Celeste cleaned up after Lizzie ate and put her down in the playpen along with the other two fed babies before nursing the last one.

Sage drug the moose back to where he'd set the smaller game and dropped that there. He brought the smaller game home first, calling in to Celeste he was going back for more after setting a few rabbits and squirrels down on the porch, then hopped off to go drag the moose back. That took a little longer....even on all fours, dragging it with his mouth, it was really heavy, and a lot of work. It was worth it though, as it was a good couple hundred pounds of meat for the family, as well as a nice warm hide and other things. Plus cool antlers.

Celeste smiled, watching her husband come back with the dead animals. She waved from the windows in the living room, still nursing a baby and watching over the other three.

Sage had waved at her with a grin before heading back for the moose. He finally got it back into the yard, dragging it in a jerky motion since it was so heavy. The kids should be fed and possibly asleep by then, so he was hoping he and Celeste could tag team this one. It would go much quicker that way.

Celeste finished up nursing the last triplet before putting them all down for a nap. She took a baby monitor with her before going outside and beginning to clean the rabbits and squirrels Sage had already brought back.

Sage was glad to notice Celeste already out on the porch...he wasn't sure he'd have much time to get the rabbits and such done so it was good she'd wandered out. He drug the moose across the yard, inch by inch, tugging it along on all fours much like a wolf. He did make a small noise to alert Celeste he was back....though it sounded more excited puppyish than he'd really have liked it to be.

Celeste glanced over his shoulder and spotted him with the moose. "Ooh, that will be really good for us," she grinned.

Sage had his mouth full, since he was dragging it along that way, but he nodded in response to her comment. It took another minute or so so get the animal close enough to where she was at he could drop it and move to start skinning it, but he grinned excitedly over at her. "I haven't seen moose around here before," he chirped.

"Me neither," she chirped. She hung the pelts out in the sun, and threw the bones in the lake. The moose bones would be of good use, but the rabbit and squirrel bones were too thin and breakable. "Do you think you could make Att some teething toys with the bones or the antlers?" she asked. Celeste had noticed his teeth had begun to come in, he even accidentally bit her while he was nursing. It did hurt a little, but didn't draw blood.

Sage hummed in thought, eyeing the carcass as he moved to tug the skin off smoothly. "I probably could," he mused, working at cutting up the meat and then eyeing some of the bones. "I could make a bunch probably...all three of them will need one and if we keep making more we'll need even more than that," he added.
