Western Week








Last week was Western Week at school. We bought the girls cowboy boots and button snap shirts (we already had the hats). I would try the boots on several times and the girls would leave them on for a brief moment and then kick them off.(as you can see from the picture) Brooke especially didn't like them. She would say, "no mommy". So I made the executive decision to take the boots back and just let them wear their tennis shoes. I just didn't want to spend the money for one day if they weren't going to wear them any other time. I really wanted them to like them because I so wanted to put those boots with denim skirts when it got warmer. I really wanted a bright pink boot instead of a pale pink so I guess it all worked out for the best.
The girls had a little rodeo at their school and had stick horse races and sang a song. They were so cute. Presley did better with the song and Brooke did better with the race. I took my video camera and got some cute video. When I left and got in my car I just had to watch the video and it was cute but my videoing needs some work. I would forget to turn it of some of the time because I would grab my camera to take a picture. As I was sitting in the car I stated watching videos when the girls were babies and when they started walking. It really made me kind of sad and glad at the same time. Sad that I no longer have babies and glad that they are getting easier.
It was a bittersweet moment. It was a fun time for me. Brooke and Presley mommy loves you very much.
