A lesson in breeding of the animal kind

My kids are going to get a lesson on the birds and the bees at a young age living in the country.
Their dad was getting ready to take his mare over to get bred. Well the boys were asking him where he was going.
He gave them the short version of what he was doing. My six year old looks at him with the look of the old wheels are a turnin'.
"You mean the horses are going to dress up like pieces of bread? That's just silly dad! " I laughed so hard! My husband looks at him and laughs "Yep son that is exactly what they do." Gotta love it. I think that my boys had it figured out when they went with their dad to take the horse.

Track and barf!

My sweet eight year old had his first track and field meet this year. He was so excited, and he practiced all the time.
The night before the big races he was so excited that he had trouble sleeping. The next morning he woke up bright and
early to get ready. He got dressed, put on his new running shoes, and then headed in the kitchen for his breakfast of champions.
(AKA oatmeal) He ate it then proceeded to the garbage can to throw it all back up! Yep. That is nasty. Let's not try to get to the toilet where it could be flushed. He ended up taking 3rd place in the 50 yard dash. Pretty good for a very nervous kid.
