We walked (the boys rode) down to see the horses. Cedrik asked if we could make some horse ears. Of course we can!
A trader joes bag, yarn and scissors and I had created ears (extra long ones). Then they needed the mane. THEN I really spiced things up by showing them a picture of a Pegasus. So, they needed wings.
They needed to try the grass, to see what it tasted like. Freddie exclaimed, "I love grass! It tastes like honey!" Yum. Also, he really wanted to fly. He thought I had made real wings. He asked several times how he was supposed to get up in the sky and thought if he rode on his scooter really fast, he'd make it. I remember wanting to fly as a kid and really thought I could if I just wished hard enough. Now, I wish he could fly. Maybe if we both wish hard enough, it will happen.
Brown paper bags and bubble wrap have been some of their favorite things to play with. The price (and the smiles produced!) can't be beat!
You are the best mom ever.
