1st Pony Ride

We went to the Pomona Fairgrounds the other day to the RV show and they had a free pony ride station. Steve had gone off to look at something so I decided to see if the kids would ride the horses. Of course Brooke walks right up to the place and wants on...Kyle, he stands back and tells me, "no like it mommy." So, Brooke got on and rode the horse and Kyle stood back with me.

It was sort of funny afterwards. I was trying to put the monkey "leash" back on Brooke and all of a sudden, the horse starts to go pee pee. Well, it was splattering since the horses were on cement. I grabbed Brooke and told her to move back since the horsey was going pee pee. Well, I regret telling her that. The rest of the afternoon was spent by her telling me what the horse had done. We were walking through a motorhome with a sales guy and she looks at me and tells me, "horsey go pee pee mommy." After about the 100th time, I decided to ignore her to see if she would stop staying it. She finally did. However, it did come up the next day in conversation...somehow....who knows! Gotta love what kids remember!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Well, life has just been sort of humming along. I can't believe today is already Halloween. The house is all decorated and we are ready to scare the neighborhood kids. I really don't know how our kids are going to do. Kyle is not really sure about all of this Halloween stuff and is always telling me it's scarey. I have been telling Brooke that it's fake and not real so she will turn around and tell me, "it's fake mommy." Anyhow, we got their costumes awhile ago and Brooke is going to be an elephant and Kyle is going to be a dragon. We were having a hard time getting Kyle to actually try on a costume. He refused to do it. I bought him a costume with green on it since it's his favorite color. He liked it and they both actually put them on the other night and had their pictures taken at Sears.
It turned out really cute. I didn't know if Kyle was going to put the costume on or not so I brought an arsenal of "treats" with me to bribe him. I have never done this before but I really wanted the picture. Bad mommy! Anyhow, I only gave them fruit chews since they were soooo good. I was so happy and couldn't stop telling Kyle how proud of him I was. Hopefully tonight will go well and they will have fun and not have the crap scared out of the.
