Jared and I woke up during the night and we both though it was time to get up.  It was only 2am!  Our throats were really hurting.  I got up and took some medicine because my sore throat was keeping me awake.  I finally went back to sleep after about an hour.  Jared went to ready med this morning to see if we have strep throat but the dr says its viral.  Jacob, Adam and I played a game of 3-13.  When Eli woke up we watched Nova.  Jared came home with Saturday drinks and goodies.  Adam, Eli, and my bagels which were supposed to be plain toasted with butter all had cream cheese on them.  Jacob and I played another game of 3-13.  This afternoon Jared and I finished getting the barn ready for lambing.  We also shaved all the ewe's back ends and around their utters.  We vaccinated and wormed the suffolk ewes and also Francis and Han.  We also got the creap feed area ready for lambs and opened the barn to the ewes.  We got a humidifier today and the boys are fascinated with it.  Jacob and I played a game of 3-13 and he won.  My score was 93 and his was -105.  He went out every time but once. He saved this score sheet to hang on the wall by his bed.  This evening Eli cuddled on my lap and we watched Nova.

Jacob is the only one not sick.  We all have very sore throats.  Adam and I went to the store for groceries and also stopped at TSC to exchange his muck boots for a bigger size.  At home we watched When Calls the heart.  Daddy and the boys played a game of cards and I rested.  This evening we went to the theater to watch the new Star Wars movie which we all enjoyed.  

Merry Christmas

Jared and I didn't sleep very good last night.  Jared's ears were bothering him and my throat was super sore.  Jared went out to the van during the night to get me some tylenol so I could alternate between that and ibuprofen.  Adam came into our bedroom around 3am and was wide awake for a couple hours.  We got up around 6:30 and Adam and Eli woke up with us.  Their colds were bothering them so I gave them some ibuprofen.  Jared got some banana bread baking in the oven.  Eli worked on building his minecraft lego set.  After a little while Adam went in the bedroom and woke up Jacob.  The boys started by opening their stockings which had a matchbox car, gel pens, duck tape, a couple decks of cards and a card holder, a notebook, glue, glow sticks, m&m's and gum.  Before Eli opened his gum he said, "This is definitely going to be gum because I can smell it."   Then we took turns opening gifts. The boys all got legos, nerf guns, nerf rival refill darts, and muck boots. Jacob got a plasma lamp and Adam and Eli got army men.  Daddy got some legos, a nerf gun, some t-shirts, a headlamp, and a glaze mixer blade.  I got a new case for my clippers (a tool box which Jared decorated),  socks, a coffee grinder, and a travel mug.  The next several hours were spent putting lego sets together, shooting nerf guns, and playing 3-13.  Daddy helped Eli find pieces as he put together his big lego set. Jacob kept saying thank you and telling us how much he loved his gifts. We ate around 1:00 and then the boys played on the computer.  Daddy had to go to Darren's house to take care of his cats.  Nana and Papa came over for a couple hours this afternoon.  We visited and then played 3-13.  Papa and Jacob played a game and Nana, Adam and I played.  Daddy helped Eli continue working on his ninjago set. Papa tried Jacob's big nerf gun and liked it.  As Nana and Papa were leaving we found the lamps put at the end of our driveway haha.  Eli finished putting his set together and then we had popcorn and watched When Calls the Heart.  This evening we had a super fun nerf gun battle.  Some of our battles were in the dark and some with lights on.  If we got hit we had to yell “hit” out loud.  The boys got in bed around 10:00 and kept saying that nerf battle was so much fun!
