Playing with Wyatt

After church we played a game of soccer with the boys.  Adam and Jacob won 14-7.  We went to town to get groceries and pizza for lunch.  As I was checking out I dropped a spaghetti jar and it broke.  What a mess.  It was embarrassing.  I apologized and the cashier was so nice.  She found someone to go get me another jar.  After lunch the boys played minecraft with Nik.  We played some more soccer with the boys.  We played several short games, switching teams.  Jacob and Adam had fun getting to play goalie.  This evening we had popcorn pop and ice cream and watched Duck Dynasty and Full House. Jacob came in 2nd place in his age group for yesterday's race.  He ran it in 25 min 37 seconds.  He won 14th place overall out of 124.

Trick or Trot - heading off to the starting gate

This is a 5K race

Playing minecraft.  They are putting together a huge minecraft surprise for Eli.

We went out for our Saturday goodies.  Wyatt was happy because he got two timbits at Tim Horton's.  He gets so excited when we pull into the drive thru.  As soon as we got home we had to leave to take Jacob to school for the trick or trot race.  The race was a staggered race and started at 10:00.  Jacob was finished around 10:30.  He ate a banana and drank some water.  We stayed for awhile but then had to leave to get to Eli's soccer game.  Jacob and Adam sat in the van and read.  Eli's team played really hard.  They lost 5-1.  When we got back to the van Jacob looked pale and said he was feeling sick.  He was nauseous and had a bad headache.  At home we gave him some ibuprofen.  He took a long nap on the couch.  Adam had a 4:00 soccer game.  Jacob and Eli stayed home.  Adam played center defense for the first half of the game.  When the team has a good lead in the score the couch will let them play other positions.  Adam played center offense for a little while and had two really good shots on goal.  He played midfield briefly and then was put back on defense.  They scored just as he was being switched.  A small kid ran hard into Adam but Adam didn't budge.  The kid flew back to the ground.  We heard the other coach ask that kid what it felt like running into a brick wall.  Then the coach told him to watch out for the high school senior (talking about Adam).  Adam thought that was funny.  Adam's team won 8-1. We stopped at McDonalds to get Adam a McFlurry.  Jacob was feeling better when we got home.  He said Wyatt laid on him almost the whole time we were gone.  After dinner the boys played minecraft with Nik.  Then they gave us our minecraft tour.  Eli was really sad that he had died and lost all the items he was carrying.  While he was giving us his tour Jacob and Adam worked on a huge minecraft surprise for Eli.  They made a cool tree and around it were several shulker boxes.  Eli opened each one and they were fill with tons of awesome minecraft items.  He was so so happy.

Facetiming with family

The boys were off school today and were up early to watch tv.  I took Jared to work.  It was a rainy day today.  I spent a lot of the day taking pottery photos to post on etsy.  The boys were a big help and measured all the pottery pieces.  Jared had our car towed to the auto shop.   They will be looking at it on Monday.  We got all the way back home and Jared realized he had forgot to leave the car keys at the auto shop.  We had to take Jacob to school for the football game and then headed back to the shop.

Isaac making scrambled eggs

Cutting up green peppers

Isaac made an I and a P from the peppers.  

Going to collect eggs

Opened the kiln today!

It was rainy this morning. After getting home from school Peyton and Isaac took turns reading with me .  We had fun reading the book, You Read to Me, I'll Read to You.  We practiced spelling words many times today.  The kids helped me cut up a bunch of green peppers from our garden.  We cut them up for Vikki's freezer.  The kids had a lot of fun playing on the big round bales in the barn.  This afternoon they played with playdoh and also played minecraft.  I unloaded the kiln and sent Jared some pictures. He was having a rough day.  His car wouldn't start and its not the battery.  He also forgot his lunch so only had a couple old apples to eat.  He had to hitch a ride to another site.  Vikki got here just before we had to leave to get the boys.  She rode with us to pick them up from school.  We had a nice visit until it was time to head to Adam's soccer practice.  Jared met us at the park.  He walked there from work which is close to the park. After practice we stopped at the store and the boys picked out some candy. Jacob picked out sweet tarts.  He bit down on one and chipped a back tooth.

Jared and I loaded the kiln this morning.  While we were loading the top shelf Jared dropped a small stilt right through the middle of the half shelves.  It fell down to the third shelf.  We couldn't see it and weren't sure if it had landed on a glazed piece.  So we laughed and started unloading.  I had to leave to take the boys to school so Jared finished loading the top shelf.  At home I cleaned the house and gave Wyatt a bath.  Around 10:00 I headed to Vikki's house.  I stopped at my parents on the way to water their plants.  Vikki made some coffee and we had a nice visit.  She made chicken alfredo for lunch.  It was so good.   Got to talk on the phone to Kenzie and Travis.  Vikki had some school work to do with the kids.  We left around 2:00.  Peyton and Isaac are spending the night with us tonight.  We stopped at McDonalds for McFlurries on the way to school. Jared came home from work a little early and we took a walk in the woods.  We played a game of soccer.  Peyton was on our team and Isaac played with Jacob and Adam.  We lost 6-0.  Daddy took Eli to soccer practice. When they got home the boys played minecraft.  They were hoping Nik could join but he had homework.  We played 3-13 with Peyton and Isaac.  Jared won and I came in last place.  Isaac was winning until the last round.
