Boys just wanna have FUN

I'm keeping the boys home from school today because they are coughing and Isaac says his throat is scratchy so he "can only breathe like chugga chugga chugga chooooo." So, of course, they're playing horses outside. Isaac's been trying to train Jeremiah to be a horse, or to be his own horse and rider, rather than being Isaac's horse. It's mostly working. The past few days they've been playing together more than egging each other on, and it's been great. I think being able to play outside has a lot to do with that. Playing tag inside gets a lot of tears, but playing tag outside gets a lot of laughing. They've both figured out that if one is crying, the other had better start too, or else will get into trouble. So Jeremiah starts crying because Isaac "helped him fall over somehow" and after a few seconds, Isaac starts crying and comes up with "I have an ow on my hand!" Funny boys.
