Horse Theft By Helicopter

I got Sixteen Candles from Netflix, because for some reason I was under the impression it would be good. We thought it was pretty dumb. This boy:
was hoping we'd let him stay up late enough to watch. I said something about picking him up and he jumped under our covers and snuggled up as fast as he could. He's a good boy.

Jess and Paige made tons of people out of play-dough this morning. They're all family members, and Jess can point out who each one is. (He can also name more My Little Ponies than anyone else I know, along with their hobbies and personality traits. I love him for it.) They ran out of play-dough before they could make everyone in the family, though.
Jess is awesome at playing with them. I am in some ways, but not like him. I kind of lost some of my little kid imagination, which makes me sad. Not Jess. He and the kids were playing some game one day, with all their toy horses and ponies, and Caso's helicopter and pilot. When I came in they brought me up to speed with a description of the game. All I remember is Jess had named the pilot "Christiano Vasquez". He and another toy were partners, and horse thieves. That's all I remember, but Jess has now told me that Christiano and the Juggernaut (his partner) would steal ponies/horses, and fly them to the mountaintops via helicopter. The other ponies waited for nightfall to go and rescue their friends. Wow. When I play ponies, our ponies say things like "Hi? How have you been? Oh, it's your birthday? Happy birthday. Let's make a cake and have a party." I assume she prefers to play with Jess. Haha.

Christiano Vasquez.

Nate and I think you guys are so cool! We love other parents who absolutely adore their kids and would rather be at home playing with them more than anywhere else in the world! I do feel a challenge coming...Nate vs. Jess on "My Little Pony Trivia" May the manliest fan win!

Oh gosh yes. Oh, the possibilities. Let's certainly plan this competition. We're willing to fly our family to Wisconsin if need be. Ha.
