A few photos from our weekend activities -- it was a low-keyed sort of weekend, as J was battling a tummy bug. We had to miss out on a campout we really wanted to go to, so that was a dissappointment, but we managed to have a nice weekend anyway.In this first shot, J drew a picture of the inside of his body (on his Magnadoodle), then held it up to show me how he looks on the inside.
The kids had fun playing with playdoh on Sunday afternoon. (Still in PJs because it was a "sick day".) Here, J is working on a sculpture of a pink alien. Zoo Boy told me that they made a lot of sculptures of letters, numbers, and animals too. (I was outdoors assiting The Map Man with the fence for most of it.)
This big toad has taken up residence next to our trash bin. Smart toad, plenty of flies there. It's about the biggest toad I've ever seen, that's a quarter I put down for size comparison. Note his dark coloration -- when we first moved here, all of our toads were light brown in color. But as the years have gone by and the sheep's fertilizer has enriched and darkened the soil, nature has selected for the survival of toads that are darker in color. (On dark soil predators can easily see light colored toads, hence the darker ones survive to reproduce and pass on their dark color.)
More fencing -- we reset the posts along the pony pasture side of the driveway and got the boards up this weekend. We still need to put up the wire (a heavier guage, taller wire than what we used around the yard).
Not all of us worked and played hard this weekend. This is our little old cat, Dori, who has stuffed herself into the smallest hole possible (amongst the dry goods from our last grocery trip) for a nap.
