The RockinRRanch

As we headed out the door Jacob said, "You can take my picture."

Checking out the opossum.






Fun in the leaves.











Jared is sick and his ears are bothering him so he didn't sleep well last night. The boys woke up just before 8:00. They came on my bed while I finished my last exercise. They sat at the little table to draw even before breakfast. We watched the tractor video. After breakfast Jacob went back to drawing. It was a nice, cool morning (low 40 degrees, it warmed up to 75 today). We took a walk down our road and the boys collected some rocks. Then we walked over to look at the opossum we have in our live trap. While I took care of the horses the boys played in the barn. We then had lots of fun raking leaves and playing in them. The boys liked burying each other and especially liked burying Mommy. Back inside the boys did some drawing, cutting, and gluing. After lunch we played doctor. Then the boys played doctor with their stuffed animals while I dusted, vacuumed, and did some laundry. They also had fun playing with boats and cups in a large tub of water that I put in the kitchen. Around 2:30 we read some books while they ate their snack. They had me read, “Where the Wild Things Are” several times. Jacob played with foam blocks while resting. He told me, “Max my bery best friend. Him loves me.” Jared got home around 5pm. Adam napped until 5:30. The boys played with foam blocks and cars. After dinner Adam asked Daddy to play Mario Kart. I went outside to take care of the animals and also cleaned the chicken coop. The hot air balloon festival is this weekend and the balloons were up tonight. The boys and Daddy came outside to see them. Jacob and Adam had fun running around while I sprayed them with the hose. Jared had class again this evening. We watched a Bob the Builder video. I kept an eye out of the fox though it didn’t show up again tonight. Jared got done with class in time to also tuck the boys in. Adam wanted to be rocked by Daddy too.
