Riding their horse


Both boys woke up just after Daddy left for work this morning. They lay in bed quietly for awhile before going back to asleep. Adam woke up around 8:30 and Jacob slept in until almost 9:30. After breakfast we watched Sesame Street. At 10:30 we headed into town because Adam had an 11:00 appointment to have his pictures taken. He acted shy and didn’t really want to let go of me. After awhile though he warmed up some and began talking to the photographer. There was no crying so that was good and we got a few good pictures to choose from. Afterwards the boys ate a packed lunch in the food court. Then they had a great time playing at the malls play area. We stayed there for a little over an hour. They also had fun pretending on the quarter rides. We got home around 2pm. The boys played for a while with legos and matchbox cars. I tucked Adam in for a nap around 3pm. Jacob typed on the computer and then played games at PBSkids. Jared was home shortly after 5pm. When Adam woke up he cuddled with Daddy for a while. Then he asked me to help him play pbs games on the computer. After dinner Jared went outside to plow the driveway. A while later he came back in asking me to check out his head. The belt had come off from the tractor so Jared pushed the it into the light. He then got underneath it to put on the belt while holding in the clutch. Thinking the tractor was in neutral he let off the clutch. The chained tractor tire went over his head and his arm/hand. He still went back outside to finish plowing. Jacob and Adam were pretending their hockey stick was a horse as they rode around the house. When Daddy got on their horse Adam said, “No Daddy, this is just for little boys.” At bedtime Jacob read me “Make Way for Ducklings.” I was surprised how much of the story he has memorized. After the boys were tucked in bed Jared went outside to work on their bunk bed.
