Caesar goes walkabout, garden tilling and green house building continues.

Caesar has gone walkabout this morning Poppie is mad at him and since Caesar can feel his anger won't let Poppie catch him. Poppie was so mad at him that he threatened to shot him. I tried to calm him down but he is plain mad. I got him to come in and let Caesar and Rommy play a little in the yard and garden then I would help him catch them after he got home from taking the girls to school. He agreed. The two goats romped around and chased one another, then quietly walked up the driveway where Son snapped a rope on Caesar and he and Poppie toke him back to his pen. He has to go in the pen with the electric wire and the post to tie him until Poppie fixes his regular pen. Poppie thank goodness has calmed down. Caesar might be in time out for awhile Poppie wants him to learn manners. I think they are in an alpha-male fight of some sort, Poppie will win, he must or Caesar will have to go so he doesn't hurt Poppie.

Yogie goes on a field trip today. They will be going about 40 miles on the bus to Mizmo Gym, they will then put on their puppet play for their hosts. They made the puppets themselves with their moms help over spring break. All the children are excited and they get to have sack lunches, one of the highlights of the day I think.

Poppie and Boy got the tiller motor changed over so will get the garden tilled up and ready to plant. I picked up seeds for the plants we will plant straight into the ground. We will get bedding plants from Grandpa. The girls had gone down a month or so ago to help him plant them. They got to have a great day with Grandpa. We hope to make progress on the green house today, the weather man say we get three days of nice weather so hope to take advantage of it. Mothers day it is to be rainy, so sad. I did get a chance to price plastic roofing in Zootown and it will only be around 190 so maybe we can swing that easier than the 300. Lets hope so.

Yesterday morning the girls and I had one of many discussions we have had on adoption. Yogie has always understood better the part about biologic parents than Booboo. We call it being born in your heart and not in your tummy. I explained again to Booboo that yes, Yogie was born in Goofy's tummy but so was she and she always say "no, I was born in your tummy" but I think maybe she finally gets it after our conversation. They both ask about Buga, as the kids adoptions is coming soon, so that probably prompted the conversation. They both understand that Buga and Song came from Goofy's tummy but they really don't put together the concept of them being sisters yet. We have the conversations regularly so that they can absorb what they can as they age. One of their questions was if Song was adopted and I said no she lives with her dad. Yogie said "ya, Matt is our dad but not Matthew (last name)" I said, "honey, yes, that is the same Matt" They both were surprised, anew, even though they have been told before. It always amazes me, just like when a child discovers that Santa isn't but still believes in the Easter Bunny. The innocence of childhood..... Tomorrow.
