We are having the craziest gloomiest weather. We are taking advantage of the weather though and cleaning out this house. I was working in the toy room a bit. Dad has been so good working in his office. I asked for some space for my scrap book. It is going to be a lengthy process though. So much computer stuff and crap to go through. This morning was the beginning of the kids Fun With Horses Class. It was really cute. Both kids seemed really interested and even Bret and I learned a thing or two about horses. I don’t know much about horses at all. The kids learned to put on the harness, groom/brush the horse, put the saddle on, get on and off the horse, and walk the horse. Luckily the kids weren’t too disappointed they didn’t get to ride the horse today. They took care of a horse named Benji. Now Benji is the kid’s favorite horse. I think it will be a great class and wonder if it will spark an interest in horses or not. At the end of the class the kids got to throw some carrots in for the horses. Here are some pics:
We grabbed some lunch on the way home. The kids had fun feeding the birds. When we got home we decided it was time to bob for apples. It was so funny. Nikki was so determined to get an apple. The kids went and got their goggles. Both kids were so wet and putting their heads in the water. They both went after the smallest apples. They had such a great time and we had a great time watching them. I got some silly pics:
The kids had a blast but I was worried they were wet and cold. So after they were done I had them get into a warm bath. Which worked out perfectly as it was bath day anyway. Justin stayed in the bath for the longest time. I think he just liked being warm. The kids have learned all about the paper shredder and think it is the greatest thing ever. Dad and I worked around the house a bit more and the kids played with whatever we were giving away. The kiddos watched some TV while we made some dinner. After dinner it was more play time and straightening up. Somehow in all this cleaning out we made a mess of the house. Dad and Nikki went to run an errand. Justin and I stayed home and played. We used the car carrier as a tow truck and loaded it up and made a chain like a tow truck. The chain was made with ribbon-had to get the girlyness in there. Upstairs the kids were playing amazingly well. Bret and I were in the office. The kids were giggling, lining up animals, and just having so much fun together. Of course they do this before bedtime. We let them play as much as possible but then we had to come in and brush/floss, etc. Both were tired and went to bed pretty quickly.
