Goats are HILARIOUS!!!

This morning while Boonie Mom was checking E-Mail, she called Creator's Son and I over. It was a video of hilarious baby goats playing to the tune of 'Jingle Bells'. It was super funny. It is amazing what goats do!

That got me thinking about Mustang's goats. Her littlest ones have gotten pretty well grown, and Trixie loves herding the goats up! The goats run from the scary horse, and Trixie loves chasing them up and down and back and forth across her pasture.

Anyway, we found out that they have a website... and DVDs you can buy. It is hilarious. and I wouldn't want you to miss out on this. It is hilarious!

And they are even worried about the children's safety! (human, this time:D) If you click on 'behind the scenes", they have a note : Please tell your child that they should not butt their heads together like the goats.

It is worth taking the time to watch, and they have the goats playing to different tunes, too.

They show the goats playing with their camera men, and tell about that and all. Take the time to read and watch practically everything, even the 'Cast' video.

I promise you will get your laugh for the morning!

Who Filled the Pool With Strawberry Jell-O?!

Alright, who filled the pool with strawberry Jell-O? Who did it and why? I imagine it wasn't Annie or Josh,  they're to busy playing with Techa and Blaze. It wasn't the baby, she can't walk yet. That leaves Firefly or Creator's Son. 'Fess up, who did it? Thank you Creator's Son. I'm glad you confessed, but why? You don't know, you guess you got BORED?!?!?! Sorry buddy, you can't chew you're way outta this one. But one more question.

WHY COULDN"T IT HAVE BEEN GRAPE???!!

Techa and Blaze

Continued from "A Midnight Visitor"

"Now what?" Annie asked Josh.

"Well, I think we better give them some food-"

"FOOD!!!!!" They heard from the kitchen. A millisecond  later, a red blur came at a zillion miles per hour and hit Josh in this stomach.

"Mom and Dad aren't up yet, so we usually don't go outside, but they would go crazy if they found out we now have dragons. We could take them fishing at our pier!" Annie said, having a great idea. "Then we could take them to the island, if they promised not to tear the tree house down."

Josh nodded, and the twins slipped outside, dragons in tow.

On the pier, Josh explained how to fish.

" First, you see those shadows? Those are fish. They taste good. Try grabbing one with your claw," he told the two.

Techa, Annie's green dragon, caught a fish first try. He ate it, his eyes widened, and, dunking himself in again, went crazy for fish.

Blaze, Josh's red dragon, did just about the same.

"Come on!" Annie called. "Time to take them to the island!"

She ran through over growth until she reached a wall of leaves. She gently pressed through, and came onto an island, surrounded by water.

She let Techa choose which of the five spots he wanted. He chose the one in the middle, and then asked, "Fishies? Me eat?"

"Yes, Techa, you can eat the fish"

"Rawr!!!!!!!" Annie heard a splash, and a couple seconds later, a "Nummy food!"

The Midnight Visitor

Every once in awhile, I will post random stories. This is one.

Annie woke with a gasp. Was the scuffling noise she'd heard just a dream? She didn't hear again, and lay back in bed. But right as she was about to drop off to sleep, she heard it again. This time, she woke her twin brother Josh.

"Josh, I heard something downstairs!" She told him in a rushed whisper.

He nodded and grabbed his baseball bat.  He and Annie slowly descended the staircase. The thing made a sound, one that proved it was VERY close. Fright held the twins still.

Annie mouthed, "What is it?" Josh shrugged.

Finally, they decided it was safe and they searched their house. They found no sign of it. Annie then raced upstairs and practically leaped into the inviting bed. She waited for Josh to come, but he didn't. She glanced at the clock. 3:27. She sighed, and tiptoed downstairs to find her brother holding a small, sleeping red dragon. In a moment, another dragon came out. It was the same size, but green. It yawned, crawled into her lap and curled up. It slept, purring.

Suddenly Annie awoke from the strange dream and gasped. There, in her lap, was a hungry, purring, green dragon.

Christmas Already?

On Friday, we went to get Nana's Christmas tree. It was only 2 days till Mom's birthday, so she got to choose lunch.

Anyway, so this year it was one of the shortest years for finding a Christmas tree. We marked two, then found the one we really wanted. I sawed it down, just like last year. Then Creator's Son and I raced ducks, and I won every time but once.

Then it was time for lunch and we ate at O.S.T, and I ate Jell-O and ribs. Then we went to some gift shop type stores and I got the most awesome horse shirt ever.

On the way home, the best thing happened. There were horses grazing along the side of the road in a pen, and they were close enough we could get out and pet them. One little guy, a Shetland paint, I almost pet, but he was afraid of the flash on Nana's camera, so I didn't quite get to, but he sure was cute.

I almost gave up on petting one of the others, all of which were normal sized, when a pretty white one with its mane braided came over. I got to pet it a little bit on its head, but it too soon wandered away. Then a beautiful chocolate colored one came over. He was really pretty and sweet. I think he is a Morgan, but I don't know for certain. He let me pet him all over, and then we had these candy canes that were about an inch long, and we gave him a piece out of one. He loved it! He was so sweet and I hated to leave, but he then began to go off to play with his friends. I was glad to meet him, and I call him Flash.

Home School Moms: We're Not Perfect Either

Long title, I know. But it has a meaning.

On Tuesday when we headed out to the Park, Mom shut the door which I had, as usual,  locked. We got to the car without a key into the house, a phone, a car key, nothing. So Mom locked us out of the house. The back door? Locked also. The windows we can't open, because they lock when closed. We hadn't made an extra key, even though we had done this at the Hunt house when we were supposed to be Co-op early.

So Mom got the phone number for where our land lord works ( yes, we rent), and we walked over to the EWA ( place next door) to ask to use their phone. Well, right before we went in, a truck that looked like our land lord's pulled in.

I ran over, shouting, and caught her attention. "Hey, um, it appears we locked ourselves out of the house."

So, she had an extra key that we got in with, and we didn't get to the Park any later than planned.

So Home School Moms, we're not perfect either.
