Kendyl's Go Texan Day

Kendyl had Go Texan Day at school, so I headed out to Cavendar's Boot City to make sure she had all the proper princess cowgirl attire. I was so excited about this day for her, that I went crazy shopping and bought a ton of stuff just to make sure she had something that 1) fit her, and 2) that she liked, which is becoming increasingly hard to do these days. So, 4 pairs of cowboy boots, 5 shirts, and 2 cowboy hats later, we had our outfit picked out and ready to go (I returned all of the unwanted stuff later).

Of course, I bought an outfit for Kamryn too, but she didn't want to cooperate for the picture.

On a side note and to justify number 2 above, Kendyl has become such a little fashion queen lately, that I cant even get dressed in the morning without her approval of what I am wearing to work. If she doesn't like it, then I have to change clothes until I wear something that she approves of. She will actually tell me, "mommy, I don't like that shirt," and I will have to find another one. On top of that, she has chosen Wednesdays to be the dress / skirt day for all three of the Burgess girls. I, for one, do not typically like wearing dresses, but I will do it for my little girl...so every Wednesday, I wear a skirt or a dress to work...even in the freezing cold weather.

Back to the original reason for this post, Go Texan Day... Kendyl's school goes all out for this day, and they even have "pony" rides for the kids. Kendyl kept telling me that they get to ride a pony at school, so I was pretty excited for her. I was able to leave work just in the nick of time to arrive and watch her ride her so-called "pony" at school. When I arrived, I saw my baby girl, climbing aboard this...

A full blown, huge horse named Star. This is no pony, and no one even walked beside her while she rode this huge horse. She was so proud of herself though, and happy that her horse was pink...(he had a pink bridle, but she called the horse pink).

I guess she was a little tired out from that "pony" ride!
