Snow sliding on the mega pile, snowmen and rabbit cages. What a nice day.

The Professor called me late in the week to tell me due to the snow and the travel situation he would not be able to make the connection to go get the rabbits he was going to pick up for himself and the girls.  He did have a different thought on getting them though.  He had just been to the Couer D'alene rabbit show last week and was going to let us get his male that took first at the show and three females, all New Zealands.  I thought that would be a win win, so Poppie has cages to make sooner than we thought. Poppie got some boards and rabbit wire from Thor and as soon as the animal chores were done he got to building.  We decided to put the cages in the big barn, formerly known as Poppies shop.  They will be on both sides of the door to the chick coop.  Poppie is going to build a smaller shop out front of the barn and restructure the rest of the barn.  Poppie worked most of the day and has still got more work to do, but the rabbits will have a home to come home to.  If he gets it done early in the day the girls will get to go get their rabbits, if not Poppie will go get them tomorrow.

Teenager had added to the snow pile at the end of the drive on Friday night when he plowed us out.  It is a real mega pile now, nice and hard,  the kids are loving it.  They slide down it on their bums and they slid down it on their sleds.  They will eventually dig out parts and make forts I am sure but for now the sliding is the most important part.  Boy and Yogie spent the most time on it and eventually had a big fight, they were each holding their own until Mokie tried to help.  She tries to be fair but always ends up on Boy's side, she and Yogie fight a bit anyway as a rule so that doesn't help.  I told her she needed to stay out of it as she makes their disagreement uneven.  Yogie finally yelled at her in great distress, tears streaming down her face "you always take his side, he tattles and I get in trouble."  That was a shock and a big achievement for Yogie, she rarely stands up for herself.   Mokie finally backed off and let them work it out alone.  Yogie ended up going home with Boy to play.  Mokie helped them all make the cutest snow people, one sitting in the car Son made for the kids to play on.  Booboo was sick but snuck out to play and Mokie made her put on Boy's coat,  She had snuck out without her coat, in her jammies, I was not happy with her when I found out.  Mokie told me "I made her at least put on a coat",  I was happy she had.  All the kids were playing and having a good old time, I got drafted to watch Bubbie while the kids, Mokie included, enjoyed the play in the snow.  Who says, the age difference in the sibling makes a difference in their fighting with one another, working it out and playing together, never spent much time watching them or mine are just not normal.  Mine fight like any regular sibling, love one another and are building a bond that can't be broken in the future or in a time of need.  God's plan I think, it's called family..... tomorrow.
