Jacob woke his brothers early this morning so they could watch tv. Jared went to town to get our Sat goodies. The boys worked with their sheep and then we spent the next couple hours giving them a good scrubbing. The boys helped get the trailer set up with the panels and got together feed pans, buckets, broom, pitchfork, grain, hay, and the wheel barrow. Then they worked on cleaning their sheep stall, which was a big job. We took down the temporary fencing that was used for them. The smell makes Adam really nauseous so while Jacob and Eli cleaned the stall he hauled their wheelbarrow loads to the compost bin. After they finished that stall Jacob went inside to take a shower. Adam (wearing Jared's respirator) and Eli cleaned the bigger stall. We loaded the sheep in the trailer and took them to the fair. We went home and Jared and the boys hauled the trash from the barn down to the dumpster. We put things away and parked the trailer in the barn. Then we went inside to relax. The boys played minecraft. Jared and I played 3-13 and Jared won. After dinner we went to town to get some more pine shavings from TSC. We also went to Home Depot to pick up a hydrangeas plant. We went back to the fairgrounds to check on the sheep and drop off the extra shavings. They boys took the sheep into the arena to work with them and get them used to the new surroundings.

Busy at the farm! Such great pictures! Glad Adam had the respirator while he worked! I'm sure it was a huge help in keeping him feeling well. Such hard workers, but there's always time for fun too. Great family!
Those are some fine looking sheep and some fine looking boys!
