The babies are so incredibly cute right now! Phil's parents, Jim and Lois, visited us for a week and left yesterday morning. The last two nights they were here we brought four baby goats into the house so we could each hold one during "movie night". It was so much fun and the babies were all very relaxed.
But then last night after Jim and Lois left, things took a turn for the wild side. Phil and I wanted a relaxing evening with baby goats, so we brought Thor and Mocha into the house. Phil entertained them by running around the kitchen and living room with them while I popped some popcorn. Mocha is our littlest but most acrobatic baby and she amused herself by jumping onto the back of the couch. Both babies were flying and leaping everywhere. It was extremely lively and funny, and it was all going marvelously well until suddenly I heard a cry of horror when Phil discovered Thor peeing right on Phil's side of the couch! The popcorn was just done popping so I left it to clean up the mess while Phil took Thor into the kitchen. I was drying off the couch and spraying cleaner on it when I heard another yell from the kitchen. Thor was finishing his business on the tile floor. Phil mopped that up and we thought we were good to go.
I tucked Mocha under one arm and set my popcorn on the end table, thinking Phil had Thor under control. Just as I was about to sit down, I heard a gasp behind me and from the corner of my eye I saw Thor come flying out of nowhere right onto the end table. The bowl of popcorn flew gracefully across the living room, scattering popcorn in every direction. What a mess! We put the babies downstairs in a makeshift pen in the basement while I cleaned up the floor and cooked a new batch of popcorn. The kids were exhausted by the time we retrieved them from the basement and the rest of the evening was uneventful, but what a fiasco!
