A quick picture update from the last two days~

I just got finished with my first game of Stratego--playing against Andrew. When he was at the Bartletts, they taught him this game, so he came home and told us about it and then he/we made this board to play it on. We had to tape pennies onto the bottoms of each piece of paper, as they would just tip over otherwise. :) Andrew won, but said that at first he really thought I was going to win. After the game was over, he showed me where his flag was and where I had gone right by it with my #10 man! Oops...
Yesterday, Jacob dug out his wood-burning tools and decided to practice with them. He made...

...a very cute cow!

I took the following picture as Dad and Andrew pulled in the yard with the "New" grain cleaning rig yesterday...

And this picture is of Lady--when she met two of my calves for the first time. The three of them had quite a stare down until one calf moved a bit and Lady took off running in the opposite direction!

Lady had fun running around the yard with Millie this afternoon. After Jacob's schoolwork was done, and I had a Hubbard squash in the oven; granola bars baked; and the Kombucha started again, he and I headed outside to sled down the big hills of snow my dad has pushed up with the extra snow from the driveway. We had a lot of fun, and every once in a while, the dogs would climb the mounds to us for a pat on the head. :) The snow is so fun--sometimes!
