Fun in the big tree. Jacob said, "Wow! This trees great for climbing."

I finished my exercises just before the boys woke up around 8:15. They were both excited to see that our fish had babies. Jacob told Adam, “Our fish laid her babies Adam!” They watched them for a while. We had pancakes for breakfast. As Adam climbed onto his chair he said, “Eat pancakes, Eat pancakes!” After breakfast we watched Baby Einstein numbers nursery. The boys (Jacob first) like to shout out how many numbers of the items appeared on tv before it is told on the video. Then they had a great time pushing their tractors up and down our hallway really fast. They typed on the computer for a little while. Both boys have colds. Jacob coughed into his sleeve and said, “Mommy I coughed on my arm so I don’t get germs.” Around 11:00 we went outside. Today was sunny, windy, and in the high 50’s. As we walked out the door Adam said, “Nice day Mommy.” The boys had fun riding around on their tractors pulling their carts. They picked flowers, mostly dandelions. Jacob fell into a puddle soon after we came out. Adam liked to drive the front tire of his tractor into the puddle and say, “Tuck (stuck) Mommy.” We took a walk around the house. The boys liked climbing the big tree in front of our house. I picked weeds out of the flowerbeds. Adam pointed at a robin on the swing set and said, "Robin Mommy, robin." Jacob suggested that we buy a net from Salvation Army so we could catch it. We went back inside for lunch. Lately Jacob will hold up his fists and say, “I don’t get noffin, NONE!” Usually when he wants a snack and its not snacktime or something like that. During lunch today Jacob was teasing Adam and Adam held up his fist saying, “NOFFIN!” The boys took turns using my body pillow as their bed. When it was Jacob’s turn both boys ran for it. Jacob banged his nose on Adam head. He cried and Adam ran too get his blanket. The boys played with tools. Adam wore the hardhat and tool belt while he hammered all the screws on his slide. The boys played with water and cups in the bathroom sink while I folded laundry in there. Jacob folded and put away all my dishtowels. As they ate their snack I read many stories from the bible. I tucked Adam in for a nap at 2:30. Jacob rested while playing with his trains and coins. He likes using his quilt from Grandma as his train tracks. Jared got home around 4pm. Jacob had fun putting together the puzzles from Uncle Dee with some help from us. We went outside to take care of the animals. Jacob played with moon sand until dinner was ready. After dinner Daddy and the boys went down in the crawlspace to get some clothes bags so I could pack some things away. Adam looked up at me to say, “Pipes back dere Mommy” as he pointed in the other direction. Jacob covered the opening to the crawlspace with my big pillow so he could open and close it as he climbed up or down. Then we went outside. The boys played with their tractors. We sat and enjoyed watching them play for a while. Then Jared went up on the barn roof to work on caulking it. We had fun playing in the fort. The boys liked filling up pop bottles with rainwater and then dumping them from up high in the fort. Jacob would fill up Adam's bottle for him. Adam fell from the second level ladder and landed his leg on the pop bottle top. It left a bad sore on his leg. We went inside at 8pm for a snack. The boys tipped the kitchen chairs on their sides and made a little house under the table. They ate their snack while sitting in their house. The boys were tucked in bed shortly after 9pm.
