Opening Turkey Season! I woke up to Asa ranting around the house before sunrise, trying to find his turkey call. He was getting crazed. He couldnt miss opening day turkey season with out his call. I quickly found it for him before he destroyed the house searching. I went back to bed and woke at 7:15 to Asa coming back into the house. I asked him if he had shot a turkey and he said "Noooo". I said " Do you have to poop?". He said "Yes, in the most fierce way". After he took care of business he made breakfast for the girls while I got Addisson ready for preschool. Afterwards he tried to get ready to go back out in the field to hunt but he kept having to go to the bathroom. He couldnt make it far from the house with out having to go. Meanwhile he sees turkeys out where he was waiting for them early this morning. He is so mad. He cant believe it. I chuckled to myself. The irony.

When I got back from bringing Addisson to preschool he was lying in the chair not feeling real well. He had some kind of stomach bug. I did feel bad for him since he has been so excited to shoot a turkey.

In the afternoon, Asa put Quinlyn in for a nap then left to get his haircut. Addisson went with him because she kept trying to wake Quinlyn up. Once Quinlyn did wake up we went to Watertown to pick up our new riding lawn mower. We still need to get it out of the truck but we are very excited to use it. Mean while the goats got out again. They were wondering around fertilizing the yard and eating the grass. After a while they let themselves back into the barn.

The area where Asa and I put up the fence the goats are staying in. We thought we could use the pre-existing fence which is very old with the electric fence but it just isnt working. We are going to have to rip out the old fence with the tractor and redo the entire section. This way the goats wont escape but more importantly they will be safer from predators.

Quinlyn yesterday fell face first on the sidewalk in downtown ABay in front of dance class. She has a road rash upper lip. It looks like it hurts so bad. She is a trooper. She didnt cry much.
