Jared's sore thumbs. They bruised up quickly.

I woke the boys up at 7:45. I got them dressed and then we watched Curious George while eating breakfast. Soon after 8:30 we headed to church. It had snowed and was still snowing. When cars passed by it was whiteout conditions. We had a great time playing with the kids. Mugumi brought juice boxes for everyone during snacktime so the kids were all excited about that. Vikki surprised us and met us at Salvation Army. The boys (and me too) were very excited to see her. They ate their packed lunches. Then we headed over to Goodwill. I bought a 100 pc Lincoln log fort set for $2.50. And we also got the gas station that goes on their Little People car wash for just a quarter. We walked thru the pet store per Adam’s request. Then I had to go to the store to get mousetraps. (Jared saw a mouse by the corn burner this morning.) Today every time I opened the van door on Adam’s side he covered his face, with his hands or his blanket, to hide on me. I could only see his big smile as I said, “Where’s Adam?” We got home around 3pm. Jacob fell asleep in the car and continued sleeping on the couch. I lay Adam down for a nap. He talked for a while, but finally fell asleep. Jared got home around 5pm. Jared and I built a fort with the Lincoln logs. Jacob soon was awake and came down by us to see what we were doing. He ran to get a car to park inside. Adam woke up around 5:45. He had fun playing with the Lincoln logs and Little people car wash. I built some little house that they pretended were chicken coops. Jared worked on setting the mousetraps. One of them broke and he tried to fix it. He was trying to get a staple out of his hammer stapler and ended up stapling both of his thumbs – OUCH! The boy liked watching Daddy try to fix the broken mouse trap and then put peanut butter on the trap. After dinner Jacob played at the counter with some people and some origami things. Adam played with the little people things. Jared went outside to take care of the animals and shoot the opossum. Jacob and Adam made a train across the living room and pretended to drive it. Jared called game crazy to see if they’ve gotten the Wee fit in. It's very hard to find and they had just gotten one in. He left to get that and also bought the Wii. The boys played in the tub until pj time. They were tucked in bed by 9pm. Jared and I watched Lost and also set up the Wii. After Lost was over we had fun playing Wii sports. We went bowling, played tennis, baseball, boxing, and golfing. Then Jared tried out the Wii fit. We got to bed around 1am.
