Aaron was a sweetheart and took the day off of work for Valentine's Day, so we had an ALL DAY date! It started with feeding the animals. Here are our four horses. They are Missouri Foxtrotters, and all are less than a year old. There are three fillies and one colt.
From left to right:
Arrow (the colt), Blaze, J-Star (the one hidden in back), and Rubia.
This is J-Star and Rubia. Rubia has been our sick horse that we have had to nurse back to health so frequently this last month or so.
They LOVE getting their food :)
We have this new wrap carrier that we love! At first Peter wasn't a fan, but that's because I would wear it with him facing in towards me. He would cry and fuss and try to look outward. Now when I use it, I let him face outward and see the world, and he LOVES it and is calm and quiet! He likes helping us feed the animals, but he is not a fan when the goat gives him kisses on the lips...and yes, she has done that. He doesn't mind dog kisses though :)
This is our wild, spunky, spastic Ginny the Unicorn. She makes life interesting. Her favorite thing to do is jump on top of our car and poop and pee on it. This is an almost daily occurrence. You can't really see, but her right horn is broke in half due to her rambunctious and bullying ways.
Molly is our Australian Shepherd/ lab mix. She is our fierce protector. Her and Ginny are best friends and are inseparable. Our neighbors even commented on our two great pyrenese dogs- I laughed and had to tell them that one was a goat, and they weren't great pyrenese. Can you tell our neighbors don't live too close to be able to tell the details of the animals?
After all of the animal excitement, it was time for our real date- the floor. The floor has been an ongoing project for a few months. Aaron started fixing it while on paternity leave when Peter was born, but it is a BIG project and he is a busy man!
Peter was our constant companion during our date. He was as patient with us as a three month old could be.
When he gets hungry he likes to eat his fists and he started sucking on his thumb. This is a habit we are trying to break, but it is hard because he won't take a pacifier. Pacifiers make him puke!
In the back bedroom we had to rip up a piece of the old subflooring and put new OSB down. That's what Aaron is doing here.
Here is the finished product for the day. We still have a few more days work to put in on this project.
To celebrate the partially finished flooring, I made Indian food (rice, and chicken and veggies in a curry sauce), and we ate like I did while in India- cross legged on the floor and using our hands (but we threw in a candle for Valentines Day). No utensils. ! I don't know what it is, but food tastes better if you eat it with your hands :)
