Thursday June 25

Today was wonderfully uneventful :)
We went and checked Night-night's babies in the morning.
They both seemed great, and no other babies were born.
I was a little concerned, mom seemed to pay a lot of attention to the black one and trying to get away from the spotted one.
So we kept an eye on it.
About 10, I noticed that Night-night was wandering around the field.
I didn't want her to get too far from her babies.
I called Gramps, and he said it would be a good idea to corral them.
But we still had Buffalo and her babies in there.....
So Madi and I hauled over an old fence panel and blocked the door so we had two sections.
The inside of the barn, and the fenced off part just outside the barn.
The only tricky part was......we wanted Night-night in the barn, and Buffalo in the outer fenced part.
So it was interesting and probably pretty comical to watch us get the job done :)
But we did it.
Night-night has been a very good mom.
I think while I was watching earlier, the spotted guy must have already eaten, and Night-night was trying to get the black one to eat before the spotted one took it all :)
Buffalo looks so much better today.
Her poor swollen udder looks almost normal now.
So that is great.
And she seems a lot more comfy.
I need to get in there with my camera and take some good shots of those babies!
They are just so cute!
(Rachel, you asked, they are Boar goats :)
So three spotted one and one black so far.
All the spotted are males :(
DARN!
Hopefully Velvets baby/babies are girls!
The rest of the day we did cleaning.
Madi, with the help of Cassi a little, painted a lot more of the deck rails.
The have almost one full side of the stairs done now.
Looks good!
I think, I know, it is a bigger job than Madi thought it would be.
But she is sticking to it!
The boys did a lot pf playing.
First Cannon over here, with Max and Graham for just a bit.
Then Port went to Cannon's then they came back a little later.
And Max and Graham came back over.
All four of them played for a long time....well actually Graham hung out with Elsie playing tag :)
Then Stacia called to see if they wanted to swim.
Of course they wanted to swim!
So off they all went.
Once the boys left, Cassi and Elsie had friends over.
Kaili and Malia came over and played for a while before it was time to start dinner and wait for daddy to get home.
We took them home and Cassi ran with me to get milk and toilet paper......(I really need to get better about my shopping list!)
We got home just before dad did.
We had hamburgers for dinner.
After dinner dad went out to meet the new kids :)
We hung out there for a while.
Then we came in and Mr. fix-it got to work on our broken/clogged pipe.
He fixed it, of course.....
But not without getting some pretty yucky stuff on him.
He's just the best.
And he is beat!!!!!
He is so tired!
He's got class again in the morning....but I am happy he is home here tonight.
He needs some good sleep!
