After church we stopped at meijer for a few things. I usually take one of the boys in with me and Jacob came in today. Daddy and the boys took a drive over to the auto shop to look for crashed cars. Jacob really likes to organize the items in the cart so they are perfectly neat. He then scanned items while I bagged. We surprised Daddy and the boys with hershey bars. Adam came in with me to TSC to get a bell for our rams collar. He wanted to lead me to the bells without me telling him where they were. After lunch we went outside to put the bell collar on our ram. Then Jared and I castrated the ram lambs. The boys wanted to play on the sand hill so we went out in the paddock to play. While the boys were playing Jared and I walked around in the paddock. We came back and found the boys playing in a sand puddle. They were having so much fun! Although they said they were warm it was not a warm day - burr. When we came inside Adam and Eli took a warm bath. Jacob did some more drawings. This weekend he spend most of his indoor time drawing, getting ideas from the computer. Yesterday he was drawing submarines and today, mostly tanks. Daddy, Jacob and Adam went to town to get some parts for Jared's car. They also stopped for slurpies and surprised me with a cappuccino. The boys came in the house with smiles and asked me if I wanted to look at the new car part. They set a box on the counter and said I should open it, but not tip it. Inside the box was my cappuccino - haha!  Jacob saved some of his slurpie to give to Eli when he woke up. We went outside to play some soccer. Eli wasn't quite awake yet and acted grouchy at first. Daddy put him on his shoulders while he woke up. Jacob, Adam and I were on a team playing against Daddy and Eli. Adam even brought out a whistle to blow when needed. Jacob would give high fives when we scored or call for a group huddle. We have alot of fun! This evening we watched Hook with our popcorn, pop, and ice cream. Eli is doing really well peeing on the potty and is even starting to go without being reminded.
