Subject: Christmas Cleaning etc.

Today we woke up at 5:30 (all of us! The kids were not too happy with that either!) and I made a big breakfast and we ate and we got in warm clothes and went outside (Shawn stayed inside with Thomas and Nevada because he had to work until noon and he didn't have to leave until 7 so he stayed with them inside until I got in at 7) Here's what we did:
6:00 (by the time we got out there it was already 6 so here's what we did from here on out)
Stephanie: Got feeds ready and delivered
MeShelle: Turned out horses
Lisa: Turned out horses
Erick: Gave horses hay in paddocks
Linsey: Cleaned feed and water buckets out very well)
Lacey: Brought all the haynets in and refilled them (from stalls)
Adam: Started mucking out stalls

We all helped eachother with their chores once we finished ours, we were done by 6:50 with all those chores mentioned up there... so I went inside with Lacey and Linsey to let them warm up and here's what Lisa, Meshelle, Adam, & Erick did:
Lisa: did a fence check (round pen, stall etc. everything that the horses use frequently)
MeShelle: Cleaned tack
Adam: Through down hay and straw and stacked them
Erick: Checked & refilled horses water

I went back outside at 8:30 with Lacey and Linsey and Erick and Adam came inside to watch Nevada and Thomas. Here's what we did:
Stephanie:
Lisa: Rebedded stalls
MeShelle: Sweeped the barn, got rid of cobwebs etc.
Lacey: Cleaned pets cages etc.
Linsey: Played fetch with the dogs and gave the cats a early x-mas present
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We all went inside until 3:00, at 5:00 when Shawn came back we went out and we had MeShelle and Lisa b-sit while we went christmas shopping.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At 7:30 when we got back we rode horses (Riding Board) then, we did evening chores, here's what we did:
Stephanie: Mixed feeds & delivered
Shawn: Hung horse and animal stockings
Lisa: Sweeped the isle (after all the horses were inside & hay was delivered)
Liney: Helped Erick brush horses
Erick: Brushed the horses (some of them)
Adam: Hung the haynets, gave horses water
MeShelle: Brought the horses inside
Lacey: Checked water and helped Adam bring water to the horses
Nevada and Thomas: played in the play room (it's heated)

Then we went inside to sleep (Santa Claus is coming tonight! *wink wink*)

EXTRA EXTRA (lol) My daughter, Nevada took her first baby steps today! She's going to be walking by New Years!
