Fun at the Neighbors
Our neighbor, Mike, celebrated his 50th birthday today at his house with friends. Since so many of his friends have young kids, he got our other neighbor who owns a horse farm to educate the kids about horses. They learn what it takes to care for a horse, what they eat, etc... and they were about to brush the horse which they really enjoyed.
The high point of the visit was watching the horse and trainer perform tricks in the arena. After the show the kids were all able to feed the horse a carrot from their hands.
The trick that got the most applause was when the horse rared up like in the old westerns.
Afterwards were toured the rest of the farm and learned about the different types of horses. Ok, maybe there wasn't much learning but there was a lot of fun.

One Tired and Happy Kiddo
Last night was my last night alone with kids as Denise was returning on Sunday. We meet Stacy & Kelly and thier kids Jessie an Anthony for dinner and play. It was pretty late when we got home and Phoebe was thrilled to see Andy sleeping in her bed when we got home. I expected Andy to get up and move to another spot but he didn't so, Phoebe had a sleeping partner at least for a few hours.
The Miley Dance
Denise has been out of town for the past week for the second time in three weeks. On Tuesday I was at my wits end with work and trying to keep up with the girls. Thanksfully our very good friend kept the girls for a few night so I could have a break. Tonight, Friday, is movie night so I picked up the girls and we had a good dinner and then watched Hannah Montana The Movie.
At the end Miley Cyrus sings the song "The Climb" and while Dylan was too tired to move, Phoebe and Chloe on the other had were raring to go. The result is what I have named "The Miley Dance". Take a look at it here.
The video was the third shot because I messed up the first two and they still had this in them!!!
Dylan's First School Play
Today was Dylan's first school play function. Denise was out of town on business so she couldn't make it but her second family, Myra, Emma & Ashley, did make it. It is amazing how Dylan has blossomed over the past few months. Kindergarten has been very very good for her. My guess is her teacher Ms. Brumley has been a key in her emotional development. I know she has been in her knowledge development.
