Old woman skin...

Reid was pumping himself up for soccer practice this afternoon and was trying to remember the lyrics to We Will Rock You. I, being the resourceful mom I am, quickly Googled it on my iPhone. I handed him the phone so he could read the lyrics. He instantly began reading and singing the song and I thought the pre-soccer practice crisis had been averted. As he gets to the end, he hands the phone back to me and says, "You don't look anything like her." I quickly glanced down and noticed there was a bikini clad model in an advertisement at the bottom of the lyric page. Nice.

One might think I would leave it alone, but no, not me. I proceeded to quiz my 6 year old just exactly how I didn't look anything like that aforementioned bikini clad model. He bluntly said, "Well, she is taller. And thinner. And she has smooth skin."

Again, one might think I would leave it at that, but oh no. I inquired more. I asked Reid, "How is my skin if it isn't smooth like hers?" Without hesistation he replied, "You have, well, old woman skin." Ah, lovely.

Now, I must say, my loving little boy would have NEVER said that if he thought it would have hurt my feelings. However, he knows not only do I have old woman skin...it's thick, too. I know he still loves me, old woman skin and all.

Some Oaklawn fun

After Reid's soccer game, we picked up our good friend Ryan and headed down to Hot Springs for the day to take him some horse racing and gooooood food. It was all part of Josh's early birthday celebration and we had such a great time. The weather was perfect, the company was entertaining and the food was delicious!

The love of my life.

Josh's attempt at using our new camera. :)

My system of picking the best named horse wasn't all that effective, but it sure was fun!

Josh and Ryan waiting on the next race to begin.

We had such a fabulous time that Josh and I have decided to make this a yearly tradition as part of his birthday. We really couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and fun day.

Spring Soccer

It is already Spring Soccer season and Reid is pumped. He had his first game on Saturday and played awesome (would you ever expect me to say otherwise?).
