Part of the tiling project in the north 80.
Mary came over to ride Sunday afternoon. We had a good time as usual.
Diamond and Skeet were balking because they didn’t want to head away from the barn after being out for the afternoon.
The pond is frozen but the sun melts the edges. We are hoping it melts completely during this warm snap since Thursday some bright minds thought it would be a good idea to throw sticks and rocks and dirt on it which doesn’t make for nice ice. Hopefully the chance of rain Tuesday or Wednesday happens because that will for sure melt it.
The rink is full! The boys put on the kickboards Sunday afternoon, and this afternoon (Monday), Jake and I hooked up all the cords and Jake put in the stakes for the backstop behind the goals. This should eliminate the need to crawl over frozen clods of dirt with a flashlight to find pucks that fly out.
Sunday afternoon fun.
Levi and Ben went to look at the ice on the pond, which was only about 2 inches thick.
Duplos have been a big hit lately. Jewel helped Josh make this nice camper.
Sunday evening we had Kiesers and Walders over for supper and the evening. We girls had a hilarious game of Scattergories.
[editor’s note: I was not playing but somebody thought I needed to be in the picture. This one’s for you Jen!]
Legos were a hit.
Ping-pong and foosball both got a lot of use.
The parents.
Our game only got crazier when Jake joined (is a vice a kitchen utensil? According to Jake, yes).
Only picture of today. What a cutie!
