One more sleep!  Adam tried to go to sleep when he came home from school but he was too excited.  He helped me make and decorate cupcakes for his class.

Jacob got his black belt (bracelet) in band!  He is one of 6 to get the black belt and the only clarinet player to have it.  So he was pretty excited!  

Adam has been collecting eggs to make money so Jacob wanted a job to do.  He takes care of the lambs in the morning and evenings.  He enjoyed doing this job.  And Eli takes care of the chickens in the evenings.

Eli got scratched by the cat when Norman scared it

We headed to drinks and donuts separately this morning.  Jared took Jacob and I took Adam and Eli.  Adam and Eli both had soccer games that started at 10:00.  Jacob is taking a drawing class at Creative 360 which starts today.  Jared dropped him off there and then met me at Tim Hortons.  He took Adam to his game and I took Eli.  It was windy and cold - burr.  After the games were done I took the boys home and Jared went to pick up Jacob.  Jacob really enjoyed his drawing class.  This afternoon Adam played soccer at 2:30 and Eli had a game at 3:00.  I stayed for Adam's game and Jared took Eli to his game after watching some of Adam's.  Adam was goalie in the first half and did great.  In the second half he scored a goal!  We made it to see the end of Eli's game.  This evening the kids did some things with clay.  Jacob made a vase on the wheel.  And Adam showed Eli how to make a piggy bank.  

Eli made a couple pinch pots and a piggy bank

Went to Mom's house today.  We sat on her deck and drank our coffees.  We were watching the birds and noticed a bluebird is in her birdhouse.  Mom made egg salad sandwich on homemade bread for lunch - yum!  Melissa came over around lunchtime.  We helped Mom pulled weeds and grass around the back of her house.  We had a lot of fun working together.  

This evening Melissa and her family came over.  They brought hot dogs and chips for dinner.  Bruce grilled the hot dogs as Jared was gone with Adam at soccer practice.  The kids had so much fun playing together.

Melissa and Hailey making some pinch pots. 

Jack made a pinch pot too.  Max made a y fighter and a star destroyer and something else star wars.  Jacob showed Max how to piece it together so it doesn't fall apart when it dries.  And Evan made several different things and kept his shark.  

Bruce made a coil pot.

The kids liked seeing the turtle and tadpoles

They love Norman!
