Coming to give Mommy a wet hug.

Here they just spotted the semi coming down our road.

Jacob woke up shortly after I’d finished exercising this morning. Around 8:30 a lady came over to pick up some eggs. Jacob excitedly told her that he was four years old and showed her his new forklift. Adam woke up from the dog’s barking. Just before Adam went to sit down at their little table for breakfast he started puking. He still ate some of his breakfast. We watched the tractor video. Then Jacob showed Adam how to draw shapes on the dry erase board. They also drew giant ants. Adam drew on his shirt and as he showed Jacob he said, “I draw on dis shirt.” Around 10:00 we went outside. While the boy played, I hoed the garden. Then I got out the boys little pool and started filling it with water. I was hoping it would warm up in the sun and maybe they could swim if the weather was nice this weekend. They were really excited and asked if they could go it. They sure had fun! Jacob thought it was funny to give me wet hugs. Adam really enjoyed spraying the hose. He sprayed Jacob’s shorts and when they water dripped off of him he laughed and said, “You peed!” They both thought that was funny. They played in the pool until almost noon. I wrapped them in their towels and put them in the wagon. We took a walk down our road. Our neighbor came down the road in his semi which was pulling a camper. He waved and honked his horn at the waving boys. They were really excited about that. Jacob asked if we could have a picnic lunch on the deck. So I made sandwiches and we ate outside. Jacob said, “Its a nice day. I love this weather.” This afternoon the boys had fun with playdoh at the counter. Jacob likes to make bird nests with birds and eggs in them. He also made cakes for me. Adam said he was making pizza. We played music and the boys had fun with their instruments. At snack time they ate while I read them some books. Adam looked out the window and said, “Robin! I see robin out dere!” I lay him down for a nap around 2:30. Jacob rested while coloring with markers. He also played with automoblox and foam blocks. Jacob was excited to show me that he can now hop on one foot. He also showed me how he can get onto our bed by just putting his knee up. Usually they step up by using the frame. We went outside around 4pm. Jacob asked to play in the pool, which was now full of water. He had a great time playing in there. Jared got home around 5pm. He’d stopped and picked up a few more plants for our garden. We planted some flower plants and then took care of the animals. Adam woke up shortly after we came inside. After dinner we went to the mall. The boys played on the train table at Barnes and Noble. Then we took them to play at the malls playhouse. The boys had fun jumping from things in there. Adam liked jumping off the grape and the strawberry. Jacob jumped from the higher things. Soon there was a little boys there and Jacob made friends with him quickly. When we left Jacob told us that the boy was his best friend. After walking thru Sears we took the boys to sit on the quarter rides. Gavin (Jacob’s new best friend) was there and was just about to ride the rollercoster ride. He invited Jacob to ride with him. I wasn't sure if Jacob would like it but he seemed to enjoy it. We got home around 9:30. Jacob fell asleep in the car and continued sleeping as Daddy took him to his bed. Adam talked most the way home.
