Best Day Ever

Sadie and Allie wanted to spend the night. So Virginia and Mike brought them over after school yesterday to leave them with me. Sadie had requested to have the best day ever. She said she remembered the talk we had about pouting and choosing to be happy. This was a good opportunity to see if it had stuck. Saturday morning started with breakfast with Pop Pop. We moved on to an episode of Unicorn Academy followed by several rounds on the memory game.  Then still in the game mode we brought out the Lego game. Allie lasted through almost one round and Sadie played two. Then upstairs for Barbie time. That lasted until lunch. After lunch we built a fort with two tents and several blankets.  And finally, we headed outside. 

Clyde was a little sassy about being caught. Hugo was trying to teach him some bad habits. 

Sadie asked nicely to not have any jingle bells. And I convinced Allie since she got to have them last time that it would be nice for Sadie to not have them this time. 

Sadie even wanted to help Allie with the hoof cleaning. 

Allie still did not want to trot but she said she was having lots of fun riding Clyde. 

Sadie only wanted to trot. 

So it is a lot of me running around with the lunge whip to keep lazy Clyde trotting.  We have a picture of this because Allie asked for my phone to take a picture. 

She took several. I think I deleted around 30. 

But I liked having some proof that I was there. 

 After we finished it was back to the house so I could rest during another episode of Unicorn Academy.  Sadie took some time to search the internet for a craft.  We ended up making colorful butterflies with glitter wings.  On the way home I asked Sadie if it was the best day ever and she said yes!
