New piglets and they aren't ours, kids in holes, kids playing in the neighborhood, such a joyous evening.

Poppie spent the day laying laminate.  I finished up my liquid soap/shampoo.  It turned out very well, I think, it is thick and maybe needs a little more thinning, but that is an option, you can' t remove liquid if it is to thin.  I ended up scenting 4 bottles each of flowers and sandalwood, and vanilla flowers and berries.  I will age them a week before we try them.  I did try a sample of it and it has really nice bubbles, nice feel on the hands and cleans well.  I also tried my lanolin soap.  I used the left overs from making it to lanolize a set of small diaper cover, it works, so once aged I will sell it with my diaper covers.  The laminating is going well, if not as fast as Poppie would like, he is half way across the front room and dinning room.  We are hoping to do the office with the extra, had originally thought of doing the bathrooms but on further deliberation we have decided we want tile in them.  I think we will try to get the bedroom done one at a time this year.  They may or may not be the same color as the color we are installing now. 

The Ladies came home from the cousins, on time, but then went over and helped Son stack a bundle of lumber and helped Mokie rearrange Cubbies room.  It was a nice peaceful day.  Boy came over ever little while and gathered eggs.   The chickens laid five dozen in the last few days.  I will have to call the 3 or 4 people that buy them to see if they need any.  The Ladies, Boy, Cubbie and Son rode bikes up and down the road.  The Ladies are allowed, this year, to go to the top of the hill by Sisters and down to the circle by Shinny's.  That is a larger range than they have ever had and is scares Poppie that the cars go by to fast but they have to learn to obey the rules of the road and learn to maneuver on the roads like any vehicle.  Bicycle travel is very green, becoming more and more of accepted travel and perfectly legal, so they need to master it with the traffic.  Cubbie and Boy have a more restricted area or need a chaperon to be on the girls allowable zone. 

Shinny and New Momma are getting a new house.  They have been working all week on getting the ground prepared for the houses coming.  Some of the final leveling and flattening was done yesterday.  The last of the trees are coming out.  They were in the middle of all their preparations when their pig, Peppa, decided it was time to have her babies.  Teenager kept working the backhoe but Shinny and New Momma went to assist with the birthing.  All the kids in the neighborhood had to go see, there were my Ladies, Curious, Cubbie, Boy, Mokie, Bubbie, Butterfly, Flower, the Little and Sister, all of Shinny's nieces and nephews and more  that I couldn't determine from across the road.  Teenager continued to dig holes and make piles so all the kids began to play and enjoy the fun of a playground in chaos.  Soon the kids, well all of ours, went to see Mokie's kittens, Butterfly and Flower are getting one.  Soon the Ladies decided to ask if Butterfly and Flower could stay over and then go to church.  We had Ladies big and little all night.  There was some giggling, some pop corn making, movie watching, and long past bedtime Poppie asked them to quiet down so they could get up for Church.  Now is that time.....tomorrow.
