"Look Mommy, I made a airplane".

This morning Jared left for work but came back and stayed until 8:30. He wanted to take the car keys to the auto shop and talk to the mechanic. Jacob was excited to see all his new toys on the couch and wanted Daddy to put up his Cars playhut. He played in that and played with his new matchbox vehicles. Then he got his fishing pole and said, “I got me own fishing pole”. He used the tackle box to hold a couple of his cars. He took his remote truck for a drive up and down the hallway. Next he carried his unopened cash register over to me saying, “I can carry dis, I am strong, I wanna open dis, please Mommy open dis”. He held a pretend $10 in each hand and said, “which one you want, dis one, dis one” while showing me each one. He gave me the bill and some coins and said, “I got you fifty dollars”. The he said, “let me go get me semi truck and I pay it”. He played some more with his fishing pole and tried to cast it into his tent. Then he cast it across the room and hit the tv. I decided casting was better done outside. He still enjoyed walking around with it and watching the fish drop to the floor when he pushed the button. Then Jacob took some pictures with his new camera. Adam woke up around 9:45am. He was really excited to see the Cars playhut and crawled in and out of it many times. He also liked playing with the remote dump truck but instead of pushing the lever he wanted to pull it around. I didn’t want the wires to get broke so I put it up and we went inside the playhut together. Jacob wanted to come in with us and brought his matchbox cars. He didn't want Adam to play with his new cars so he ran to get Adam his matchbox cars. While Adam was eating his late breakfast I dumped the $7 in change from Vikki, Rody and Kenzie onto the counter. I got out his bank and he had fun putting the coins in it. He stacked the coins on his semi truck and pushed it around saying, "dis my money truck". I had Jacob push the answering machine button and he was excited to hear Grandma singing Happy Birthday to him. He sat on the couch with a smile and pushed the button to listen again. After lunch Jacob played a game on the computer. Adam played with his ball popper. He loves to give Truman hugs. Around 4:30pm Jacob and I went outside. It was a cool, sunny day. Jacob wanted to take out his fishing pole and his camera. Daddy came home and picked up the branched from the tree he had trimmed the other day. I hoed the garden. Daddy found a snake and brought it over to show us. Jacob liked touching it but didn't want to help hold it. He took a picture of it before Daddy let it go and we watched it slither away into the woods. Jacob rode his tractor around the yard with his camera in his lap and would stop to take a picture. Adam took a long nap and woke up around 6pm. I think he was tired from a busy, off schedule day yesterday. He really likes to steps and the deck by Jacob's sand. At 6:30 we went in for dinner. Around 7:30 we went to town. Jacob fell asleep almost a soon as we were on the road. Adam was really happy and talking alot. When I'd look back he'd cover his eyes and want to play peek-a-boo. He'd move his head and want Daddy to move his head the same way. Then he was moving his arms like an orchestra leader. We got home a little after 9pm. We pulled Jacob pictures up on the computer and all sat at the computer to look at them together. There's lots of fun things that can be done with the pictures he takes. Jacob was so tired at bedtime that he didn't even want to read. We did talk about his day which many times, like tonight, starts out by him saying, "no me go at playground day (today)". Tomorrow is chicken butchering day. We have to be there at 8am and pick them up around 3 or 4pm. Jared's really looking forward to it. I feel bad for the chickens.
