MORE FARM FUN...

Someday, we will have horses.  It's always been a dream of mine and I hope that at least one of my children will share that passion.  Bailey expresses an interest, often, in getting a pony...but then again, what little girl doesn't? :0)   My prayer is that when she hits 11 or 12, we will be in the position to "add to our family".  I would love nothing more, than to take early morning rides with my girl...or my little guy if Brandon ends up being the one bitten by the horse-bug.

Tom tells me that Brandon "will love sports"...because he loves sports.  Well, if that's the case...then one of my children "will love horses".  He can stay inside and eat chips and yell at the TV.  I'll take the kids out, ride and explore. 

He may beg to differ but, I think I'd be getting the better end of the deal :0)

FUN ON THE FARM...

Today we had a lot of fun doing a great activity...we visited a small farm in Oxford, Georgia.  They had some animals, a corn maze, a HUGE slide, hay ride and a bouncy house.  The weather was great, sunny and about 70 with a nice breeze.  Boo loved the big slide and I think would have ran through the corn maze two or three more times if we would have let her.  She got a kick out of the hay ride and enjoyed visiting the animals.  Brandon was pretty content "riding" on mommy, but he did want to get down a couple of times to run after sissy.  We're in trouble once this little man starts walking!  I'm not sure he'll do that much "walking" :0)

We ended up taking a ton of pictures so...I'll post some tonight and then some more tomorrow.

Happy Fall Y'all!

I'M SMARTER THAN YOU...

This post is for the YiaYia (my mom).

You know how parents often say, "I hope that someday, you have a child that's just like you"?  And it's not said in love, but as more of a "payback".  There's this mom in Bailey's class, she has two little boys and these boys are pretty darn hyper and they get into a good bit of trouble.  I laughed one day when she told me that she had "earned these children".  Apparently, she got into lots of trouble growing up...so she laughs (and agrees) when her mom tells her that she earned her boys :0)

Well, I was a pretty good kid however...I did have a tendency to be a little sassy.  I also went through this phase where my parents knew nothing.  At one point, I told my mom that my teachers at school knew more than her because, after all, they were my educators and she was just...well, my mom.  Lovely, right?  So, fast forward 25 years or so and I'm driving down the road with my beautiful girl who is telling me something about dinosaurs and she's kind-of making it up as she goes along :)  Boo is telling me something, which I know is not true, but I had tried to correct her once and she got defensive...so instead I let it go and told her, "wow, I did not know that".   Her response (not sassy, but just in her cute matter-of-fact 5 year old way)..."I'm smarter than you". 

I guess I earned this child :0)
