Brought Jacob in bed with us this morning. He wanted to crawl over Daddy to pet Truman. Then he wanted to look out the window. He pointed at the chickens. He handed Daddy a piece of plastic and then asked, "whats that" to the dead bug on the window. He backed off the bed by himself and landed on his feet. Then he went running down the hallway. He can run pretty fast now. After he ate his cerele we went out for donuts/muffin and coffee and OJ. Jacob had his a glazed donut hole. The manager came over to talk to him but he just smiled. Then we went walked around Salvation army. Some elderly lady came over and was complaining to Jared about their high prices. She told him, "I'd use that couch for firewood". No good finds there today. While Jacob was taking his am nap we went outside to work on putting away the extra wood from the fort and I pulled weeds too. As I was pulling weeds by the barn I was stung on the hand by a hornet. It sure did hurt! I was done after that for now. I went over to help Jared take apart the roof of the fort. I took out a bunch of screws. Then we started cutting boards to make steps. Jacob woke up and we went inside for lunch. After lunch we went back outside to build the steps. Jacob played on his little car. Then he ran over to the fence by the goats. He turned back at us, smiled, and came running back. It started to rain. Jacob held his hands up and looked up smiling. Then it started to thunder and rained even harder so we went inside. We got dried off and I made some coffee. We headed into town. Stopped at TSC and got a separate electric fence box for the goat paddock. Jacob wanted to play with the little toy tractors. I let him carry one around for awhile. It was a little Ford tractor. When we tried to pay with our bank card neither one of our cards would work. We went to the ATM and got some money out and went back. Then we went to Lowe's to get chains to hang the swings. I got Jacob out of the cart at the register and he kept trying to grab my nose. I'd shake my head and he'd laugh. When we got home we tried to hand one swing but the bolts weren't long enough. We will have to exchange them tomorrow for something else. We went inside to have dinner and I was going to make a cake for my Dad and Rody. We are celebrating their birthday's tomorrow. I thought I had a cake mix in the cuboard but it was a brownie mix so Jared had to go to meijer for another cake mix while I made one of them. I gave Jacob a bath while the cake was baking. Then I dressed him in his superman pj's. He heard Daddy coming up the drive and he went running towards the door saying DaDa. Daddy layed on the bed and he flew on his feet like superman. Then I said lay on the bed by Daddy and he lay down next to him. I told him to put his hands up and he raised them up but put them behind his head. He dove head first onto the dog bed. Daddy licked the bowl for the cake and Jacob saw him and wanted some. I got him yogurt instead and he liked that. He sat on the floor in the kitchen next to me. Daddy left the room and he got up and ran after him saying, "DaDa". When Daddy came back he came back over for more yogurt and sat by Mommy. I read him a book and the Bible before bed. He got to talk to Aunt Vikki on the phone. He dove into his crib and lay down. He only had one long nap today so he was pretty tired. He sat up to fold his hands and pray with me. I put frosting on Dad's cake and then waited for Rody's to cool. I will frosting it tomorrow.
