I got up at 6am to exercise. This morning there were 3 mallard ducks in our pond. Jacob got up around 8am. He ran down the hallway, excited to wake up Daddy. Adam woke up soon after that. Jacob wanted to type on the computer so I opened up a window. After typing he pointed and said, “You see this, that says I love you.” Then he pointed again saying, “And that says Daddy loves Mommy.” After breakfast we headed to town for drinks and donuts. We also went to Goodwill, the pet store, and TSC. We got home around 11:30. Jared went back to TSC with the car and trailer to buy a role of fence. After lunch Jacob got out the wooden blocks saying, “I got those out cause I think Adam would like it.” It was another warm day (sunny and low 80 degrees). Jared came home and we all went outside. We replaced the rope on the child swing and hung it in place of the baby swing. Jacob loved playing on that. Jared then worked on tilling the garden while the boys played. I cleaned the inside of the Vibe. Then I went up in the fort with the boys. Jared went to a co-workers house because his friend is interested in buying the Vibe. We came back inside around 2:30 for a snack. I lay Adam down for a nap and Jacob rested. I did a 30-min run. When Jacob was done resting he got out his car mat and cars to play with. I folded and put away the laundry with Jacob's help. He folded all the towels and washcloths. Adam got up at 4:30 (I don't think he ever did go to sleep). I made a tent in his crib using a couple blankets. The boys had fun playing in there. Jared came home at 5:00. We went back outside. Jared worked on caulking the barn roof because there is some areas where it is leaking. Adam helped Daddy carry the ladder. Jacob sat in the fort and drew on some notecards. He then put them in my mailbox (a crack between the wood). Adam and I took care of the animals. The boys had fun pushing around their snow shovels in the driveway. Adam liked showing me rocks he’d find. He also liked putting rocks and dirt into a pop bottle. The boys picked some flowers for me. As Jacob handed me them he said, “That’s for being married, so you can love and be with us.” Jared got some more of the garden tilled. Jacob found some worms. We went inside for dinner. At 7:30 we went back outside to work on clearing the trees and brush. It was cool and breezy by that time. Jared commented that the weather felt like we were on Brockway Mt - I agreed. While Jared and I made a large brush pile the boys had a great time playing. They sure entertain themselves well, especially outside. We went inside at 8:45. The boys were tucked in bed by 9:30.
