Eli lost a tooth

The boys watched some tv.  I read Little House and then we played several games of Sequence. Adam and Jacob vs Eli and I.  Adam and Jacob did some school work.  After lunch we went outside.  I worked on the flower beds.  Adam and Eli went to play on the sand hill.  Jacob spent some time in the coop with the chicks.  Then the boys played some basketball.  I sat on the swing with Wyatt and called Vikki.  The boys helped me clean the house.  They did their school work and practiced instruments.  I sat on the glider and called to talk to Nana.  The weather was beautiful today. The boys played minecraft with Daddy when he finished work.  Adam and Eli went out to play in the sand until dinner was ready.  Daddy grilled burgers for dinner.  After dinner we sat on the swing by the fire.  We called to talk to Grandma.  The boys played in the sand for a couple hours.   Then they came to sit by the fire.

The boys woke up early to watch tv.  We watched our church service online which was great.  Jared and I went to town for groceries and got pizza for lunch.  I went into meijer and Jared waited in the van.  There were a lot of people in the store and many were wearing masks.  After lunch we all went outside.  Adam sat in the hammock and it ripped in half so he went down.  The material had dry rotted in the sun.  Adam went up to play on the sandhill.  Jacob was in the coop with the chicks and Eli was running around the yard.  Jared and I worked on digging up the sweet margarin around the propane tank.  Jared brought out the rotor tiller and tilled around the tank.  We split the sweet margarin and spaced it out to replant around there.  The boys helped me pick up sticks in the yard and we burned them in the fire pit.  Jared started the water pump to drain the standing water.  We took a walk in the wood and sat on the swing.  It was such a beautiful day today.  This evening we watched Newsies and had popcorn pop and ice cream.

The boys were watching tv when we woke up this morning.  We had donuts and banana bread for breakfast.  We went outside to work in the yard.  The boys helped Daddy load boards into the tractor that were used on the old flower beds.  They put them at the end of our road.  Jared used his chain saw and did some trimming in the woods. We started our brush pile on fire.  It was sprinkling out.  We dug up our day lilies to divide and replant.  There were so many so we planted some in the woods near our swing.  One of Eli's chicks died today.  She has been lethargic and wasn't eating.  Eli was sad so we buried her in the woods and he picked a rock to mark the spot.  Eli helped us worm all the sheep and lambs.  Adam, Jared and I played several games of Sequence.   This evening we watched Remember the Titan's.

Eli came out with me to take care of the sheep and check on the chicks.  I read to the boys until lunchtime.  We are really enjoying the Little House books.  Adam got out the hammock and set it up on the deck.  The boys like laying on that with the kitty's.  I did some exercises and then we took a walk in the woods. Eli and I sat on the glider and I called to talk to Vikki. This evening we sat by the fire and mades smore's  Adam and Eli played along the ditch and took the lopers with them.  After a while we saw them with a long rope pulling a large log.  We called to talk to Grandma and Grandpa and then called to talk to Nana.

It was such a beautiful day today.  I read Little House and the boys ate while I continued reading through lunch.  Daddy came home for lunch and listened to me reading.  He fell asleep and I had to wake him up. He ran back to the bedroom because he was a few minutes late for a meeting.  It was a beautiful day today.  I worked on the flower beds.  This evening we sat on the swing and called Grandma and Grandpa.  The boys had fun running around in the woods, playing with a rope.  Adam made a swing with the rope between two trees.
