King Jacob and Queen Hailey. They walked around the house singing loudly, "Here comes Hailey riding on a donkey."

The boys meeting their new cousin

During breakfast this morning Jared came over to me to give me a hug/kiss. Jacob leaned over to Hailey and said "They're in love." Hailey giggled and Jacob said, "Its not funny."

Jared took the day off work today to stay home with the boys. Jacob rode the bus to school this morning. I went grocery shopping and then headed to Mom's house. We soon left go to garage sales. This weekend is the annual Walleye festival and there are lots of garage sales. Mom and I shopped from about 9 til 5pm, stopping only to eat a packed lunch (thanks Mom). We walked over 11 miles and found many great deals. We've went shopping at these sales for the past 6 years and always have a great time. The weather was beautiful today too. I was telling Jared how much fun we had as I showed him my stuff when Jacob said, "But not as much fun as playing with your kids, right?"

Eli loves his oatmeal in the mornings. I had to tighten the buckle on his table chair again. He squirms out and looks at me with a funny expression on his face as he’s stands there in the chair which is attatched to our counter. We watched Busytown mysteries. During the show they had a whistling teapot and Adam asked if we could make hot chocolate using our teapot. He waited patiently for it to whistle. Eli is still not walking much. He will take a few steps to something close by. I got out the peapod travel bed for Eli to nap in. First Eli and Adam had fun playing in it. They were making silly faces by the screen. After tucking Eli in bed Adam and I played with Lincoln logs. Then Adam played at the counter with moon dough and then moon sand while I exercised. Eli woke up just after lunch. We played more with the Lincoln logs. Then we cuddled on the couch and I read some books to the boys. Adam and I played I spy a color. While in the car waiting for Jacob Adam and I played heads or tails with a quarter. He thought that was so fun. Nana and Papa came over to visit. The boys watched Busytown Mysteries. Eli napped until dinnertime. Jacob’s coach called to say practice was canceled because of standing water in the field.  Jacob asked if there were any dams around our area so we decided to head over to a nearby one after dinner. When we got back in the car, after seeing the flooding and dam, Jacob said, “That was awesome!” It was bedtime when we got home.
