Day 220 - carousel

I had asked the carousel attendant, Tyler, if he was familiar with a story about 2 little ghost children haunting the Jantzen Beach Carousel?
Tyler proceeded to tell me a story about a time when it was closing time at the Jantzen Beach mall where the carousel is, that a small child was telling his mother that he wanted to go ride the carousel with the other little kids, but there were no children on the carousel.
This was the perfect adventure to experience after VooDoo Doughnuts :)

I was joking with my husband about the story before our adventure, telling him how I'd like to dress my girls up in circa 1920s clothing and have them holding hands singing the Freddy song.
We got a good belly laugh out of the thought.

In the van on the way to the carousel ride, I began to sing and teach the girls the song:
♪♫♪
One, Two, Freddy's coming for you.
Three, Four, better lock your doors.
♪♫♪

BaHahahaha :)
We all laughed! I called to tell my hubby and he laughed and said, "What a fun mom you are".

None of us saw any ghost children, but we will be on the look out~

Day 198 - dancing in the rain

one of the greatest things about being a mom
is teaching my kids that it is ok to be silly
& to play outside of the box

when i told the girls we were going to dance in the rain
they were worried about shoes and coats
i said, we don't need them
it's warm outside
let's go stomp in the mud puddles and
dance in the rain

the girls loved it
thought it was the best
and the next time it rained
hailey shouted, "yeah, it's raining. let's go dance"
~♥it

happy heart, free spirit, spontaneous fun

Day 197 - hand-me-down dress
