Only two! Well alot of times when you swear they are having like five they only have a couple. Bad goats!

Yep, remember 20kids and Nova? She was huge and only had one.

Now Bridge, where are the pictures of the kids? You already admitted to taking the camera out to the barn.

Oh I'll have to get some better pics today. The ones I got last night were pretty "slimy" looking!

Ok, well this isn't so great, but it was from last night. Didn't take any pics today. Sorry!

Had a GREAT busy day with CocoNUt, the evil one and my old neighbor Lisa. We skirted 3 or 4 fleeces and had a great time! A couple of the Jacob fleeces were just yummy, the blue fleece from BLUE was so beautiful! I have her head wool in the washer right now. I can't wait to spin it! It's a luscious steel blueish gray color. So pretty!

Then we all went and put sheep blankets on the 3 new Jacobs, after removing Uriah the brat from the premises. Well that was a struggle getting the blankets over the Jacob's horns, let me tell you. But we managed to do it. But since it was so hard getting them over the horns we had to put medium size blankets on them. A bit too big and they are hanging pretty loosely. After Lisa left, Tim saw the blankest and "suggested" we take them off because they would get all tangled up in them. So Coco and I went back in and wrestled the blankets back off of them. :/

Then Coco and evil helped me feed all the sheep and some of the goats. They got to joyously watch me get mobbed by the sheep and I fell in the mud and was trampled by the sheep. :/ Not a pretty sight. But luckily there were no injuries, just muddy poopy jeans and sweatshirt.

So we got everybody fed, then went back in and Coco bought some goat meat from Tim (Uni *cough*cough) which we are having for dinner, btw.

So overall it was a great day and I really enjoyed the company of the girls and appreciated the help VERY MUCH!

Hopefully the sheep didn't trample you! Love the fleece... glad you had a nice day with friends!
