Adam and Eli were up early and watched Clone wars.  Daddy and Adam went to town for Sat goodies.  Eli’s soccer game was at 11:30 and Adam’s was at 12:00.  We got there around 11:00.  It was chilly so we brought blankets.  Jared watched the first half of Eli’s game and then went to watch Adam play.  Their fields were next to each other this time which was nice.  I got to watch the second half of Adam’s game.  We stopped at Kohl’s to get some clothes and look at shoes for Jacob.  On our way home we stopped at Lavender fleece's open house.  This farm breeds Icelandic, Teeswater, and Leicester longwool sheep.  They also do spinning, weaving, pottery.  We had fun walking around the farm, looking at the pottery studio and walking through the shop.  We visited with the owners and they want to get together sometime.  At home we worked in the rams paddock making sure nothing was touching the electric fence, emptying the hay feeder and cleaning the water trough.  We found the rams bell and broken collar so Jacob helped me make a new leather strap for it.  We moved Oscar and Han back into the ram paddock.  Adam and Eli were excited to play in the sand in the ewe’s paddock.  We then caught the lambs and sheared their back ends so they were clean.  When we came in it was dinner time.  We watched the Munsters while eating.  This evening Jared, Jacob, and I played 3-13 and I won.  I was in the negatives the whole game!
