Of Late

Our internet has been down since last Wednesday or Thursday.  
Weston fixed it late Monday night (a wire got switched somehow), but I am just now getting taking a moment to blog.

I do not like being without internet.  

I like being without television, yes, but not the internet.
No way.

So here's some recent haps with us chaps:

Winter came around today.  She started blowing some white our way this morning.  

Up until now it has been this kind of winter: 

Sunny.  Warm-ish for winter.  Playing outside lots.

Oh, how I am a fan of a mild winter.

That's pretty much what we've been doing outside.

And inside lots of this sort of thing:

Forts.  Stuffed animals.  "Hard toys".  Wrassling.  Making a "hideout" for Baby.

The usual.

Loving the teepee (tepee, tipi - they're all in the dictionary)

made by Grandma!

It has been slept in for quite a few nights now.  

The fabric was from something of Weston's (a tent, I think) when he was a kid.

It is much loved!  And so super cool!

Thanks, Grandma!

Jiles is being the sweet/busy little Jiles that he is and constantly loving on/wondering about/pushing over his little sister, "Udder".  That is what he calls her.

Udder.

Udder?

Where in the world did he get that from? I have no idea.

He can't leave her alone.  He is very cute-sometimes-rough with her.

She mainly flinches when he comes around.  She tolerates pacifiers being shoved in her mouth tolerably well over, and over, and over, and over again.

She is a gem of a baby.  

Soooo content and chill.

All of my babies have been.

Maybe it's from all the chocolate that I eat when I am pregnant with them.

In other news:

Spencer can can.

At least this kind of canning:

 That's 105 cans.  They entertained him for quite a while over a few days.

Right after I took the above picture I had a horrible thought that if those cans fell, it would do some damage to somebody's body.  

They fell, but luckily at random when no one was around.

I told him that he had to clean them up.  Then he was entertained for like an hour organizing them on the shelf.  Right on.

This is where Zoe hangs a lot:

Here and on the living room rug with her toyies, and on my hip.

Oh yeah, this:

If you come to our back door, please observe the sign. 

Miss Kate got her big Christmas present a little late.

We wanted her to pick it out, that's why.

She's asked for a dog, and little else, for the last 3 years.

Little Maisy/Maizie/Mayzee.

However we spell it. 

Obviously Kate spells it M-a-z-y.  Like Hazy Mazy.

Anyway, she's cute, sweet, fairly obedient, and Kate is in Puppy Heaven.

See:

She stays on the back porch during the day, and in the mudroom at night. 

Except last night she stayed outside.  She wanted to.

And while we are on the subject of baby animals, the night we got Mazy one of our goats kidded.  Super cute.

They're awesome at Yoga.  Or, I suppose, they have a little trouble standing up at the beginning.

So that's all for now.
Have a great day

and....
