Right from the horses mouth...

G is obsessed with horses these days. Really truly obsessed. We pretty much ONLY check out horse books when we go to the library, when we're driving outside the city, we must all be on the lookout for horses, etc. I don't really know when and how this happened. It used to be dogs....a little while back it was cows...now?? horses....it cracks me up when he talks about appaloosas.

So, last night, we were riding in the car after a trip to Target. G had helped buy himself a little horse figure toy. As we were riding, G was making some annoying noise. E asked him very nicely to stop. G kept it up. We told G that his brother had asked him nice, and he needed to stop. Here's the interaction that followed:

G: It was the horse!!
Me: Well, you'd better tell the horse to stop.
G: He says 'NO!'
Me: Well, the horse had better stop, or he will get a time out or a spanking.
G: He will say YES!!!!

T just about bust out laughing. It really was funny. At least the horse was able to dodge disciplinary action. Oh, interesting about this horse toy. G asked me if it was a mommy horse. I said I think so...oh, let me see...so I look at the horse. WOW!!! Um...I've seen udders on cow toys and stuff, but this horse is, um, CLEARLY a stallion. Good grief. You rarely see 'male' toys be anatomically correct. This one sure is. I simply informed G that it was a daddy horse. I didn't show/tell him how I knew. Heaven knows my boys do NOT need another reason to discuss their, um, anatomy these days.

Anyway, things are good here. We had our regular play/mom's group this morning, then met a friend and her 2 boys at a park for 2 1/2 hours or a little better. Then home for G to have a nap, E and I did a very short and modified school session, as we were finished with our work for the week (actually quite ahead in some areas). Tonight we met some friends at a BIG wooden fort/play structure about 20 minutes away, and then since it gets dark SO early anymore, we went back to their house to play.

No huge plans for the weekend. Soccer game tomorrow afternoon. Church and SS on Sunday. we'll see what else we drum up for fun...and hopefully some relaxation. Have a great weekend everyone!
