3 little ranch hands

I was awake at 6 and watched the clock off and on till after 7 when I fell asleep again only to wake with a start at 7:30 and the Paetz kids were not here yet. Amanda had text they were aiming for 7:15. I quickly brushed my teeth and soon they were here just running late.

 Mr J gets a good morning rub

The kids had a busy morning playing and helping feed the horses hay then Sheldon hauled out the lacrosse sticks to teach them the game.

Arch went to sleep after lunch for almost 3 hours. S had a nap too while Asher watched a few super hero episodes and Ada and I went to watch B ride then fed the 2 mares their herb mix. The day had turned sunny now and eventually hit 23. After Archer woke we all headed outside again for fresh air and play. Britt was off to meet Kaylin after her work shift and head to Banff to meet Shaina and more girlfriends for her birthday celebration.

After his nap, S went out to finish the wall in the barn

Amanda and Craig were back by 4:30 so Sheldon made spaghetti and pizza for supper. The hockey game of course was on too. The troops loaded up at 8:30 and headed home, S went to the TV room and I worked on blog posts. I created a stencil tips & projects one and got it posted on a few places.
