After feeding the outside animals, Jacob wanted to feed and water the dogs. He scooped some food out and said, "Date's dish, TruTru's dish, little bit please Mama". He put a little bit of food in each of their dishes. Mom called this morning and asked if they could come pick up their trailer. I told Jacob they were coming over and he put his arms in the air saying, "yeh". He was playing in his bedroom when the dogs started barking like they do when someone drive by or in the driveway. He came running out of the bedroom saying, "Nana here, Papa home". I told him they were not here yet and he walked back to his bedroom saying, "Awwhhh". Dad played with Adam, while Mom and I took Jacob outside. Mom had brought a huge back of apples for the horses. First we took some over to Nutmeg - Jacob and I threw some in for her. Then we went over to Sammy's stall where he was waiting. We put some in his dish and it was a slobbery mess when he was done. Jacob kept wanting to give him more. We also took some to the goats/sheep. The goats were loose so Jacob helped me chase them back in. Mom and I went back in to give Sammy some more attention. Jacob played on the tractor. Jacob climbed the apple tree and even tried to shake down some apples like he had seen us do the other day. This evening Jared put a new starter on the tractor because the old one was smoking. Jacob played with his truck in the barn. Yesterday, Jacob was sitting on the tractor and I noticed he was holding something in his hand. He proudly said, "look Mama" - it was a nice, round piece of goat poop. I told him what it was and right away he threw it down. After dinner we went to the mall to walk around. Jacob played in their play area. He saw a boy jumping from the pile of grapes over to some grapes a couple feet away. He said, "I try it". He tried it but only was able to land right next to the grapes he had jumped off of and ran over to the other grapes. Excitedly he ran back and said, "Again". He also thought it was fun to climb up to the top of the grapes and slide down head first. Then he ran over and belly slamed the strawberries and jumped up onto the big toothbrush landing on his knees. When I told him it was time to leave he said, "Play another minute please Mama, beep up". After the kids were in bed, a guy from Jareds work came over to help him work on the tractor. He had some things Jared though might help fix it. They figured out the problem and got it running. Now we will be able to try our new/old brush hog.
