Kenzie is helping Jacob get Papa's hat.




Jacob woke up shortly before 8am. He came in my bed for a little while. He looked at me and said, “mommy, I gonna give you a monster kiss”. We sat on the couch and watched Clifford. Then we read the digger books many times. Adam woke up at 9:30. He likes to “blow” the lights out as soon as I turn it on. After I change his diaper he gets really excited to throw it in the garbage for me. We called Papa to tell him Happy Birthday. Jacob played with his moon sand. I got out the small blow up pool and let Adam sit in it with some moon sand. He liked filling up and then dumping the container. Adam wanted me to read to him so we sat on the couch with some books. Jacob soon joined us. Adam pulled out the tunnel for me to open up. The boys pushed their dump trucks up and down the hallway and into the kitchen. At lunchtime Jacob poured the cheese in for mac-n-cheese but some of it spilled on my pants and the floor. I went to get a towel and then turned to find Jacob licking the cheese off the floor. He said, “I’m just trying to clean that up”. As I was pouring the mac-n-cheese in their bowls Jacob said to me, “Mommy I’m doing the potty dance, I gotta go pee”. After lunch we went in Adam's bedroom and got out the puzzles. We sat on the floor and played with them for a while. Then we went outside until naptime. First we collected 9 eggs from the coop. Jacob played in his sand. Adam found a long, thin board that he enjoyed carrying around. He took it up onto the deck with him but needed help getting back down the steps with it. He wasn't going to let go of that stuck board. Jacob rode in the driveway on the tricycle and I pushed Adam in the truck. Jacob climbed into the back of the truck so I could push them both around. He’d said, “ok, were at our camping site, lets get out”. We filled up the back of the truck with apples and took them over to the horses. Went back inside at 2:30. Adam took a nap until 5pm. Jacob watched his bulldozer video and then asked to play with his moon sand. He requested to play with the blue sand instead of the gray. When Adam woke up Jacob was still playing with the sand. I was changing Adam when Jacob decided to put a bunch of moon sand into his dump truck and take it to our bedroom. He dumped it onto the carpet. and then drove over it to pack it down. Luckily the stuff vacuums up really easy and doesn’t stain – love that stuff. Jared came home from work around 5:30. We ate dinner and then headed to the campground to celebrate my Dad’s 60th birthday with cake and ice cream. Jacob fell asleep on the drive there. Jared and Kenzie went to play a game of golf. Grandpa told me, “you can’t beat that Kenzie with a stick”. He and my Mom have yet to beat her in a game of tonk or golf. We took a walk around the campground with Nana and Papa. It was dark when we got back to the campsite. We left around 10:30. Both boys were sleeping by the time we got home. As we got near our driveway we noticed an awful skunk smell. It was much worse when we stepped out of our car.
