Wednesday, the babysitter's granddaughter had strep throat. I asked if I needed to keep the girls. Virginia said that would be nice. There was a free movie at the local movie theater, David at 9:30 A.M. Sadie and Allie had never been to a movie theater.
I thought I got off easy as we went through the lobby and sat down. Two minutes later they asked for popcorn. There was a "deal". Four dollars for a box of popcorn and a small drink. The only non pop choice was HiC. I told them they could not eat the popcorn until the movie started. Allie thought the commercials were the start. And she is not good at making a drink last any time. She was finished with that in 15 minutes. Therefore, we had to make two trips to the bathroom during the movie.
Sadie was very excited about the experience. When the lights dimmed she gasped and asked, "what's happening?" I told her there would be a bunch of commercials that we couldn't skip. After each commercial, she would do a little gasp and say, "what's going to happen next?" After the movie I asked if they liked it. YES! Sadie said there was no point asking what she liked best because she liked everything. She said she wanted to go back every day and watch David again.
After the movie we went to the park where Chautaugua was offering a free craft; scrunchie, headband, hat or tote. They both chose headband.
I think they turned out very cute.
I had to stop at the post office to mail something that I had sold on eBay. Who knew that people want old computer punch cards. Anyway, they had never been in the post office either. The postmaster gave them each a book and a toy. Then it was back to the house. I had picked up Little Caesar's Pizza for lunch. I told them they could see the new foal and I had a new princess costume for dress up ($1 from the deals store.) After lunch they chose dress up first. I have failed in their equestrian training.
We finally made it out to see the colt. There were lots of "oh, how cute" comments.
And they were both able to pet him.
He was very cute.
I had put their head bands on and wanted to take a picture. Allie was not having it at first.
Then she perked up. (notice she put her dress on inside out after princess dress up. When I said we needed to change it she said no, it was fine.)
She even did some posing.
But this was my favorite face.
Sadie rather likes her picture taken. I think the headband really suits her hair style.
She too wanted to do some posing.
Meanwhile, Allie had taken her headband off and put it back on herself. She said she liked it that way and didn't want me to fix it.
And let's not forget about Clyde. Sadie wanted to braid flowers into his mane. So I did a long French braid and let them stick wildflowers in it.
Sadie LOVED it. She said if we go to a horse show she wants him to look just like this.
And notice she picked out a flower print dress to ride in with her cowboy boots.
Allie still doesn't want to trot. But she does like walking around.
Sadie on the other hand only wants to trot. I think Clyde might get along with Allie a little better. I was suppose to have them fed and ready to leave for Bible school at 5:30. They got peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for supper. It was a full day.
