Hello and Welcome! This is my public blog, for sharing little bits of my life with my online friends from around the world. I'll update it with funny little things the kids do, big moments, things I think about, and other such nonsense. If I find a good recipe, I'll share. If I have a tip to make life easier, I'll share. If I win a million bucks in the lottery . . . well, I don't buy lottery tickets, so I'll stop there.

If you are a family member or close friend, perhaps you are looking for my private blog.

Spaghettio the Yellow Horse

This is a story that The Z-monster, Didi, and I made up this evening. It is as long as The Z-monsters's attention span (when he has more exciting things to distract, like deep-dish homemade pizza). Everything The Z-Monster added will be in this color, everything Didi added will be in this color.

Once upon a time, it was a beautiful summer day, and the sun was shining. Spaghettio the Yellow Horse woke up and went outside. He breathed the fresh morning air, and thought, "I will go exploring in the big world today."

He looked around him, wondering which way he would go. In front of him was a beautiful blue ocean. Behind him was a deep magic forest. To his right was a tall, tall mountain, so tall that you couldn't see the top. To his left was a wide, flat desert, with snakes and lizards. Spaghettio decided to go back inside and get his Mommy.

"Mommy," he asked, "would you go exploring with me in the big, big world?"

Mommy, of course, was delighted. "I would love to explore with you, Spaghettio! Where are we going?"

"Outside, Mommy!" responded Spaghettio.

"Ahh, I see." said Mommy. "What should we bring exploring with us? Do we need food?"

"Yes, Mommy, pretzels and chips!"

"Hmm, Spaghettio, that doesn't sound very healthy. Do you think we should bring some fruit too?"

"No."

"Oh, ok. Do you think we should bring some veggies?"

"Oh, yes Mommy!" Spaghettio said with great glee. "Carrots! Broccoli! Corn! Peas! Tomatos!" Then, with great force, and a meaningful glance, he added, "NO Grean Beans!!"

"Wow, that sounds yummy! Do we need to bring anything else?" asked Mommy.

"Yes, Mommy," he replied. "A telescope!"

So, armed with a telescope and lots of snacks, Spaghettio and his Mommy set out to explore the great big world. They went out the door, and looked around. Spaghettio decided he wanted to climb the mountain! So up they went.

They climbed and climbed and climbed. They saw lots of trees. Then, they saw a great, big, waterfall. Spaghettio the Yellow Horse looked through his telescope, and saw a kitchen!

Spaghettio wanted to go look inside. "Shhhh, Mommy. Quiet!" he said. So they very quietly snuck up on the kitchen. Spaghettio looked inside and saw a great big frog.

"Hello!" said the frog, because she was a friendly frog. "My name is Daphne! This is my kitchen."

Everyone was hungry, so they had a snack. They made a yummy salad with the veggies, and ate chips and pretzels, and drank water with icecubes.

After the snack, they washed dishes in the kitchen, and Spaghettio helped! Then, they kept exploring up the mountain. They went higher and higher until there was snow on the mountain, and it was cold. So cold that everyone was shivering. All of the sudden they were at the top of the mountain. Spaghettio looked around with his telescope. He could see the whole wide world! He saw Ducky's nest! Down the mountain went Spaghettio the Yellow Horse, his Mommy, and Daphne the Frog, until they came to Ducky's house.

"Hi Ducky!" said Spaghettio. "Do you want to explore with us?"

"NO!" said Ducky, and stormed off.

The End

Spaghettio is probably the most awesome name ever for a horse! Thanks for sharing!
