Jacob was excited about popcorn day at school today. Student council was selling it for a quarter. This morning I made some applesauce for Eli. Adam gets the train set (or road set) out to play with just about every day. Eli likes crawling thru the tunnel. He likes making noises by scratching the material. After tucking him in for a nap Adam and I put together a puzzle. Then we played Candyland. Adam played Webkinz while I did some exercises. Eli was really tired from a missed nap yesterday and took a 3 ½ hr nap this morning. After feeding him a late lunch I worked on my coupons for shopping tomorrow.

Jacob sure was helpful this morning while getting breakfast ready. Back from school Adam hid under his blanket as I went to get him from his car seat. When I pulled off the blanket he said, “Awh, I thought you would never find me under there.” Today Eli has learned to rock himself on the rocking sheep and he loves it. Adam wore the rollerblades a lot today and loves going around the house in those. He moves his arms back and forth like his really rollerblading. Jacob fell down and then held his chest saying, “Awh, I think I broke my bone.” We played some Mario Galaxy. When Daddy came home Adam looked at me and said, “When Daddy comes home its his turn to play.” The boys watched Daddy play until dinnertime. After dinner we headed over to the county forest to do some sledding. The weather was great for sledding (around 30 degrees). We sure had fun! Jacob and Adam really enjoyed themselves. Jacob went down most of the time on his own. Adam also went down several times on his own. Even Eli got to go down a few times. Before leaving we played on the ice. The boys loved when Daddy would pulled them and then let go as they flew across the ice.

I let Adam and Eli sleep until it was time to leave for school. During breakfast Jacob said, “Raylynn and I are thinking about getting married.” Every day after dropping off Jacob at school we have to drive thru the high school parking lot to play the slug bug game. There’s always 2 or 3 that Adam or I get. We came home to eat breakfast and watched the Cat in the Hat. Adam played some PBS games while I played on the floor with Eli. Around 10:30 I tucked Eli in for a nap. Adam begged me to play Mario Galaxy so I played a little with his help. Then we put together some puzzles. I did a boxing exercise before lunch. Eli woke up around lunchtime. After lunch Adam and I played some games. Eli was bouncing to the music we had playing. He loved the magnetic letters/numbers that I put on the refrigerator. I got the house vacuumed, which was way overdue. Eli likes the vacuum and followed me around. Jacob was excited to talk about his Spanish teachers new cart that the principal gave to her. Today in his journal he wrote, “I went in my camper to look out the window. I saw a lot of snowflakes!” Eli took a 2 hr nap, waking around 6:00. Jared had a dentist appointment today. Kenzie was in for an appointment there too so he got to see her and Vikki. Jacob did many nice drawings. After dinner the boys watched Daddy play Mario Galaxy. Eli went thru some drawers and cupboards in the kitchen.

Eli woke up around 4:30 to nurse and then slept until 9:00. I got up at 6am to do my exercises. Jacob and Adam were up around 7:30 and lay on the couch to watch PBS. Eli got a donut hole this morning and loved it. We went to Salvation army and then headed over to Vikki's house. Adam and Eli stayed with her and Kenzie while we took Jacob to his picture appointment. He did great for them all. We then walked around the mall. Jacob lost his sweatshirt, which was tied around his wais. We searched for it and even check with security but didn't find it. Before going back to Vikki's we drove thru McDonalds for ice cream cones. We had a nice time visiting at Vikki's. Around 5:30 we headed home. After dinner we watched a movie. This evening Jacob sure was getting some big smiles and giggles from Eli.
