Today has been bright and sunny, but still a bit cold. It has turned into a less than normal day. School lessons began a little later today, but we still accomplished much. The children played together today dressing up and spent quite a bit of time singing together too. I really enjoy that.
Todd was doing an electrical job in Jamestown about a half hour from home. He is now finishing the painting he had begun in our living room/dining room and kitchen. My daughters are especially glad, because that means he will soon begin their new bedroom.
My eldest sons worked on school lessons today and chored for our neighbors. Generally they have daily ping pong matches with each other, but did not today. The mini barn shop, where they usually work afternoons, is slow presently, and so they don't know what to do with their time.They are down to three days a week right now, but things should pick up soon.
The puppies my daughters have raised are so active right now and demand a lot of attention. The chihuahuas especially, because we have them in a Rubbermaid bin in the house. The collies, my oldest daughter's dogs, are in the barn with their mother and I never hear them until we bring them in to pet them and groom them.. I will be glad when this project is over, even though I really like dogs, two litters are a lot of work. We had the collies, and then our neighbors female chihuahua died a week after a cesarean. My daughter offered to help care for them, and our collie female was willing to take them on as her pups. Their owners gave my daughter the pups. It has been a great project for her she is so good with animals.
