The Horse

One day when Loreli and Shea went on a walk...well really Loreli escaped and Shea chased her down and instead of bringing her home they went on a walk. I was too busy for such a walk because I was using my precious hands to stir food or hold a baby. Anyway, this one day when they went on a walk they passed a quite icky looking home and the lady that lived there asked if Loreli would want a horse. Shea said "sure" and then moments later after loading it in the pickup and unloading it we had a horse in our backyard! It's the perfect animal for us...we don't have to feed it, provide it with shelter or give it any attention. Perfect!

In this picture I asked Loreli what sound a horse makes and she said "RAAAWWRRRR!"

Don't you just love those squishy cheeks?

Dress Up!

One morning last week Loreli before getting ready for the day Loreli brought me a dress from the costume box in her room. She was twirling and prancing all about and then realized that the empire waist on the dress allowed for some excellent storage options.

hmmm...let's see what I've got in my dress.

A book! Let's show brother Jack a picture of a fish.

Throwing a silent tantrum because I fixed her hair. Thankfully she doesn't know what a real tantrum sounds or looks like!

Later on she found a lion costume that I found brand new at a thrift store for $1.50. It's a tad big, but it does the job at entertaining her and us parents because she walks around saying "raaawwwwrrrrr!"

And now we know what to be for halloween.
