 Eli came to our bedroom during the night saying he didn't feel well and saying he was going to puke. We hurried to the bathroom and he puked in the toilet. Early this morning he woke up with horrible diarrhea and needed a shower. He had some more puking and diarrhea today and didn't eat much. I stayed home with the boys while Daddy went to town for our drinks/donuts. I worked on Jacob's birthday cake this morning. This afternoon Eli wanted to go outside. We let the 10 young chickens out for the first time. The boys played in the apple tree with their chickens. We picked up the brush/trees we'd cleared and hauled a couple trailers full to the burn pile. Adam got stung 5 or 6 times by a wasp. He just complained that his back was itchy. Eli took a nap in the office. Jared and I separated the ewes and lambs for weaning. They've been baaing loudly all evening. One more sleep and Jacob turns 8 year old!!!
