Too Tired

This weekend was a busy one.

About a month ago we got a couple of heifers.  Snoozy Suzy and Sassy Sophie.  They have done really well but are slow to warm up to people.  That is ok at least they are still little so they are easy to man handle if needed.

It was time for the barn to be cleaned out, Skinner got into the horse area and was cleaning.  That got Simon the bull all excited.  His fence has gotten shorter and shorter through the winter because he really doesn't pack it down and we can't get in there to scoop the snow, thus with the excitement he jumped his fence.  Skinner proceeded to chase him for about an hour and no luck.  He got close to the barn a couple of times but not back in his area.  We bailed on that and decided to move the girls into his area after it was cleaned out.  First we had to wrestle the girls to get halters on them, then convince them to follow us on a lead.  Lots of pulling and shoving and one getting away, but then getting stuck in the deep snow, then finally they were in there stall.  Skinner tried to get Simon again still no luck.  Of course he was mad which hinders his vision so as he was cleaning out the last stall he poked a hole in the water tank.  Such a peaceful calm day cleaning the barn. Not!  By the way after all of this we went after Simon and in about 2 min. he walked into his stall peacefully on his own.  Silly cows.

Kaj had a friend come over Saturday night and they played and played.  Inside and out which was wonderful.  Brandi was up and they had fun with the snowmobile after they helped dig her out of being stuck in the snow bank.  Saturday night they stayed up til who knows when watching movies.  Sunday Rayce decided he would give cross country a try with Kaj at Y-Ski.  They had already played outside that morning and then inside and I kicked them outside when I thought Gramma and Granpa would be coming to get them for y-Ski.  An hour later G&G showed up and the boys were a bit irritated because I wouldn't let them ride the 4 wheeler and snowmobile like they had earlier because well when I know someone is coming I don't want them to have to dodge kids on vehicles.

G&G came and they were off up the trail for y-ski!  Peace and quiet for a bit for me.  The boys had a great time and got to have malts at trail center before coming home.  We brought Rayce home and I Kaj and I got home.  Fast forward a couple of hours to dinner time, he is a little too tired.

Me: Kaj in about 15 min. you need to shower and eat and go to bed
Kaj: Ok
about 30 min later
Me:  Are you going to shower and eat or eat and shower
Kaj: There is nothing to eat (keep in mind that I made him a pizza which previously he said he would eat, there is also veggie beef soup, creamy baked potato soup, cheezy enchiladas or PB&J that he could also eat)
Me: What about the pizza
Kaj: I am just not hungry for pizza
Me:  Ok how about a shower
Kaj: There is nothing to eat......

This goes on and on.  Finally
Me:  Kaj just go to bed
Kaj: Why didn't you make me eat the potato soup?
Me: Why do I have to make you eat it?
Kaj: You should make me eat it.
Me: KAJ GO EAT THE POTATO SOUP RIGHT NOW
Kaj: That isn't how you make me eat it.
Me: KAJ GO EAT THE POTATO SOUP OR GO TO BED 1   2   3
I start to get up to get him up stairs
Kaj:  You can't just start counting you have to give me time to think about it.
...the argument unfortunately did not just end there.

Seriously this child.  He was so tired he was arguing about nothing.  For full effect we will have to reenact it live.  But just picture any sitcom where you are just like do people really have these arguments they are ridiculous.  Yes, Yes we do. Sadly
