Jacob's sheep finally did better at bracing for him today.  I pretended to be judge so the boys could work on keeping an eye on the judge while they control their sheep.  They did great.  Around noon we headed to the rail trail.  Jacob and Adam rode bikes and Eli rode his rollerblades.  Eli stayed with me and took turns walking Wyatt.  It was a nice cool day today.  From there we went to the pet store to get Wyatt a new collar and leash.  The boys enjoyed walking around the store.  Eli really wanted a chameleon or a gecko.  Adam asked if we could go to the library.  Since the flood they are only open a couple days a week with a limited supply of books.  Adam found an Alex Rider book to read.  We stopped at Barnes and Noble because Eli wanted to buy some Wings of Fire books. They were on sale.  At home the boys worked with their sheep again.  Then Jacob kicked around the soccer ball.  Adam and Eli read their books.  Jacob and I played a game of 3-13 and Jacob won.  It was a really close game.  Jared and I played when he got home and he won.  It was another really close game.  After dinner we went outside and took down the garden fence.  Jared taught me how to rototill the garden.  He can't because of his back.  I tilled the rows and then hoed around the plants.  Jacob and Adam played soccer.  Eli brought the kitty outside to play.
