 Bluebird

Haha, Eli

Adam and Eli woke up while I was doing my exercises.  Then Adam woke up Jacob so they could watch some tv.  I read Little House to the boys.  Adam and I played chess and I won.  Jacob did some reading and Eli played with legos.  We all played a game of Sorry.  We had alot of laughs during this game.  Jacob won.  Then Eli and Adam.  I came in last.  It was so funny because Adam couldn't seem to get out of start until the rest of us had three already in our home.  He is so much fun whether he's winning or losing a game.  After lunch we went outside for our walk in the wood.  We saw a bluebird.  We were getting ready to go in, but still in the middle of the woods, and I said, "first one to the door wins."  Well they all took off high speed right straight through the water.  I think the water splashed over Eli's head.  Haha.  Adam and Eli played a little minecraft and Jacob raced on the xbox.  Then the boys worked on school work and practiced instruments while I did my afternoon exercises. We watched Drain the Bermuda triangle.  Daddy finished work around 4:30 and he played minecraft with the boys.  After dinner Daddy and Adam played chess and Daddy won.  Eli played outside, catching chickens.  He locked them up in the coop for the night.  He made a bow and arrow from some sticks he'd found.  Adam and Daddy played Ticket to Ride with double the trains.  Daddy won. Adam worked on his stop motion video.

There was about an inch of snow on the ground this morning.  Did my exercises and then the boys watched some tv.  I read a couple chapters in Little House.  Adam and I played a game of chess and he won.  Jacob did some reading and Eli played with legos. Adam had an online class meeting.  They got to discuss what they've been doing while we've been off.  Eli and I played a couple games of Sorry.  We each won a game. Adam had fun creating stop motion videos with his minecraft legos. After lunch we took a walk in the woods.  The sun came out and quickly melted the snow.  The boys worked on school work and I did some exercises.  We watched Drain the Titanic.  When Daddy finished work we went out to take care of the sheep.  Then the boys and Daddy played minecraft.  After dinner Jared and I took a walk in the woods.  The sun felt so nice.  We sat on the swing and called Grandma and Grandpa.  After showers we watched some tv.  Then we read to the boys before bed.

The boys woke up early to watch tv.  We had some coffee and banana bread for breakfast.  Took care of the lambs/sheep. At 9:30 we watched our church service on the tv.  Daddy and Adam played a couple games of chess.  Daddy won quickly the first game and Adam won the second.  Eli spent a lot of time playing outside.  He was having fun catching chickens.  Jacob spent a long time reading in his room. One of our lambs in limping badly on her leg.  We caught her and didn't feel any swelling or heat.  We went to town for Aldi's pizza's and breadsticks for lunch.  This afternoon we were taking a walk in the woods and my parents came driving down our road.  I was so surprised and very happy to see them!!  We had a nice visit across the ditch.  Seeing them really made my day!!  Melissa called me today too so it was really nice getting to talk to her again.  And we also got to talk to Grandma and Grandpa today.  This evening we watched a Marvel movie and had popcorn pop and ice cream.

The boys woke up early and watched tv.  I made coffee, orange juice and choc milk and we had banana bread.  It was yummy.  We took a trip to town and it sure was busy.  Not much social distancing going on there.  We ordered chicks which should come in about a week.  Daddy and Adam played a couple games of chess.  They each won one.  This afternoon we moved the ram and Han into their new paddock.  The boys helped us move a round bale.  We sheared Han before putting him in. He was the so crazy in the stand.  He was moving and kicking.  We saved about 13 lbs of wool from him.  This evening we watched Jungle 2 Jungle.  Read Little House and the Bible before bed.

The boys watched some tv after I finished my Wii exercises.  Then I read a couple chapters in the Little House book.  We had another crossword race and Adam won.  We did some sudoku and Eli played with legos.  After lunch we took a quick trip to the post office to mail an etsy order.  Then we took a walk in the woods.  The boys worked on school work this afternoon.  Eli's teacher set up a google classroom so he worked on an assignment on there.  His teacher has been off on maternity leave and was supposed to come back this week.  She wanted them to write about what she missed while she was gone.  The boys practice instruments and then we watched a national geographic called Drain Alcatraz.  When Daddy was done with work we went to the barn to feed sheep and lambs.  We weighed another lamb that has diarrhea so we can watch its weight.  The boys played minecraft.  After dinner Adam and Daddy played a couple games of chess.  Daddy won first and Adam won second.  We watched some tv before bed.
