Armed with his bottle and a layer of extra anti nibbling clothing our intrepid wee warrior climbed into the pen with the wild untamed lambies.
Poor kid never stood a chance. The quads just LOVE him. And only two are bottle fed remember!
Barely escaped with his boots actually. I have a feeling that Minty, who will still follow a bottle at her age, was egging them on!
Minty loves people.
As you can see Mama keeps a close eye on visitors. But the homeschooled children are used to her, they know Mothers are like that.
Then back inside we went to practice our knitting. We cut up old fabric into long strips, knotted them together and made peggy squares.
Life is fun.
Good morning. I have made a pact with myself not to mention the weather for a week. Unless it is glorious sun or life giving rain. I shall not mention the cold again. I don’t think it helps to moan about stuff we cannot change. It just drags us deeper, making it harder to cope. And to moan about the cold makes me feel colder and more hunched and miserable. And I was getting repetitive. So. The End of Cold Talk.
I really hope that you have a lovely day. We will.

Cuteness. Great photos.
[Am doing the same thing re: the stupid weather.]
ooooo…kniting with strips of fabric. Another project added to my list. Thinking of which….did you ever do anything with Mama’s lovely spun wool from crazysheeplady ?
I am making peggy squares too, literally knitted squares that are all sewn together afterward, half crocheted and half knitted , it is getting big but I need more wool!!
Like everyone else, I was a bit shocked to see how fast the lambies have grown. It was wonderful to have a sense of scale with the lambs. Glad to see Minty in there with them, and Mama in her full police stance…so funny, but she’s such a good mama. What a fun day. I, too, envy these children and the experiences they are having with you, Celi. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Morning Celi, yesterday C and I chased a sucker hole for some sun and went for a walk around a lake. Since my latitude is 49° N and you are at 42° N, I’m very happy to report bird pairing, gnat swarming, wild flower sprouting and catkin…um… catkining. Spring is almost here! Take heart my little Popsicle heart. 🙂
Good job they didn’t eat him – I’m not sure he’d be so safe with pigs 😉
Another fun thing to do with children is weave on cardboard looms.
hmm, that would be excellent..what a fab idea, we will, as soon as you tell me how to make one!! I certainly have PILES of boxes with the building!
It has looked quite cold in your recently posted pictures. Not to bring up a sore subject or anything……:-) Soon C, soon!
I’m going to tell you, Celi, what I tell the woman that lives above me: You’re feeding those kids/lambs too much! Her little boys aren’t so little anymore, the older is undergoing a growth spurt. I swear he’s grown an inch each time I see him. Your lambs, though, are growing far quicker than that. I must admit, the photos of the youngin’ with the bottle are priceless. I doubt he’ll ever forget that experience.
I hope you’re having a great day!
thanks for the smiles this morning!..and memories of this as a child!
Would you explain peggy squares, Celi? Those knitting needles are huuuuge!
good morning, excellent question.. peggy squares are little knitted squares, you knit hundreds of them and then sew them all together to make a blanket! c
So cute Cinders to see those kids in there with the lamb kids and WOW…how big they are already! And yes, I too would like to know more about fabric squares….it looks like something maybe even I could do! 🙂
Listen. Listen Celi. You will hear the roars of laughter from our house all the way to the barn on The Farmy. Everything started in good order and then child with bottle was lamb attacked. Priceless photographs!! Meanwhile The Good Husband came in from the heifer barn – laughing.” What is it with small animals. I’ve just had my pants licked to death by one of the heifer’s”. “You’re lucky”, said I. “You could have lost your pants. This little guy almost lost his boots feeding the lambies”. V.
What a great life for your children. I love the photos!
I don’t mind reading about your cold toilet seat –so cold that one of your follower’s said his a.m. bowel movement threatened to take a U-turn. I’ve been laughing ever since.
It gets like that sometimes… where you are just so sick of something you can bear to think or speak of it… and it’s best to move on to wonderful things, like truly heartwarming lambies and kids, regardless of it being weather or life it’s a sound philosophy 🙂
