Equestrian Girl

Horses: Before anyone thinks badly of me, Equestrian Girl ALWAYS wears a helmet. She only took it off for this picture and was actually in my hand.

Just to prove it, here's another one taken a few minutes earlier in the arena when she's wearing it!! While Stanley is a very good boy and in the 9 months that we've owned him he's never done anything stupid, he is still a horse with his own brain and I'll never dismiss that.

Ol' Stanley was not too interested in having to work today after several days of rest and relaxation and really no serious riding since the last show on August 2nd! Tomorrow Equestrian Girl has a lesson with Eliza so both of them will get a work out by the time she gets done with them!

Motocross: Motocross Boy really, really wants to take his bikes up north with us this weekend and we really WANT to bring them. School work and chores that haven't been done are looming over his head....

Homeschooling: There's a big sale at the Scholastic Warehouse tomorrow. I'm going to go and try to refrain from spending too much. But how much is too much when it's for your children's education? Dare I get up to the amount that is spent per child in public school???
