Wyatt always makes me laugh at the way he sits when I'm driving.

Nana came over for a visit today!!

Thank you Nana for the yummy caramel apples!!  

Playing minecraft,  Daddy's tired after a long day at work.  

I trimmed mugs and put on handles.  Nana came over today for a visit.  Wyatt was so happy to see her and so was I!!  She brought us some yummy treats!  We had a nice visit out on the deck.  Before she had to leave we took a walk in the woods.  Eli had soccer practice this evening.  We were kicking the ball around with the other boys when a car alarm when off.  I couldn't tell if it was our van so I pushed the panic button to see.  Well our alarm then started going off too and then someone else's.  I kept pushing the panic button trying to get it to turn off but it wouldn't.  I walked closer trying.  Some people started clapping.  It was embarrassing.  Finally I gave it to Jared and he got it to turn off.  Eli said he told his whole team it was our van.  At home we played another game of soccer in the dark.  This time the score was 3-1.

Soccer game in the dark

 

I pulled handles and trimmed mugs this morning.  Then I threw some small mugs.  I cleaned up and then put handles on the mugs I'd made yesterday.  Adam messaged Nik's mom and talked to her about Nik joining them on their minecraft server.  The three boys and Nik spent a long time playing minecraft together.  They had so much fun and loved chatting with Nik.  We picked beets from the garden and roasted some in the oven.  Jared and I both were not a fan of the beets. We agreed that they tasted like salted dirt.  Haha.  Jared had a park board meeting this evening.  It was dark when he got home but we all wanted to play soccer.  Jared parked the vehicles so they lit up our field.  Jacob and Adam won     14-3.  Back inside we read with the boys and tucked them in bed.

Today I made small mugs.  Took a walk in the woods with Wyatt after lunch.  This evening Adam had soccer practice from 5:30 to 7pm.  Came home and grilled hamburgers for a late dinner.

Got this little indoor greenhouse from Darren too.

After church we went outside and played a game of soccer with the boys.  Jacob and Adam won.  The score was 12-8.  Jared and I went grocery shopping and picked up pizza for lunch.  After lunch the boys played minecraft.  Jared and I cleaned the workshop.  We burned a bunch of scrap wood.  Jared mowed the lawn.  Adam blew leaves off our soccer field. Eli came out and swept the workshop floor and shook  the big heavy rug in there.  He wanted to surprise us.  There was a lot of sawdust on the floor and now it looks so nice.  It was a nice cool day.  We took a walk in the woods. Then we played another game of soccer and this time ended in a tie.  We had popcorn pop and ice cream and watched Ice Age Collision course.  Read with the boys before tucking them in bed.

Getting our minecraft tour

Adam's game started at 10:00 and we needed to be there between 9:20 and 9:30.  We stopped for our Sat goodies and headed to the soccer complex.  Adam's team had one sub for the whole game.  They played hard and won.  After Adam's game we went to Eli's which started at noon.  We brought soft pretzels for a snack which we're yummy. Eli's team also played hard but they lost.  After the game we went to Dunhams because Adam needed a new ball.  This afternoon Jared went to Darren's to get the tools we bought from him.  We are also going to be buying his garden lawn mower.  The boys played minecraft and gave us our weekly tour.  Then they went outside to play some soccer until dinner was ready.

Jacob trying to get taller than Adam

Shelf is full.  The other shelves are full of bisque pottery.  New elements are ordered - yay!

Today I did a bunch of trimming on the wheel.  Later I scrubbed the pottery room.  I also took towels, aprons, tools, and buckets outside to hose off.  Jared and I had chili for lunch.  When I got home from school I looked for Jared but he was gone.  I was going out to the barn to see if the car was in there.  Then I noticed he tried to call and messaged me that he was at Darren's house.  Darren is moving and selling some tools.  Jared went to look at what he is selling.  I took a walk in the woods with Wyatt and I noticed some dark cloud coming.  It hailed for a couple minutes and then it rained.   Eli and Adam had soccer practice this evening.  I took Eli to his at the soccer complex.  Adam’s was at a park.  It sprinkled off and on during practice.  We warmed up chil for dinner when we got home.  The boys watched some tv before bed.
