her a HM pen that played a few lines of one of her songs when you pushed the button at the top - B just LOVES that pen. She quickly memorized the words and would take it everywhere with her. While I had the Starz channel free for a few months, I DVR'd the Hannah Montana: Best of Both Worlds concert movie and showed Brenna. She danced along with the whole movie and LOVED it. Now, we watch it almost daily and know all the words. She goes through costume changes when Hannah/Miley do, she dances just like Hannah/Miley and has her favorite songs (and not-so-favorite songs - she doesn't like the slow ones that she can't dance to). She has even told me "Mom, I'm not Brenna, I'm Hannah Montana" and begs to have her hair curly like Hannah Montana's (actually like Miley Cyrus' without the HM wig). It is adorable and although it happened a lot earlier than I expected, as obsessions go, this one is fun. I get to witness some fantastic dance moves and some beautiful singing by the cutest little girl in the world.

Last year, I was so sick with the flu that I missed this day altogether. So, this year I wanted to do something fun to make the day special. So, we ate green pancakes for breakfast (made the night before since it was a weekday) and then tried green spaghetti for dinner! 
I found a recipe for a green sauce made with spinach, parmesan cheese, milk (I added garlic) and while it looked a little strange, it was tasty. B didn't want to try it - a little too strange for her - she still enjoyed helping make it!

It was super windy and dusty, so we didn't get to stay long, but it was still a fun and different activity. Luckily, we had free tickets thanks to a prize that Tara sort of "won" while impersonating me on the radio - haha. We got to enjoy a frozen banana and a turkey leg while we were there. We went through the petting zoo and saw some kids throw tomatoes in the Vegetable Revenge booth. It was a nice afternoon out - just too bad it was so windy!

Brenna is so much fun to go out and do activities with - I love having someone to go on adventures with me!
