Phantom of the Opera

The kids decided that they wanted to have a "Phantom of the Opera PJ Party".

They called up a couple of friends and it was on.



Rule #1- PJ's do NOT have to match!



Rule #2- You MUST share your blanket with the kid sittin' next to ya.



Rule #3- No one is allowed to use the words "Personal Space".



Rule #4- everyone MUST acknowledge that REAL MEN love the Phantom of the Opera.



One of the perks of having an Aunt & Uncle with Horses is the"CAN'T RIDE IN ANYTHING BUT BOOTS" rule - "if ya ain't got none..ya gotta get some".

Layton and Riley, whom we now affectionately refer to as WEED FEET, had grown out of their boots .....so guess what?

Off to the Boot Store.



Riley(not to be outdone by the Thaggard children- who jingle when they walk)
also requested a pair of spurs...she said her Daddy lost her others...Hmmmm ....JOE?

So after finding straps and spurs that everyone was happy with.... we were ready for Riding Day!


Just to give you an idea of what boots & spurs go through in this family....
These are only 12 hours old and they already look like they have had them for months.....
and honestly...they already STINK!

Life on the farm is sweet.

Peace.
